There was a tweet earlier today from @alextootchie – N97: new firmware 12.0.023 available on RDA. Could the new firmware be released in the next  few days? Weeks? What’s the change log? No one really knows at this point but I do hope that it will fix a lot of the issues on the N97 and add more features such as the full kinetic scrolling. I guess for now we’ll have to keep checking SW updates.

Btw, here are screen shots of v12.0.023 from @alextootchie.

Rumours have spread very quicky that the N97 will get a v12 firmware update by the end of this month. If this is true, this would make it the second firmware update since the release of the N97. One can only hope that this update will be a big one and bring tons of improvements and bug fixes. No change log has been reported at this time but it is expected to have a complete kinetic scroll (seen on some youtube video for 5530) and maybe Skype. This could likely happen since NokiaWorld 09 is a few more weeks away.

If you already have a Google Voice account and you would like to use it as your primary voicemail instead of the one provided by your carrier, here is quick and easy way to forward all your calls to Google Voice. Read more…

This is not really related to N97 at this time since the Gizmo5 mobile app is not S60V5 compatible. However, I just wanted to share quickly how you can make outgoing phone calls using Gizmo5 as a Google Voice dialer. If you already have Google Voice set up follow these instructions below. If not, sign up here for an invite. It takes about 3 weeks.

Instructions:

1. Install Gizmo5 on your computer. Download here.
2. Open an account with Gizmo here.
3. Add your Google Voice account to Gizmo5 on the web. Make sure Google Voice calling is ON after you hit SAVE. (see Picture 1)
4. Find your SIP number on the “My” page, should be 1-747-XXX-XXXX.
5. Start Gizmo5 application that you’ve installed and login using your SIP number. Set up speaker and microphone.
6. Go to Google Voice and add the SIP number to your account under settings >phones. Select Gizmo as Phone Type. (see Picture 2)
7. Verify SIP number by accepting call on Gizmo5 app and input the 2 digit pin from Google.
8. After everything is setup, make sure you login on Gizmo5 desktop application using you SIP 1747XXXXXXX instead of the username. This allows you to make calls through Google Voice.

Now when you dial from Gizmo5 your callers will see your GV number and you can also receive calls via Gizmo5 app.

The Gizmo5 mobile version wasn’t working properly on the N97. I couldn’t login using the SIP number. So far no luck calling out from the N97. Maybe this will work on the N95 or any other S60V3. Let me know if it does.

Nokiamobiletalk.com has posted Skype installer file for the N97 and 5800. However, it will only work on 3 carriar networks. I’ve tried to installing it but I can’t get  passed the login screen. So if you are on any of the 3 network in HK, UK, etc. Let us know if it works.

I can only hope that there will be a full working version available soon.
