Vodafone UK branded handset owners had to use Nokia's OVI Suite 2 BETA as this was the only method available. NSU and OVI Suite 2 BETA showed that v12 was available, but would not download it providing a failure message. The less than 24 hours later NSU and OVI Suite 2 BETA then said that v11 was the latest version available. The we started receiving e-mails and sms messages from Nokia's automated system saying that v12 was available. The FOTA update required the user to install a small fix via SW Update on their N97s, which was not made available to the Vodafone Branded N97 product codes, therefor FOTA was not an option. I did then notice a day or so later, although NSU still stated that v11 was the latest version available for Vodafone Branded N97s, Nokia's OVI Suite 2 BETA advised that v12 was available and installed v12. What a farse. Not all N97 got the option to FOTA v12.0.026. Vodafone UK branded handset owners had to use Nokia’s OVI Suite 2 BETA as this was the only method available.
