The Nokia N97 gets a Firmware Update to v22.0.110

Thanks to MyNokiaBlog, we’ve come to know that the Original Nokia N97 got a firmware update today, to version 22.0.110. It’s previous firmware was v21.0.102.

[Note: The previous v30.0.016 firmware for the Nokia N97 was apparently just a fault with the Nokia Software service and not an actual firmware]

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 downloadNokia’s Software Updater application to update your N97 on your windows PC.

(Note: From what we’ve heard, the Firmware update is only available OTA right now)

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.

No Official Changelog yet. We’ll update this post when we find one.
