  • N97 in 1st months aftter launch got crappy firmware and lacked app so its only strenght was really ergonomic \keyboard and design, but nowdays its no mroe true. Nokia made AWESOME improvements to this phone and its one of best on market nowdays, unmatched keyboard ergonomy, system which no one would guess is run on symbian and ngage support. Check for yourself

  • @tyr8338 And where can I find that man, I realy need update my n97, im sick of the same version :S

  • @DareKGenesis try visiting nokia beta labs, use updater from nokia site and check if your service provider uses latest firmware, try things like n-desk or spb mobile shell . If your phone is slow just do hard reset, delete all apps you dont need that instal on phone main memory and set default install dir to mass memory and not phone memory.

  • @DareKGenesis I`ve used my n97 mini with opera and it wasnt running out of memory even with few tabs open in browser unless they were flash heavy - performance with things like 3d photo browser from beta labs was awesome too, even hundreads of photos didnt make it slow down, running browser, some, media gallery in background and some other things wasnt problem either. Just make sure you dont put some bugged widgets on main screen. If you keep phone memory disk free phone will be really smooth.

  • TRASH

    All nokia phones are trash! The symbianOS sucks from it's first day, till now.

    I really can't understand why people spend hundreds of cash for trash

  • Great bit of kit - just make sure to UPDATE IT! makes lot of difference. One of the things i really like is the great 5mp camera and video - very good! Another app I like is the transmitter that enables me to play my music from the N97 through my car radio - Great!

  • @timmiep87

    If you have the software installed on your computer connect to you computer and with the software select update.

    it will gather the update for you

  • the difference of the two is just the case... it's a matter of style if you're the nice light free spirited type of person... or serious, and loves black.

  • yes...

  • just updated my nokia n97 in white using the nokia software update.

    i recived a text from my nokia saying that the update is ready to be istalled.

    i'm in the uk and got the update, my network is on orange! and i got it so.. might be out for every one

    worth a try to see if you can get the update.

  • yea, seems that they are released the update all around the world, i update mine, is a Black Edition...

  • i wish they have this on the nokia 5800

  • Also debranding removes all the network features and identification, also you can have language packs that are tailored to your chosen languages so it actually opens your phone up a lot more and you may find features that the networks hid at the time.

    This will not unlock your phone at all, but will enhance it.

  • im missing the new widgets. Where r they did u guys get em

  • Comment removed

  • I have it lol

    it's so cool :D

  • im ready to update but im afraid could the nsu brick n97

  • hey im from British Columbia Canada, i tried the PC suite, Ovi suite, and the NSU, it keeps saying that my update is up to date and im running v12. Is it out in BC yet?

  • its out now, i finally updated to v20 (Canada)

  • Actually Apple Is A Nokia Wannabe That's Why They Are About To Get Sued.

  • @07liberian who's gonna sue who?

  • hi im in england! i need the update were can i get it from? my phone always crahses. i used the Nokia Software Updater and it dont show v20 redy for update! help!!

    thanks :)

  • mine say the same, no update available... N97 Black Edition...

  • you can get it from the site..download the SW updater from the nokia site..then follow the instructions..thats it..i just upgraded mine..and its working just fine..

  • i do that but tells me your phone is already up to date, no update is available...i have the black one...

  • Most networks take their time rolling out their updates so that they put in their own content and apps to be installed into your nokia phone and lock others away..

    The only way to get the original update from nokia is to debrand your phone, which is easy to do but can invalidate your warranty if problems occur.

    Debranding is easy all you need is to download Nemesis Service Suite. I did this with my N95 8GB and not only did it work first time, made the phone faster but perform better.

  • Comment removed

  • that is what i doo, read carefully the msg and then reply...

  • Die ganze Welt wartet auf Nokia ! IHR FINNEN; MACHT HIN !

  • how can I open .exe files with a n97? my phone doesn't recognize it. is there some app for it? or is it impossible...

  • lol. *.exe files is not for nokia systems, you should search for *.sis, *.jar, *.jad, *.sisx, *.gw or similar, otherwise *.exe is possible to use with nokia true dosbax PC emulator.

  • this updates already in nokia 97 mini ... So i think when the N97 mini will be in markets i think the updates will be available on the internet to upgrade your N97 software ...i hope this firmware to be stable ...

  • when can we get this upgrade?

  • the n97 is really laggy i hope this update fixes it

  • I have received SMS from mynokia about new update but when I want to check for updates by NSU it says that there is no updates. When it will be out?

  • fuck it when will this phone come out, i cancelled all my ebay n97 bidding to wait for this phone

  • Erm... it is out. It's called... the N97.

    Did you miss the bit where it said this??

  • is he holding the same n97, the difference is the right one only installed the firmware 2.0

  • no need to worry guys. Nokia is going for an worldwide release of this update..

    try to search the internet for some information.

  • when i try to update my n97 it says that V 11.0.021 is the most current version why is this?

  • its coming out mid october, not long to wait now.

  • thought i was the only one dont worry now you not alone i dont no why either but i need this update

  • Hello when this version will be released? let me know, if not I am going to break my n97 = (

    thanks

  • I want a Maemo-like theme for my N97 please Nokia!

  • Is it out yet ?

  • ai spiik guut inglish

  • I would like for Nokia to removed the scroll bars once they have incorporate the kenetic features or N97

  • I second this!!Come on guys!

