Keep in mind, the N86 is a older phone and there hasn't been a firmware
update for it for well over 1 year. So if you ahve 20.x firmware on it, then
yes it will be OK to update to the latest firmware 30.x. Keep in mind, the
N86 uses the new EMail client and you can arrow to messages and read them,
you just can't tell what is unread etc... You can't access links in emails
but the rest works. The web works as well. The N86 is a 3rd Edition phone
encase you need to know. Yes you can update the firmware over the air. The
Software update utility isn't the same thing as the firmware udpate. The
software update only updates the programs on the phone. The firmware update
updates the operating system and related files. The Firmware udpate can be
done by doing a *#0000# from the standby screen and when it comes back,
press Options and select check for Update. Then follow the onscreen
instructions.

Hi Jim.
Now I'm in no way starting a debate here but I don't totally agree with
the
"Aint Broken, Don't Fix It" theory.
Sometimes, it's good to update as features work faster, new features
are
installed and of course the phone may work more efficiently with Talks or
whatever programme you are using.
Of course it's useful to check beforehand but updates aren't just there
for
the sake of it - I hope!!!!!.
Maurice Press.

I think it was stated on list not to long ago not to use the updater
because
of that. Now saying that it still can be updated if the phone has the
over
the air feature. You can check this by going into the device manager and
pressing soft key 1 and seeing if that option is there. It will probably
say
someting like check for updates. If you do it this way you will not lose
anything you have installed on the phone.

Subject: [Talks] Updating n86 firmware
Heya folks,
Loaded up me nokia software updater and had only 2 choices download
and exit, clicked on download and it installed the latest version of
updater which doesn't seem to be Jaws 12 friendly at all once it went
to the new version, so I uninstalled and reinstalled my old version
again.
Can I update my firmware as a blind person alone on my n86 without
losing my talks? And what are the steps to do this?
Cheers,
Jim
