Hi !
Thanks for this blog.
I was wondering, will Kinetic Scrolling be available for 5800 XPressMusic one day ? It would be great…

I woulden even try and wait for this update for my danish mobile, as my N5800 got it last update back in Dec, and i had to debrand it cause the mobile companys could care less about consumer well being of phones that dont work with old firmware

So far it pretty ordinary.

Kinetic scrolling is nice, but it’s NOT through everything as promised.

No new home screen widgets as promised.

Barely any more space as promised.

New included ‘free’ Vlingo app – which resides on main memory, can not be removed. One of everyone’s major complaints was the lack of main memory, so Nokia though it’d be a good idea to include more unwanted crap on it for the 2.0 release. Good thinking.

Photo thumbs are now displayed in a way that better utilises the screen real estate, but video thumbnails are still displayed the old way. What’s with the inconsistency?

I haven’t noticed any significant performance increase, but it’s early days.

Well done Nokia – so much hype – so many promises – piss poor result.

This update was make or break for me with the N97, and I have to say it’s pretty disappointing. I’ve given them the benefit of the doubt up until now, so it’s time to sell this P.O.S. and get a real phone.

So long Nokia, you won’t be missed.

i’ve noted a few new icons and application maes (settings wizzard is now called phone setup; msg reader has new icon)

but no new widgets? wasn’t vlingo supposed to be preinstalled on this firmware along with a bunch of new widgets?

hrm – i’m in USA updating from 12.2.024 to 20.2.019

the download went normally, and the install seemed to be fine until i heard the device restart (nokia startup sound played) but the NSU is stuck saying, “Estimated time left: 19 seconds”.

the phone is running, *#0000# reveals that it HAS v20 firmware, but the NSU is stuck. i doubt i’m missing anything, but maybe some post-flight installs are queued up?

anyone else see something similar?

N97 SOFTWARE UPDATE
Not available in India yet

Thanks for the optimism, but it’s actually the first thing I did when I read your post I wouldn’t have commented on this before trying. This said, who knows, it may be that it’ll get released faster than previous updates.

Eric, don’t be so sure. It is usually late for the Indian product codes as well but this time has been an exception. Check to see if you are lucky.

As usual, it’ll be months before it’s available in the UK. Really annoys me to no end…
