Hi Kawal, if your Focus Blue was new last year when you bought it, you can update it. The only ones you can't update are the ones with whiz wheels, and they stopped being sold in 2012. Power 1 2 3 is a really cool feature for seamlessly switching between a computer connected via USB and an iDevice connected with Bluetooth. Makes handling texts etc a snap.
