Nokia Release Official Flashing Program

Posted on August 22nd, 2006 by Dave.
Categories: Uncategorized.

Nokia have finally released their own software called Nokia Software Update , which will allow users to update their phone’s firmware at home. This is a lot easier than using Phoenix - and I’d imagine a bit safer to use. I’ve not had a chance to use it yet as it says my phone’s software is up-to-date. I’ll be updating my mate’s N80 later so I’ll post the results. It supports oldee phones too (N70, 6680, 6630) so I’ll try with my old 6630 as well.

One down-side I can see to this method is that it will insist on using operator-specific firmware..