  • cant wait!!! 4 more days!

  • Will they add smooth rotation theme effect also? Because if you have to turn on the theme effect in order to activate the kinetic scrolling, and the rotation (fade out and fade in) is still the same, the slow speed of rotation will continue to annoy you. I always turn the theme effect off because of that reason, too.

  • Guys a stupid question?! :)

    What is the difference between the firmwares ?! :) What is a firmware?! :)

    And i'm looking forward to buy the n97 in the late October.

    So can i update the firmware so i can actually scroll or the scrolling n97 is a new edition coming out?

  • firmware is the software that tells the hardware (the phone) what to do and how to act. It's basically the base programming that controls everything. Updating firmware can fix bugs and add new features. On the N97, you can update it either from the phone itself via the SW application or connect it to a PC and use the software suite that comes with it.

  • inmedx Thank you very much for the simple and still very useful explanation! I appreciate it ! :)

  • No problem :)

  • i cant...for some reason

  • You can't find the SW application? Its in the "applications" menu for me. If you can't use that/find it then use the Ovi software suite that came on the CD with the phone. That can update the firmware just as easily.

  • No, i can find it but i cant update. I downloaded the rest, ngage, ovi contacts, bla bla. But the phone update starts "processing" and then just stops. Ive downloaded the "software update" program on my computer, but it doesnt see the phone. Neither does the pc suite that i got with the phone. Or the pc suite from nokia beta labs. It doesnt see it in pc suite mode at all. I can work in mass storage just fine

  • Did you fix the sucky GPS???

  • I don't have the software update app on my phone =[

  • hmmm. . watch the video on where is the software update located. Otherwise, just use your PC suite to update your phone.

    IM SO EXCITED for the release of this firmware. Nice upgrade

  • Yeh, It's not on my phone. I have to use Ovi Suite.

    Plus I don't even get the current firmware =[ (1.2)

  • He is Finnish, like me :)

  • when will this update be released?

  • this is definetely no german accent ;-)

  • is n97 2 thesame with n97 mini?

  • Comment removed

  • When in the hell are they going to release the Skype client for this damn phone! That' is one reason I bought it in the first place. It seems like it's for only a couple of European carriers. But what about us unlocked folks?

  • ok i got confused...

    are they DIFFERENT N97 hansets?

    OR

    just FIRMWARE updated?

    im just about to get mine soon but i dont wanna buy a crap one

    and which one is better for gaming?N97?orN95?graphics wise and stuff

    thanks

  • its just a firmware update bro. You could update your firmware via PC suite or in the phone itself.

    The catch is there are rumors that this new firmware is not available in all areas. Thats why you need to unbrand your phone. :)

  • forget about n95

  • Yes my nokia man said something like that nokia n97-2 has no optic cover, it's a slim version and it has no d-pad on the left of the keyboard, this firmware is for the n97 in general the capacities are the same so the guy in the video with numbers 1 and 2 just separates the phones, anyway the slim version is not released yet at least to my country but even if it does i still prefer d-pad and lens cover even if the phone is bigger don't care i love that phone i sold my iphone 3g to get it!

  • i have a maybe stupid question to make please answer : i was a little confused when the guy said n97-1 and n97-2 i just bought a n97 made in Finland and back in the box it says "Nokia N97-1" what's that ??? i bought the old model or what ? what;s the difference? anyone know ???

  • i mean is it possible to refer to the firmware in the box ? or it's a model difference like rm-505 etc.. ?

  • lmao the guy just explained the difference ...n97-1 doesnt have the scrolling feature tht the n97-2 has ...

  • I dont have one but I think its like this: there is n97 and n97 slim; They are two different phones. Then there is two different firmwares. I think any n97 and n97 slim can use this new firmware.

  • the difference is the firmware in the phones. What he meant by N97-1 is like a SAMPLE-1 and N97-2 is like a SAMPLE-2. They have different software on it but same type of N97.

  • iphone

  • I got a question if anyone can answer....Is this phone worth it? i mean whats so special about this Phone. I didn't see anything in the general details that made it worth the price. Anything i'm missing?

  • NO!....

  • lol thanks...but care to explain???

  • Nokia u should make kinetic scrolling on N97 before releasing it on markets hu? i cant beleive the developers. iam 28 years old contractor and before starting a poject me and my team come together and make brain storming about "how to develop BEST". DOnt the Nokia guys dont know meaning of BRAIN STORMING?

  • why...no version for m'sian...huhuhu..im so sad...nokia,pls give malaysian this new version....

  • i hope gps fix with these new firmware

  • the software update is great!! they always improve the performance of N97 every firmware update.

    I just hope that the expected release date will be accurate so that N97 users can feel the satisfaction that nokia is trying to give

  • stfu noone like u

  • The thing is... V20 is for N97 mini and N97 mini doesn't have a D-pad. So can this firmware be used on N97-1?

  • The day I watched the N97 pre launch video. I saw the nice visual qwerty on screen keyboard, showed you how fast you could txtd without opening the device....

    I purchased mine and Nokia had stolen the virtual keyboard back. 8-(

    Without telling us?

    In all the years of owing a mobile, I have never seen anyone advertising a product, then remove part of the OS.

    Well done Nokia 10/10 for pure cheek!

    Come on Nokia blow our mind with the next firmware update!

    I Dare You!

    Soon Please!
