When consumers purchase Nokia devices, they get more than just the brand and the user friendliness that the company is renowned for. The emphasis on software excellence has always been strong and that’s all the more so now that the company has several product series that are powered by Symbian operating system. As with any robust operating system, be it for desktop computers or mobile devices, software updates are necessary to keep hardware running smoothly and users happy.Nokia has a Nokia Phone Software Updater that you can download and install to keep your mobile phone up to date, purge or fix previous and potential operational problems and maybe, to just keep your mobile firmware trendy and bug-free! It is essentially a Windows based application from Nokia that enables users to update the firmware in their Nokia device from any available Internet access point. The software supports Symbian operating system, Series 40 and series 60 platforms. Designed to be as simple as possible to encourage users to keep their Nokia devices up to date and thereby reaping the most benefits possible, the Nokia Software Updater requires nothing more than common sense and a good mouse finger.
First and foremost, the Nokia Software Updater had to be easy to use because its primary objective, other than keeping Nokia devices up to date, is to debunk the myth of data loss from firmware updating. The scenario most feared by apprehensive users is one of not being able to load back personal data such as contact lists, messages and files into new Nokia devices or into their handsets after a successful firmware upgrade. We did an upgrade of our own and true enough, the entire process completed easily and without a hitch. Data were transferred back as well.

The latest version of the Nokia Software Updater, which is version 01.03.085.28569, is free for all to download. However, as a precautionary measure, users are encouraged to backup their personal data first before proceeding with firmware upgrade.
