@ Meryl
Here are the changes that have been noticed:

  • Nokia start-up screen has been enhanced with a “Connecting People” slogan below the Nokia logo.
  • The phone has lesser memory after start-up but it seems to utilise the memory very well and very little lags and crashes are present.
  • The dial-pad on the home-screen now has letters embedded too.
  • Kinetic Scrolling throughout the phone interface including applications.
  • Updated web browser.
Apart from the main points mentioned above, the firmware update should also bring in various other bug fixes and stability improvements.

Nokia release firmware version 20...it improves touch screen usability, allowing you to scroll smoothly through content by flicking the screen. Ovi Maps 3.1 brings 3-D maps, and improved search. Nokia e-mail (Nokia Messaging), Ovi Contacts, Ovi Store, and VoIP support have been added. This release also includes improvements in memory and battery performance, and in image and video stability.

To get this software through your device, select Applications > SW Updates and choose the software you want to update. Alternatively, this software release is available through the Nokia Software Updater.If you want to upgrade to Nokia N97 2.0 then you have to download the latest Nokia Software Updater version first.
