Nokia N97 v2.0 firmware upgrade available!

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!
