Nokia N97 Firmware 2.0 Video Overview

September 3rd, 2009 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •

I asked a Nokia spokesperson at Nokia World to show me the new firmware 2.0 on the Nokia N97. It will feature usability enhancement, additional widgets, updated Facebook app, increased free internal memory, as well as stability improvements. The firmware is going to be available in Software Update this October.

You can also watch this video in HD on Youtube.

I think kinetic scrolling is a nice addition. It will be available anywhere a list applies like the music player, photos, and the applications menu. I did not get a chance to look at the updated Facebook app yet, but I’ll try to get a demo soon.

The increase in available internal space will make many users happy who prefer to install apps there.

It looks like Nokia listened to its users with this update and I can’t wait to install it on my Nokia N97.

    I purchased a NokiaN97 about three months ago. The device will not power up after long periods of inactivity(between 1hr to 6hr).The device powers it self off after being on for a few minutes. The device take a long period to start charging. I have sent the device back to Nokia Repairs in Alabama for repairs on two occasions but these problems still exist

    Hey, your runescape gold posts have inspired me! - I love the way you directly get to the point, and then work out- wards. I’ve been trying to do figure out what I want to say about ,that would allow me to do exactly the same thing.

    grrrrr. I tried to download it with using PC Suite and on the N97 using update. In both cases it didn't give me an update.
    On the Nokiasite it says v2 is available.
    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi,
    Is anybody noticed about the bug in N97: sometime, when trying to change the profile by using the touchscreen, the profile name is not updated on the screen but updated in the phone and it confuses. Do you know if it the hardware bug or software? or may be both?
  • Chester
    i don't see this bug with my N97 black.
  • Andrew
    I like how they now show cover art on the album playlist in this new firmware....

    I can't say that this has really blown me away much. The last firmware upgrade certainly improved the navigation speed of my N97 but I was so hoping for the Skype app. I guess I'll keep using Nimbuzz.
  • coopere
    looks good. now it makes the n97 look like a flagship device.

    but do you guys think maybe in a future update they include multiple desktops like the n900? i doubt it but we can all dream right.
  • jeemeekay
    Nice to see kinetic scrolling introduced to the nokia n97. I would also like to find out, the much promised skype integration and SIP functionality (that was taken out of the n-series), does that now come with the new firmware?
  • rb
    What about 5800 firmware?
  • symbian
    Is Nokia N97 mini running the same set of features in its firmware.
  • Yes, the Mini offers even more features and apps.
