No, it's not the one that rings in the new Symbian interface with flexible widgets and simplified menus. It's the PR 2.0 update that takes care of the more pressing issues with Symbian^3 by including a portrait QWERTY keyboard, and a more streamlined browser interface.

All welcome changes, but there are other small improvements and bug fixes throughout the Nokia N8 landscape with the PR 2.0 update, and a kind soul has recorded a video of his cameraphone running the new firmware.

It's the most you will get for at least another few months, since the PR 3.0 update with the new interface is not expected until the end of the summer.
