Thanks to S60inside, we’ve gotten to know that the Original Nokia N97 has received a minor Firmware update to version 21.0.102. It’s previous firmware was v21.0.045.

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.

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. We still havent gotten it for our N97 White here in India though.

SW improvements and corrections:

Auto-rotate display set to ON by default.
Mass memory content updates (applies to new production only)
OviSuite 2.0 + OviPlayer installation files preloaded
Preloaded Maps data updated to version #23

New Features :

New version of Ovi Maps (3.03) with free global lifetime navigation
