You'll need an active internet connection if you're planning to use NSU (and a fast one as well. Last firmware was some 100MB in size...). It downloads the new firmware as step one when the phone is detected and in "update" mode.

When running NSU and detecting the phone the phone is actually switched off so you can of course not use the N95 as a modem while updating firmware.

yes it works, conect n95 to pc and let pc suite run and conect, then goto www.nokia.com/pcsuite to get the latest pc suite, then unplug n95 and instal the new pc suite, reconect fone and goto nokia and download the nokia software updater, instal and run the updater, the pc will then download the firmware and n95 will disconect frm net and the pc will start the update, enjoy. If u go over to prodigits.co.uk and join u can see in the s60 forum that ppl have used this method on n70 and n80 and it works fine.

thanks very much for quick replies.not had major use with the phone so still not sure if to bother with update,only thing i could do with fixing is the slow ar*e gallery.will sleep on it an take the plunge tomorrow!.thanks again.regards...simon
