I’ve been using this cute little phone for few weeks. As a phone, overall is better than my previous Toshiba G900.  Moreover, i’ve upgraded the N2 OS from version 2.1.552.2 to 2.1.552.5. (* did not notice what is the changes in newest version..)

Anyway, in case u need to replace the 1GB storage to higher capacity, u need to install the OS. Below is the guide of doing a clean installation on new storage card.

Resources needed:

Neonode N2 OS  and manual, where u can download at www.neonode.com.

First, turn off your N2 and connect it to your PC through the USB cable, backup all your files.

*It will act like a removable drive.

Second, run the Nero.exe program. Click “Change”.

Select your desire languages.

Then, click “Advance”. U can see there are 2 option, “clean installation” and “Format SD”. For upgrade OS only, choose “clean installation”. Whereas for new storage card, click “Format SD”. After formatted SD, u need to run the Nero.exe again for installation.

Once finished copied the files to your N2, your N2 will start installing the OS.
