Nokia N97 owners have been patiently waiting for an update of the firmware for a long time, but they don’t need to wait anymore because v20 has been released.

The v20 of the firmware for Nokia N97 has some notable improvements, such as: better touch screen usability; inclusion of Ovi Maps 3.1 with 3D maps; Nokia Email; improved battery performance and video stability; and VoIP support among other details.

To get the update just launch the Nokia Software updater, or you can also download it via this link.

Intel have issued Moblin v2.0 beta for netbooks and nettops, which is the newest version of the company’s open-source OS for Atom-based devices.  Mobile v2.0 has a new, visually-enhanced GUI, the “m_zone” homescreen, integrated Twitter and Last.fm widgets, and a new incorporated browser based on Mozilla’s engine. There’s also a new media player, with support for UPnP streaming and USB devices, a new connection manager with GUI, and the prediction of further social networking integration.

The free download is a 321MB that apparently only supports wired networking at present, not WiFi, though it’s vague if this is only on certain systems or all hardware. Mobile v2.0 also seems to be aiming towards netbooks/nettops only, rather than MIDs, which will likely disappointment to ultramobile fans.

For some people who have given up on getting their hands on the Nokia 5800 NAM, here is another chance for you to get one. Despite issues surrounding its availability from recent weeks, the Nokia 5800 NAM is back with updated firmware v20 and returned to the sales floor at the US flagships.

Those who pre-ordered online should be receiving theirs in 1-2 weeks. This time around promises to be more efficient and sweeter so don’t pass up to get your hands on this great device from Nokia.
