Nokia N97 Firmware 2.0 Video Overview

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.

    any chance that such an update will come to the nokia 5800? with the kinetic scrolling and possibly a homescreen similar to the 5530??

    Since N97 and 5800XM use the same Symbian S60 v5 i think the update also applies for 5800. I am not sure tho.

    Is Nokia N97 mini running the same set of features in its firmware.

  • Arun

    unfortunately, each phone has a different firmware version. so it doesn't apply that way.. :(

    I wouldn't think it was be that automatic. 5800 is already on version 30.0.011 so although it would be easy for them to bring the kinetic scrolling to the 5800 also It would require them the time to package the new firmware up and test it again.

    Yes, the Mini offers even more features and apps.

  • rb

    What about 5800 firmware?

  • 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?

  • 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.

    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.

    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?

  • krisq

    Care for a proof?

  • iownnokia5800

  • nokian97mini

    I think this is still in development because you can test it still on the Nokia RDA website

  • Digital_Hate

    just DL 2.0 went smooth. besides the scrolling have not noticed anything diff. still cant play some sites with flash player

  • maartenj

    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?

  • Rich

    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
