Nokia N900 Firmware v1.2009.42.11 Update The Nokia N900 has received the first public update taking the device to firmware version v1.2009.42.11. Now, this may seem odd for a handset that isn’t even in stores yet but the update effects those devices sent out early. Find out more about the Nokia N900 Firmware v1.2009.42.11 update after the jump…

The Nokia N900 is a 3.5-inch smartphone with touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard that uses the Maemo 5 operating system, the first such Nokia device to use this version of the OS.

The Nokia N900 Firmware v1.2009.42.11 update apparently weighs in at a whopping 165MB and is only available via Nokia Software Updater (NSU), which in our mind is the only way to share updates of this size.

The guys over at nokiaexperts who already have a sample Nokia N900 have pointed out that future updates should at least offer the option of Over The Air (OTA) updates. As for the Nokia N900 Firmware v1.2009.42.11 update itself, it seems that after a slight rocky start the update has improved the stability of the device, as well as helped add longer battery life to the system.

To carry out the update, you’ll need to sync your Nokia N900 and check the Nokia Software Updater to see if your factory release is covered by the update. Before carrying out any update it’s worth making a backup of your Nokia N900, just to be on the safe side.

    Does anyone know if this is the fabled update that adds support for “new” 3 sims?

    Does the n900 come with internet radio and did they fix the mms in the phone?

    IMHO you got your message wrong: this is not the first firmware update, but the initial product release version, e.g. this is the version that will ship with the retail device, PR1.0
    The only people who have to update are those who got internal or Amsterdam Summit prototypes.

    End users will most probably never need to update their firmware in this way, they will receive OTA (Over-the-air) updates.

    on this website it says (http://maemo.nokia.com/features/)

    Seamless software updates

    Get the latest software and applications with over-the-air Maemo updates. All updates are done automatically and there’s no need to connect any wires.

    no need to connect any wires? im pretty sure NSU requires a wire, am i right? lol
