N97 Mini - Does nokia have any plans to update??? ...

Question

I have a very simple question.
does nokia still support this phone?
I have always been an avid nokia supporter, but, recently, i have started to question my loyalty.
I, like many thousands of other n97 mini users paid a lot of money for the phone, yet, we seem to be left high and dry... there has been no improvements added for the phone since the last firmware update, no additions.. nada.
are we all expected to keep this phone with the lousy 12.*.* software and get nothing but a slow, almost useless phone?  or are we going to get some kind of update?
or has it gotten to that time when we all say Hi Android?????

Answer 1

If I remember correctly, the last update was supposed to be an "interim" update until the next version/release came out. For what it's worth, since nothing has been forthcoming from Nokia, I've installed N-Desk which installs a much improved desktop application, similar to the I-phone's, and Maze Lock which provides an easier to use locking application. With both of these installed, you have a more consistent, easier to use interface. Enough so my wife has stopped complaining about how long it takes to get something done on the phone.
I still hope Nokia will come out with another release in the near future.
I hope this helps.
