The update fixes a number of bugs on the N97 including widget issues and adds a newer version of Accueweather. All About Symbian members are commenting as they try out the new firmware on their Nokia N97 and so far it looks as though the firmware is not available to UK owners that have a ’sim free’ version of the phone.
