Nokia’s N78 Firmware Update, Again.

July 1, 2008 · Filed Under Firmware 

There’s nothing surprising when Nokia drive out another firmware update to one of its S60 handsets. This user-installable firmware update is said to be launched for European model before the North American model. No, this is not an ordinary post. There’s something different now, particularly in the way of distribution of the update. The company is finally taking advantage of S60’s over-the-air update capability, allowing users to nab the 2MB binary for the European variant of the N78 right over a WiFi or 3G connection (GPRS / EDGE too, we imagine, but that’d be pretty painful). Version 11.043 is said to imbue handsets with “improved stability with Bluetooth (headsets and car kits) and music (playback over a long time and content refresh)” alongside “optimized Camera performance and Naviscroll sensitivity improvements,” so we’d say it’s pretty much a no-brainer to grab — particularly since it doesn’t mean sitting down in front of the PC with a USB cable and an iron will.

To obtain this software update, you will have to connect your phone to the internet using WiFi or wireless data network, click Menu > Tools > Utilities > Device Manager. Select Options > Check for updates and follow the on-screen prompts. A total 2MB file will be transfered to your N78 directly.
