Nokia have just released the latest firmware upgrade for us Nokia N97 users – we’ve all been waiting for this!
Update Tips:
- The update is showing about 142mb for me so be sure to have a fast and secure connection before updating.
- Always backup your important data before a firmware update.
- I (actually EverythingBlaxx) recommend hard resetting your N97 before this update just to start fresh. Be sure to backup your important data like contacts, messages, & bookmarks before the hard reset. Follow the tutorial by EverythingBlaxx to learn how to hard reset the N97.
- Do not bump the cable or disconnect your N97 until the firmware is completely installed.
- Be sure to use a full battery.
What will you get:
- The entire UI is much snappier, bringing it up to power with the E71. Opening system apps is instantaneous.
- The new firmware allows you to put your clock & profile widget anywhere on the screen. You cannot remove it, however.
- This firmware version is only available for unlocked and unbranded devices right now. Branded devices usually take a few weeks to get the new firmware.
I haven’t updated myself, but will do shortly!
Thanks to N97 Fanatics and @Haydndup for keeping us updated on the Nokia N97 mobile!
