I just found that the new FW ROM is out:
Nokia 800 RM-801 Vodafone New Zealand NZ Matt Black V2
Any one want to have a try?

I just found this firmware as well. Looks like we'll get some new camera modes

<setting mode="still" type="header" title="Camera Extras"/>

<setting type="launcher" mode="still" title="Smart group shot"
     taskParam="FaceNudgeMode" productId="{1e310870-4f8b-424f-ab09-cba832770981}" />

<setting type="launcher" mode="still" title="Action shot"
     taskParam="ActionCameraMode" productId="{1e310870-4f8b-424f-ab09-cba832770981}" />

<setting type="launcher" mode="still" title="Panorama"
       taskParam="PanoramaMode" productId="{1e310870-4f8b-424f-ab09-cba832770981}" />

Good find, where did you find this?

Maybe this fw upgrade also brings internet sharing! Anyone got hands on the change log?

So tempted to flash it. I just hate all the app-reinstalling afterwards...

theres an app called re-installer that scans your account for apps youve downloaded and you can chose which to reinstall. its a little manual, but it does help

Ah, thanks! Might as well give this 12070 firmware a go

ReInstaller is fantastic. Still takes time, but is MUCH faster than the standard method.

Yes, let us know what you find on the FW update. Curious about ICS.

Ok, just flashed.

The phone rebooted and I was greeted with a nice Vodafone logo! Didn't realise it was Vodafone branded...

Still playing around with it, but have just installed Diagnostics and they've updated the battery status app. It only shows Voltage and Current (ie, full charge capacity has gone). I have to say, it's idling at a MUCH LOWER discharge rate than before. At idle, it's discharging at 50 - 65mA!! On 11501, it idled at 140mA!

Will post with more info after I've had a play around

Awesome news about the battery! Also did they fix the backlight issues?

 

[tjramage]

The backlight on the 3 buttons stays illuminated when on medium and high brightness too

Cant see anything to do with WiFi tethering though...

Awesome! How's the brightness of it on auto? Similar to 11451 or 11501?

Excuse me for supernoobish post, but i'm kinda new in WP7 stuff. Where can I find this firmware? On Navifirm?

Yup! And flash with Nokia Product Support Tool from Nokia Care Suite (seidea.com).

I'd say closer to that of 11501...

Oh well lol. Thanks for the info!

Is that with a 3G data connection enabled?

I only have Edge at home, so can't test 3G. Will test it when I go downtown tomorrow

 

[mattmanslim]

I can't wait to try this out on my UK Lumia. I've got sick to death of the absolutely appalling battery life. If this doesn't sort it then I really will try to get shot of the thing.

Any changes to the audio quality coming through the 3.5 mm jack? (better bass??)

 

[tjramage]

I may be wrong, but the camera seems exactly the same. Still has that red tinge in the centre...

I don't use the Lumia as a music device, so I wouldn't know what to compare it to from previous firmwares I'm afraid... Sorry!
