Nokia Software Updater: Upgrade Nokia Phone Firmware At Home!

Nokia has released the latest Nokia Software Updater version 1.4.49 that is fully compatible with Windows Vista. (While waiting for the fixes, I almost wanted to install Windows XP…)

For the sake of performance and new software feature, you should upgrade the Nokia phone firmware whenever there is a new release for the phone model.

And with the Nokia Software Updater (a.k.a. NSU), you don’t have to update the firmware at authorised service centre. Indeed, NSU allows Nokia phone users to easily upgrade the phone firmware in a simple click-next-continue graphical user interface, at your own pace!

How difficult is to upgrade Nokia phone firmware with Nokia Software Updater?

Don’t worry, there is no complexity! All you need is a Windows PC (Windows XP/Vista) with broadband Internet connection and USB-2.0 interface port for NSU to function (at optimized state):

Make a backup of phone data (contact, email, SMS, picture, to-do-list, etc):
- To backup to your memory card:
  1. Select Tools > Memory from the main menu
  2. Select Options > Backup phone mem.
- To restore data to phone memory:

Run NSU and follow the instructions. There are only three major steps to go through.

As shown here, I’ve just upgraded the N73 firmware version 4.0812.4.2.1 for my NSeries, which includes Mobile TV application (to use with external SU-33W receiver), Express Mail clients, improved Nokia Maps software and better Java support. (Personally, I notice the battery last longer now, even if I’ve forgotten to properly close the open applications / games).
