n97

File this post very carefully in the “Possible BS Box”.  I really mean it.

There will always be rumours about when firmware is likely to be released, and Nokia is renowned for delaying just about everything they ever do.

However, xbungle over at the Nokia Support Forums is apparently an official Nokia person, and has the little ‘Employee’ tab next to his name, to mean he may or may not be an up-standing member of society.



Xbungle states in this post HERE, that the next version of firmware for the dreaded Nokia N97 is due out in mid-december.

Now I know for some of you, it was only a couple of days ago that you were finally allowed to download V20 for your £600 machines, and news of the next update will only fill you with anger that you will have to wait for another apparent Ice Age to melt before you will be allowed the next one.

However, if this rumour (and I would urge again that this is by no way confirmed) is true, then at least Nokia are still trying to do something for all the poor N97 owners out there that though V20 was going to be their saving grace.  We all know it wasn’t.  It made the N97 a smidgen better, but not enough.

Sit tight, you may be in for another long wait.
