Today, the v11.0.021 update for the UK variant of the sim free N97 has finally gone live. For those who were considering switching to the Euro product codes, you no longer need to do so. I have a Black UK handset on product code 0585162 which updated successfully.
Your methods for updating are as follows…
Using Over The Air update: on your phone go into Applications > SW Update. The SW Update application will check for an update, if one is available you will be asked if you want to update. As always, ensure your phone is fully charged and that you carry out a backup of essential data.
Ovi Suite: If you have Nokia’s beta version of the Ovi Suite installed on your PC, after connecting the N97, you can go to Tools > Software Updates. This will check for available updates which you can install from here also by clicking on update and following the instructions in the program.
Nokia Software Updater: Much like the update tool built into the Ovi suite and available with previous versions of Nokia’s PC Suite, this is also a PC based app but dedicated to updating your device.
