Dear updaters

Nokia N97 software update 2.1

The Nokia N97 software update release 2.1 will be available through the Nokia Software Updater on Monday 1 February. The software version number will be 21.0.045 (RM-505) or 21.2.045 (RM-507) depending on your region, and should be available by 08:00 GMT. The release for N97 China 2G (RM-506) will follow shortly. This 2.1 release offers additional improvements to the 2.0 release made last year.

Software availability

As usual, we will published standard non-customised versions of the software, with country (SIM-free) and operator versions following over the next few days and 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 Menu > Applications > My Nokia > Sign up or visit www.nokia.com/mynokia.

Using your PC to update

Initially, this software update is only available through the Nokia Software Updater. Due to wealth of new content available in this release, the over-the-air "FOTA" packages are larger than normal (around 17MB) and to allow for sufficient testing, delivery will be slightly delayed.

Backups before updating your Nokia N97 are not essential, but to help you get the most from your new software, we recommend that you sync your device or make a backup excluding settings before updating. After the update, reset your device by keying *#7370# and enter your lock code (default = 12345). Then you can resync your device and restore your backup. Finally, visit Ovi Store to download the latest versions of your favourite applications.

What's new

The software contains many fixes and improvements on the earlier releases including:

  • Improved call reliability<
  • Smooth touch screen scrolling
  • Browser improvements
  • Music player improvements
  • Improved image and video stability

Warm regards, The Nokia Software Update team

why?
I'm still stuck at v.12. I understand the de-branding story but what I don't get is WHY? I mean aren't all the N97's identical, hardware and software wise? Why aren't the updates available to all at the same time? What does the update of my device have to do with my carrier or the continent I'm on? Why would I loose my warranty if I change my product code?

WHYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!

Can anyone answer me?

My N97 is from Germany, I'm currently in Romania.

help...

just installed
ok well i just put this update on my phone and first thoughts are that the scrolling is a lot better and the phone as a whole seems to run smooth. the only thing i have spotted is the facebook app doesnt seem to let me log in i get an error message saying,
"an unrecoverable error occurred. it might help to reboot your device.".
unfortunately a reboot does not fix this problem

@arvindev: You may need to do a hard reset
Firmware updates can lock up phone in a small number of cases. This can usually be rectified by a hard reset. Please see the linked thread:

You will need to do Option 3. Hard reset for non-responsive phones

I am a short girl, and I am afraid of wearing replica day date watches seeing as long seeing as the summer comes. I am not confident at all because of my short legs. Later I find that actually short girls could also wear swiss replica watches at any time seeing as long seeing as they know the skills to complement their clothes, what’s more, they could also appear taller by proper matching ways.Franck Muller replica watches

Finally, I can’t resist a bag with feet, even if that bag handbags wholesale is almost as big as I am. Buy through Zappos for $1,899.I love tiny, sophisticated bags that cheap designer bags make a statement.

That ischeap designer handbags why I was so excited when I saw the Alexander McQueen Clover Chanel handbags Medium Satchel.

I like the brazenness of the patent leather combined with discounted handbags the simple clover design, and I’m a big cheap handbags fan of the huge golden plate in the center. Some may authentic handbags think it obnoxious, but I think it makes the bag a little more alluring, mostly because your designer handbags eye is just drawn to that bright spot. This McQueen works that plate much better than the Alexander McQueen Clover Hobo that we reviewed in May.

Specialists argue that home loans help a lot of people to live their own way, just because they can feel free to buy necessary things. Moreover, banks offer collateral loan for different classes of people.
