Nokia N900 Firmware 1.2009.44.1 (PR1.0.1) available
Posted in Firmware, Firmware update, N900, Nokia
The Nokia N900 has been finally updated to 1.2009.44.1. v44.1 is just a minor update and I haven’t noticed any big changes by now. It contains mostly small adjustments invisible to user preparing for next update. The update can be downloaded either via the Nokia Software Updater or straight from the application manager. Unfortunately, the N900 doesn’t support UDP (User Data Preservation) so that all your applications, e-mail accounts, custom background and your homescreen will be wiped out when you update it with the NSU. However, if you update it using the application manager none of your data will be deleted.
Changes from 1.2009.42.11 to 1.2009.44.1:
- The application manager has been redesigned and looks more appealing.
- Red Pill mode is gone
- Ovi catalogue has been added
- After an application is installed the application manager will not jump at the top

I updated my N900’s firmware using App manager on N900. Update was somewhere 20MB and it didn’t wipe anything from my phone. It recommended backup before update and required full battery.
Really?
I’m guessing it will have support for 3 SIM cards (not tested yet, though). Will be awesome having a phone actually accepting my SIM card.
I can confirm it preserves user data when installed via the App Manager. On second reboot it asked me for data information, though, but programs seem to be preserved.
Also it does not support 3 SIM cards (3 as in the company, not as in the number).
[...] my email accounts, access points, homescreen widgets, applications were not preserved. According to MaemoWorld, if you update it using the application manager all your data will be [...]
Done the update here as well (using the phone itself), can confirm everything seems to be working correctly after the update.
