Firmware Update for Nokia N86 and N85

Posted on 06. Jul, 2009 by geek in News, Symbian | 3 comments

Today new firmwares for two nokia mobiles (Nokia N86 and N85) has been released. Now the latest firmware version for N86 is v11.043 and the latest version for N85 is v30.019. Both firmware updates are avaiable through FOTA (learn how to update through FOTA) or you can update through Nokia Software Updater.

Before you go for update, backup all your data, although these phones may contain UPD feature (User Data Preservation) [N86 surely have this feature, but it is better to backup first].

There is no official changelog available for both firmwares. However it is revealed by an updater that new firmware for Nokia N86 has got following new features:

- Downloads! replaced by OVI Store
- OVI Store service launcher preloaded in the device and the actual client can be downloaded in the OVI
- Nokia Maps orientation functionality improves usage in landscape

SW improvements and corrections:
- Better imaging experience especially in video mode
- Nokia Maps 3.0.1 replacing Maps 3.0
- Improvements in Browser, Share Online, Camera, SettingsWizard
- Image quality: ‘half’ light pictures improved
- Text is not correctly line on Email corrected
- Launch of installed widgets improved

And we are still waiting for N85 changelog.

Note: The main purpose of all new firmwares is to prevent hacking. So if you want to keep your mobile hacked, hold on until it is confirmed that new firmware is hackable.
