14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia has already released the next major software update for the N9, MeeGo PR1.3. Lots of N9 owners have already upgraded to the latest version of MeeGo, but there are still people who are waiting for the update.
Vodafone Australia is one of the few carriers who added the Nokia N9 to its portfolio, though the Finnish company did not release the smartphone in all regions.
Today, the carrier has announced the immediate availability of the PR1.3 update for Nokia N9. According to Vodafone Australia, this update is only available via FOTA (firmware over the air).
Keep in mind that this update is not free rated, which means that customers will have data deducted from their monthly data inclusion.
Those who do not have a data bundle or enough data left for the download will be charged out-of-bundle rates. We recommend downloading this update over a Wi-Fi network in order to avoid extra charges.
In this regard, it is also worth mentioning that the update is about 300MB in size, so make sure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection.
