Nokia N9 software update v1.1 rolls out
Published by Adam Fraser on November 21, 2011
GLOBAL – This week, the Nokia N9 software update v1.1 has started to make its way to people’s smartphones, bringing new features and improvements. Some of you will have already received this update; others will receive it over the coming days or weeks. Here’s what’s improved in the latest 1.1 update.
The standby screen will show you more of what’s important to you, such as charging and calendar notifications. Music controls have been added to the lock screen, making it easier to control what’s being played without having to navigate to the music player.
For photographers, extra filters have been added and now include: black & white, sepia, vivid, negative and solarize. So now you can be even more creative when trying to capture that perfect shot.
Instant NFC tag reading is now supported, supporting wide range of NFC tags. And Swype keyboard typing is available as part of the software, making messaging even easier. Also, the Twitter application now also supports image sharing.
Other updates also include:
- Chinese language support.
- More powerful multitasking with improved memory handling.
- Faster Mail for Exchange synch, synchronizing only active folders.
- Noise cancellation, reducing background noise so that callers can hear you better.
- Swipe down to close apps easily; now on by default.
- PLUS multiple improvements to the operating system.
If you’ve received the update or are still waiting for it, let us know what new features you’re enjoying or are looking forward to in the comments below.

I hope Twitter Photo Sharing uses Twitter’s official photo service instead of a 3rd party service like TwitPic.

I am a bit confused here about the timeline. I have PR1.1 already since at least two weeks on an unbranded N9?
I believe this is true. Most people won’t have had it yet, though.
Update PR1.1 is great. The small bug I notice is that when music player is running I cannot check the clock on the stand-by screen. There is music player controls instead of clock. It is nice to have both.
The swipe up->down for closing the app is a perfect idea. The GUI navigation experience is amazing. Because of specific of my work I am using Mango, Android, Symbian and MeeGo phones on daily basis. In comparison with others platforms the Swipe navigation is the best ever invention of mobile software engineers I even seen. Great work Nokia.
The clock is still on the standby screen, so before to see the lock screen, you actually see the clock, hence there is no need to see it again in the lock screen if music player is running…

I’m not waiting for update, I’m still waiting for a device! Update is coming out, but Nokia N9 still not arrived in Croatia, despite it’s announced it will be available in mid October. That’s very embarrassing, Nokia.
Ivan, you can get in BiH RS, i got mine here.

Even from these pictures you can see that MeeGo fits better in the phone’s hardware design,better than WP. Round UI components, not square ones.

Swype sideways to get Swype keyboard is a genius idea, never seen anything as slick and easy as that on any phone I’ve used before. Noise cancellation was there even before Pr1.1. Nokia engineers have done an excellent job with this update, well done, N9 is even better to use now. Hoping for timely updates for this great phone.
