Answer:

Typically, it's always recommended to update to the newest firmware versions. The latest software for the N97 is 12.0.024. The phone supports over-the-air software upgrade, so you can download the latest version directly from the device. To do that, select Applications -> Software Update from the menu.

According to Nokia, the new software provides the following: "This software release includes improvements in updating software using your device. Other improvements include an adjustment to the size of the browser cache, to save space. This release also includes an updated Nokia Ovi Store application. Also, Mail for Exchange has updates available from the device's software updates application, and other widgets have updates available through Ovi Store."
