Just a bit of info for new N97 owners like myself.
I took delivery of a brand new N97 yesterday and debranded and updated it.
I'm on Three Uk and decided to order via the internet to be safe as the DSR apply (Distance Selling Rugulations)
Having bricked an N86 the day before i was understandably nervous.
So here is what i did to be extra safe.
Uninstalled Nokia PC Suite, and then ran pc suite cleaner
available from Nokia
Restarted computer.
Once restarted plugged in phone for it to get the N97 drivers.
Restarted computer.
Then downloaded and installed pc suite.
Restarted computer.
Installed Nemesis.
Restarted computer.
Plugged N97 in and changed product code . (chose a Euro one)
Restarted computer AND phone.
Plugged phone in and started pc suite.
Had to install pc suite support onto phone.
Restarted computer
Ran pc suite selected update phone, and all went okay.
didn't need a hard reset but did one anyway to clean everything up.
Left with a N97 debranded and running V2 software and with 60mb free on C drive.
I know it might seem a long winded way to do it, but having had pc's for years where you always had to restart in between updating programs, i decided to do it that way and be safe.
