Nokia Software Updater for Windows

Nokia Software Updater

Nokia Software Updater, an online Windows and Mac OS X app released in late 2006. It allows users to update and restore their S40 or S60 cell phone's firmware using their existing WAP and Windows based email clients. Nokia's "Email on Phone" concept has been a huge success. Customers can sync their email on the move and access their email wherever they are. Logging into a Windows-based email client and accessing the Nokia software client will allow you to navigate to the Online section. Here you can select "Download Nokia Software updates" and follow the prompts to complete the synchronization. This service allows the recipient's phone to sync to their email server. It also allows all of the user’s tasks, calendars, and contacts to be synchronized across multiple Windows-based devices.

Nokia Software Updater updates the firmware on Nokia E71 and Nokia E73 phones using the USB connection supplied with the device, or via the Nokia Updater web interface that can be accessed from Nokia's Website. This feature is available on Windows computers with Windows CE, Windows XP, and Vista. After the updater has been installed and downloaded, it updates the firmware of the phone via the Windows Update mechanism. The Nokia Updater web interface allows for easy configuration of the updates that are downloaded to the phone. You can also change the frequency of updates using the Web Management Panel. Users must ensure that there is enough space on their local network to allow updates to be done without the device hanging. This should not stop users from accessing the Nokia Software Updater app from remote locations, as long as they have access via a web browser to their computer, such as at home or at work.

Nokia E71 users can use the Windows Update app to download and install Nokia Software Updater on their computers. After the Nokia Updater has been installed successfully, it is necessary to set the updater to only run on the primary user's device and to allow it to scan all flash mode and memory cards for updates. You can also enable automatic updates according to the user's preference by clicking on the advanced tab and changing the start-up schedule. The Nokia E71 updater's main window will display a list all current devices. It can be accessed easily to update the phone.
