I mean, can I go to the pub this lunchtime or tonight and not miss it? 😊

My guess is that we'll see it sometime in the next 7 days, probably over the weekend or next Monday.

That's just a guess though.

Get yourself to pub immediately, you can always check AAS from there and rush back if it's released...! 😃

If you think me going to the pub may help with the release of v20... then I'm willing to make that ultimate sacrifice for you guys (and gals). Don't think for one minute I'm going to enjoy myself... 😃

Ha!! thanks for that little bit of recognition, but actually i'm an 18 stone leather clad hells angel called "skull" - i just put that sweet photo up so that when i'm stuck you guys will help me out :tongue:

No pubs here in Saudi, so can't join in that little rota system. Not that I drink anyway. Costa Coffee anyone?

You know, all I want from v20?

No - not kinetic scrolling....

No - not fancy dan operating system.

I just want to ANSWER A CALL without the phone locking up and having to reboot

Cor, I dunno. You are SO fussy... You'll be asking for the moon on a stick next...

Bad news...

For the first time in living memory, the pub is closing the same day it opened.

OK... it's only for an hour because the landlord has had a bereavement in the family and is closing the place to attend the funeral.

I can't blame him... they were married for 35 years.

Not all bad though... he says I can have one while I wait. 😊

Ha !! they know what i want :redface: ...... i soooo understand how Gollum felt !! - i'm even beginning to look a little crazed (but still have all my hair) :tongue:

Mine was doing that last night. reboot of laptop fixed it...

Just another example of some sterling work by nokia, bless their little cotton socks...

@willem hordijk

Yeah, they're on Navi-Firm...

N97 Mini firmware 10.2.20 available for RM 553 & 555

Now, for my stupid stupid question....

Will that work on my normal N97?
even though it'd be mini and possible the wrong RM number ( as mine is 505 )

Is that a small price to pay to have the new firmware early?

Happy birthday N97!

It's 4 months today since the N97 was launched in the UK.

A third of a year later and we're all sat around waiting for the firmware that it should have been launched with.

The forum has gone ominously quiet just recently.

davecozens has either been kidnapped by a Nokia hit squad or is in hiding somewhere up the far reaches of the Orinocco.

angiepea is probably out shopping!

Biggzy, celios, nottmbantam, rdcinhou and quite a few others are probably pouring over the spec's of the latest and up and coming smart phones.

As for me.

Well I'll just keep checking NSU 3 times a day (they've installed open access wifi in the pub for me) and see what v20 (if and when it's released) brings to the N97. I'm not expecting miracles from v20, just what I paid for... a decent, working, touch phone.
It'll be "Last Chance Saloon" time. 😡

In the meantime I'm loading up my N95 8GB... just in case!

Ha!

I'm already back to my N95. Been using it a couple of days now, and it's great. Maybe cos I owned it for so long, I just know where everything is, and how to do exactly what I need - quickly and without fuss - it just works and works well.

Oddly enough, I find I can type texts quicker with the N95! Even more odd - the N95 will now take a 16gb Micro SD card - whereas the allegedly superior N95 8GB has now memory card slot.....

And even odder - I've still got my N97. Will hang on it I think til next year, when v20 finally comes out, and see if it makes a difference.

Odderer still - I too have noticed that the forum is a bit quiet these days. Yes, I know Saudi has now gone 3hrs ahead of the UK, so by lunchtime here, you guys are only just arriving at work !

Right - just about to press the 'Submit Reply' button - lets see if I get moderated, and this post takes a day to appear.....
