The new update also fix several problems:
- A critical security fix. The issue was that hackers had found and published a way of taking full control of the entire phone of those built on Gingerbread SW.

- The Email “Sent” folder displayed the messages organized by sender instead of the recipient.
- After configuring an email account to work with MS Push (Exchange Email) the handset seemed erratic after the first sync. Emails would not be received even after power cycling and telling device to sync manually. On occasions they would be half an hour or several days late.
- Cannot configure Microsoft Online Services (MOS) mail (exchange) account in the device. On entering all the required settings and chose to proceed, device tries to complete the set up but fails and reverts back to the account settings page.
