Nokia N97 get an official firmware update, piles of fixes ready - read the full textLess than a month has passed since the Nokia N97 hit the shelves and here comes its first official firmware update. Bringing a whole load of bugfixes this new firmware should have a pretty positive impact on user...

 

Will Nokia release a second version of this phone like they did for the N95 but with 256 ram? if they did I would buy it in an instant.

Also, can anyone confirm if the phone is compatible with a bluetooth mouse? (for tv web navigation)

Or you can do it without pc,with FOTA but I don't know how..maybe you should read the manual!

Read on about the "best phone" :)

At the SyScan security conference being held in Singapore this week, Macintosh security expert Charlie Miller has outlined an SMS-based vulnerability in the Apple iPhone that could let attackers listen in on calls, access the GPS unit to locate the phone, execute arbitrary programs, and even let the phone participate in distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks against other Internet sites via the Internet.

@beta release... comon man... atleast nokia do somwthing to fix the bugs without getting you returing to your retailer.. an't u aware of the new iphone HEATING UP issues...

HOW TO UPDATE THE FIRMWARE..
you will have to do it via PC... go to nokia.com, install the software updater from there. Launch it, and it will guide you further.

Not a very lenghty process.

the update firmware is good, smoother and quick than before... the touch effect has improved too..

Why don't you all guys grab an HTC Touch pro 2 and get over with all those bugs? It's an excellent phone, with keyboard, does everything the N97 supposed to do. I got mine, loaded with an 8GB SD card, lots of programs installed, runs like a dream.
