Nokia N97 gets a Firmware update to v21.0.045 (and 21.2.045)

 

The Original Nokia N97 has received a Firmware update to version 21.0.045 (and for some product codes version 21.2.045) . Its previous version was v20.2.019.

The N97 does have UDP (User Data Preservation), so while its always a good idea to backup all your data before the firmware update, none of your programs or data should be affected with the update.

Remember you can update using the N97’s OTA (Over-The-Air) feature, or if you prefer you can download Nokia’s Software Updater application to update your N97 on your windows PC. Right now the Update seems to be only available via NSU.

(Note: The Firmware update is only available via NSU right now (not Ovi Suite) and will take a couple days before it gets OTA)

If there’s no new firmware detected for your device yet, it might be because it hasnt reached your region product code yet, or maybe your device is carrier branded. It should roll out to all product codes eventually though.

This Update brings a host of new improvements and fixes like :

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

There’s also apparently a new default theme.

Have you updated your N97 yet ? Notice anything new with the firmware update that we might have missed ? Do let us know in the comments y’all !

    pffft....i dont like nokia...i demand a faster service...this update was officially released a week back, and the n97 is a sad phone...overloaded with features it cant handle...unlike the iphone which is rather good at keeping itself composed...and considering that our n97 is more expensive than the iphone...i dont like nokia nemore! :(
