Rafe demonstrates in illustrated detail how to use Nokia's new Phone Software Update tool to upgrade your S60 smartphone with the very latest firmware version.

Read on in the full article.

Is the phone software update capable of updating nokia phones not from UK? I have an old 6630 phone from Japan (Vodafone network). Just asking.

Be warned! this software bricked my Nokia 6680 😡

Followed all of the instructions ran the update and everything seemed to be fine. The progress bar got to 100% and after a slight pause an error message displayed saying "sorry the update has failed".

So now Im left with an expensive torch as when you try and turn the phone on now the screen just lights up and doesnt do anything else!
