Firmware update: Nokia N85 20.175

Nokia has made new firmware available for the N85. In addition to the usual bug fixes, Nokia usually adds new features. Unfortunately, the added features in this firmware are minimal. Of course it is always recommended to provide your device with an update, even if it unfortunately does not add much in this case.

In addition to the option to have the device equipped with the latest firmware at Nokia Service Point, it is also possible to have a device equipped with the Nokia Software Updater home with this firmware. It is possible that the mobile has not yet been approved by the supplier for this update. If this is the case, we recommend that you contact the relevant supplier or visit a Nokia Service Point.

Before providing a device with this update, it is advisable to make a backup of the data. This is possible by means of the backup function in PC Suite, or by making a complete backup to the memory card in the device.
