How does a company release firmware with bugs that a prior iteration didn't have? It doesn't make sense.
On early versions of the N85, if one was listening to music thru a bluetooth headset in silent mode, the music would blare while an incoming message was received. This was not a problem with earlier phones.
Fast forward to the N86..where music will involuntarily blare if it's paused and an incoming call is terminated. Wtf is this bulls***?

Yea same with the N95-4 I have. I now have a wifi bug with the latest firmware and my phone likes to freeze randomly.
On the other hand, with v11 that I had before, the phone was slow but none of these bugs were apparent.
And the reason that the music will play after a call is terminated is obviously an issue with a running routine to check if music was previously played and paused to answer/place a call.
Software has bugs, regardless of how you QA it. I do agree, that's a pretty obvious bug though.

These types of bugs is why i blame nokia and not the "difficulty of coding in symbian." Once they have one version working that bug should be permanently squashed for all future firmware releases and phone models. But no, nokia manages to progress backwards. So this is why i think its an incompetence on nokia rather than the s60 symbian platform. Its very infuriating.

Exactly.
This wasn't an issue before so why is it an issue now?
There's been some brain-drain at Nokia. They've recently closed some offices that have experience with mobile software and shifted the work to "lower cost" countries with inexperienced developers and testers.
