Official N97 Firmware 2.0 Information From Nokia Employee, Available In Coming Weeks
I found some “official” information posted in Nokia’s official forums today about the upcoming N97 2.o firmware. We’ve already gave a hands on preview of the new firmware, but this is something for those who want hard facts and statements straight from the horses mouth. According to the Nokia employee we will see Nokia Email built-in, Ovi Maps 3.1 with 3d view, improved memory and battery performance, etc.
Here are the direct quotes…
Dear updaters
Nokia N97 software update 2.0 will be released in the coming weeks. The software update will make your N97 perform even better, through numerous fixes, improvements, new features and new functions.
What’s new
The software contains many fixes and improvements including:
Improved touch screen scrolling
Ovi Maps 3.1 with 3–D maps
Nokia e-mail, Ovi Contacts, Ovi Store
Improved memory and battery performance
Improved image and video stability
Software availability
As usual, we will publish standard non-customised versions of the software, with country (SIM-free) and operator versions following in the following weeks. The Nokia N97 (and several other devices) can check automatically for new software. Go to Menu > applications > SW Update and enable automatic checking. MyNokia members will also receive an SMS stating “new software is available” as the deployment progresses. To register, go to
www.nokia.com/mynokia.
Warm regards,
The Nokia Software Update team

Very interesting stuff, yet vague. Surely there will be more areas of improvement and some new widgets. Personally I’m extremely happy to see that Nokia Email will be hardwired into the firmware and improved battery performance.
I can’t wait for this update to hit, especially since my N97 has been acting up the past few days. Let’s pray that “coming weeks” means next week rather than the week after.
