Straight from the horse’s mouth:

Ovi Maps 3.1 brings 3-D maps, more accurate positioning, and improved search. Nokia (NYSE: NOK) e-mail (Nokia Messaging), Ovi Contacts, Ovi Store, and VoIP support have been added. This release also includes improvements in memory and battery performance, and in image and video stability. To get this software through your device, select Applications > SW Updates and choose the software you want to update.
Someone will surely post something today regarding their experiences with the new firmware. This post will be updated throughout the day with those findings.
Updates:
- UK variants appear to not have been updated yet.
- All About Symbian has a really nice changelog on their site.
- “Best ‘secret’ enhancement in N97 v20 is the bump in speaker volume – the device just got a whole lot better for listening to podcasts! 8-)” – @stevelitchfield
A video just came out highlighting the kinetic scrolling. Hat tip to @Jussipekka:
I hope that didn’t cost a lot of money.
