Nokia N97 User

Finally v2.0 has been released and is available for download on nokia software updater or ovi suite. Enjoy!!!

Here is a video preview of the Firmware 2.0 coming in October. Major noticeable change is kinetic scrolling and more widgets. On home screen you can see vlingo widget. Where is skype?

Thanks to thenokiablog.com for this preview from Nokia World 09.

@clintonjeff: Anyone else seeing this in their N97’s App update ? : http://tinyurl.com/mfzfev and http://tinyurl.com/npxxmd

After reading this tweet from @clintonjeff, I checked my SW update and I do see this same “Install Before Phone Software 0.1″. I installed it OTA but I did not see any changes. Based on the description below, I wonder if this is preparing the N97 for a major update soon to come. Check your SW update and see if you have this update as well. Let me know if you know what this is for?

Great news a new N97 firmware v12.2.024 is now available for download. It shows up on your device SW update but it will direct you to use the Nokia Software Updater instead. I don’t know what this update contain except for the brief description below “Improves phone’s performance and brings you the latest features”. Only one way to find out. Report back on your findings. Thanks! Read more…

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.
