How To Check If The Update Is Available For Your Phone

Jaro 27. August 2007 :: , , ,

People are often wondering when the update will be available for their phone or why it’s not available yet. If your friend’s phone was successfully updated it doesn’t mean that the update is available for your phone too. Software updates depend on various factors such as country, operator (if the phone is branded) and others.

The most straightforward way to check for updates is simply connect your phone to pc and try to update it via software updater. However this might be quite time consuming. Instead I suggest you go to this Nokia page and enter the product code of your phone. You’ll find it under the battery.

There is also a great website (in French) which lists all the latest firmware updates for the Nokia phones. You can even enter your email address to the provided form and you should receive a notification when the update is available for your phone (based only on models, not product codes). However I have never received an email from them.

    I’ve never updated my E50 firmware as I always get scared what if the firmware has virus. Is it safe to update it? Please help.

    Hi Harini,

    no need to be scared of virus. The updated firmware comes straight from Nokia. Check out this guide if you need further assistance with updating.

    I have no concerns about viruses – my concern is updating the software will screw up my personal data / configurations / installations / etc.
    It is written on the Nokia website that you need to backup your personal data before running the updater and then restore them afterwards, and that’s usually very dangerous stuff to do (hardly ever are things the same as before when you do stuff like that).

    —> Has anyone updated the software after extensive use of the phone and found everything was alright afterwards??
    Thanks in advance.

    When some one calls me and I push the call key the phone looks like starting coming up.
    The caller hears the phone is off.
    It is true it is like you have switched on but with no shaking hands.
