Nokia N85 gets Updated to Version 30.019 (from 20.175)
For those of you that own a Nokia N85, you will be able to update your N85 now or in the very near future (carrier/product code pending). We do not have any changelog yet but we will add it when we get our hands on it.
Nokia N86 Firmware is Updated to Version 11.043
Alongside the N85, the new N86 has also received an update. This update brings improvements to the camera, updates between the phone and Ovi Store and also some bug and software changes that will make your overall experience that little bit better. After all, that’s what firmware updates are about!
As always, we recommend that you make backups of your devices and make sure they have lots of fluff surrounding them when updating. You can update the devices over-the-air or you can download Nokia’s software updater.
