Nokia N97 FW v12.0.024
Change Log Is Finally In Da House!

After a bit of nervous searching and waiting in the dark, I finally managed to get the full Nokia service bulletin with detailed change log from my "trusted mole" penetrated deeply into Nokia software labs.

So just in case you are still in doubt is it really worth a try to download the latest update for the Nokia N97 or not, here is one of the shortest change logs that I have ever seen which will make your choice much easier.

The change log itself is pretty disappointing and the latest software release brings nothing new unfortunately.

Firmware version 12.x.xx is obviously released just to fix some minor issues discovered since the last update and to bring an updated version of OVI Store application but at least phone remains hackable which makes Nokia N97 truly open to anything.

Anyway, here is the full change log, a bit changed to protect my source and few lines that are totally irrelevant for end users have been removed.

Following cases have been corrected and/or improved

• Fix for browser cache consuming more than specified in C drive
• Battery indictor showing wrong status (23bars) when charging completes
• Firmware over the air (OTA) setting correction
• User interaction to device while OTA may cause need for user to power on/off
• Fix for calendar entry lost
• Fix for mail that may get duplicated
• Fix to resolve GPRS access point selection even if WLAN access point is available
• Fix to not to ask user to do new profile while there is already one available
• Fix to display messaging application correctly when theme effect is set to ON
• Fix for Ovi Store client may not properly installed if user has a client already installed earlier version

Applications changes

• Ovi store application is now updated
