Finally we updated our Nokia N97

After eight days since Nokia officialy released the Nokia N97 firmware we were able to update our Nokia N97 RM-505 (Global Edition). We are not sure if other versions like the RM-506 (Asia) and the RM-507 (North America) are able to update but this firmware has been expected very anxiously by Nokia N97 owners around the world. The first thing we noticed after the upgrade, was the disappearance of the email widget, only an empty box was left behind. We had to reconfigure it so that it returns to normal and starts showing our mailbox. While some users have complained that after the update their contacts disappeared from the phone, we did not experience this problem. For now everything seems to be ok. Although in the Nokia N97 firmware change log says that the home screen transitions have been improved, we haven't noticed any difference.
On the other hand the annoying unlock button problem seems to be fixed and the device locks/unlocks without any problems. As far as the poor network reception, we will be testing the Nokia N97 running the new firmware for a couple of days and post our findings but from what we were able to notice in the few brief phone calls it is slightly improved.
