Dear updaters

Nokia N97 software update 2.0

Nokia N97 software update 2.0 will be released in the coming weeks. The software update will make your N97 perform even better, through numerous fixes, improvements, new features and new functions.

What's new

The software contains many fixes and improvements including:

• Improved touch screen scrolling
• Ovi Maps 3.1 with 3–D maps
• Nokia e-mail, Ovi Contacts, Ovi Store
• Improved memory and battery performance
• Improved image and video stability

Software availability

As usual, we will publish standard non-customised versions of the software, with country (SIM-free) and operator versions following in the following weeks. The Nokia N97 (and several other devices) can check automatically for new software. Go to Menu > Applications > SW Update and enable automatic checking. MyNokia members will also receive an SMS stating "new software is available" as the deployment progresses. To register, go to www.nokia.com/mynokia.

Warm regards,

The Nokia Software Update team

Thank you for the information.

Could you please tell us, what is the misterious difference beween

• standard non-customised versions of the software (0580748: RM-505_EMEA_Swiss_QW White)
• country (SIM-free) (My own 0587861: N97 Switzerland (CH) CV W) ?

I am using a N97 with the product code 0587861: N97 Switzerland (CH) CV W and I am still on 11 because no 12 update is out for my product code. Shall I expect 2.0 in this year or I have to wait until August 2010?

Thanks in advace.

a few minutes ago I've checked that new NSU version was available and I've just installed....I was excited because of that (I thought I could finally get the 2.0 update) but nothing happens...now, reading this post I know we should keep waiting for...

Ok Nokia People, I hope this loooong wait is for great improvements!

[ZaZu90]

Ahh...Finally =\

[smartamrit]

what was the ver number

[loriot]

Thank you!

It's good (for us, users, and for Nokia) to read from Nokia instead of reading a lot of rumours.

So stay close, please.

I really hope they fixed the unlock slider BUG cause it's absolutely  ridiculous (for a 600 $ mobile phone)that you have to press 3, 4 times the slider to get the phone unlocked...

[carlsilvers]

Can you define "coming weeks"?

[freemz]

Can you please confirm if any of these improvements will also be coming to the 5800XM or any other 5th edition phone?

[britzinelul24]

Thanks'a lot for the intervention.Anyway couple "Nokia N97 software update 2.0 will be released in the coming weeks" not sound sow well but we will waiting, there is no other rhing we can do insted of waiting....and waiting....and waiting

[froschy]

Firstly to xbungle - Thank you for the update, Nokia should be out in the public domain doing more of this rather than letting rumours and speculation  be the only information available. I thought this would have been obvious good Public Relations management.

Secondly - As has been said in other posts, the FW update will be coming soon so be patient. It will be much better to have a quality checked update rather than get another buggy FW release rushed to market like the phone was.

" In the coming weeks....."

Next year sometime then?

My N97 cannot even handle a small number of phone calls every day without locking up, and I'm waiting desperately for the new v2 to come round. I thought I'd wait for v2, see if it's improves the phone. If it does, I'd hang onto it, if not, then I'd sell it.

Looks like it's going up for sale then. No more Nokia's for me, the support ( or lack of ) has been garbage for such an expensive phone. Seemingly plenty of support going into making sure the N97 Mini and N900 are working well, but not so the N97?

It really is a joke. 

[vrashkov]

freemz, it has been stated that N97 and several other devices will get the firmware. That said, 5800 is eventually coming next. hopefullyThanks Nokia for hearing from you. better this happening more often cheers.

[mattseymour]

I could not agree more. The whole N97 experience has been an absolute joke. The handset should never, and i repeat never, have been released to the public, many of whom have spent in the region of £500, for the privilige.of owning an inferior handset, that does not in any way resemble, the product, advertised by Nokia. I know that i feel, that i have been used as a "Beta" tester, and would never have gone near this handset, had i known the N900 was waiting in the wings.

Nokia, know that there are serious issues with the N97, and many disgruntled, and clearly unhappy owners.

Although, i am no way, doubting the existence of V.20, it is simply either ready,or it is not.

For Nokia, to be totally non-committal on it's release schedule, is quite simply unacceptable.

I think that this software, is not ready, but has beeen used as "Bait" to placate N97 owners from attempting refunds etc,as it promises to eradicate, many of the bugs and issues existent, and this so called "Flagship" device.

I will never buy another Nokia handset again.

"in the following weeks" what is that mean :-?

[paliometoxo]

is there a list somewhere witht he full bug fixes and new fatures that v20 will bring? for example will it fix the problem where people call you and it plays the nokia song even if you have something else set for a ringtone?

and does it play mp4 better?

Btw, have you tried the "slider" on your screen when you get an incoming call.? On the touch, slide your finger along the "arrow" to answer the call. Just a first gut feeling based on your comment...?

[nan4k7]

Great news reading some official info but it would be great to have a more precise date... I'm checking for new versions almost every hour...

[Thiefyo]

  jauhis or xbungle can you find out if or you assume the version 2.0 is exclusive for n97  or it is for all 60v5 phone as they said in the video we are a lot of 60v5 users that really want to know . I dont think it is so hard to say yes or no.. or at least give as a bit to hope Thx.
