VF UK Branded N97 gets V.21

5 replies · 2,503 views · Started 29 March 2010

Good news for those of us on Vodafone UK branded versions of the N97 as firmware version V.21 is now available for download (PC only, not OTA).

Usual caveats apply of course.

I think I should say that one additional caveat I will be following is to delete the new Ovi Maps from the system. I can re-install it afterwards. This is to give me enough room on the C: drive to work with and avoid any nasty unpleasantnesses. I won't be going for a full reset otherwise though, unless it is forced upon me.

Hi Again

I have just input product code - 0585262 into nokia updater and its still reporting v20 - I will try again via NSU on PC later.

Thanks

Hi Neil

The upgrade went without a hitch - seems a little more responsive - did not get any space gain on C drive whatsoever - I have not bothered with a hard reset so I probably will not see any gain - I will probably leave (unless really really bored!) for next (if any) major upgrade - It would have been nice to free up some of C drive to allow a little more room for future ovi map installations.

Thanks

I didn't get any space gain either (after I restored maps). But then, I wasn't expecting any. After all, I don't thinka firmware upgrade could increase space (unless it compacted the memory). It merely handles the memory in a better fashion, and so responds faster. Well, that's how I read it anyway.
