Nokia N97 Firmware V21 is Now Available
The Nokia N97 firmware V21.0.045 is now available via Nokia Software Updater. It is about 133mb in size, and Australia was one of the first countries to receive the update at 7:00pm. Unfortunately, some UK users reported the update is still not available yet. The v21.0.045 update is a minor update that contains under-the-hood fixes and improvements.
Here is my unofficial changelog:
-Homescreen loads faster
-Auto-rotation is much more snappy
-Overall the device is faster
-Kinetic scrolling has improved in some places but other areas, kinetic scrolling has degraded
-Not much visible improvements in the music app so far as well as the video player
- Photo viewing and flicking through photos is quicker
-No visible changes in the Settings
-Applications in general load quicker
-Web browser loads pages more quicker
Here are some bugs that are still present on the phone:
-Kinetic scrolling has degraded in places like the *Calender app or Settings*
-Music Application still has a bug *Playing a music and sliding out the keyboard then pressing the down button is supposed to turn down the volume but instead it restarts the music, same applies for the up button*
The free Ovi Maps does not come with v21.0.045 so you’ll have to download that via the Software Updater application on your phone. Skype is still not included with the firmware.
