Nokia N79, N85 and 5530

Nokia has released updates for three of its Symbian S60 smartphones. Without further ado, here they are:

  • Nokia N79 – after the update, the N79′s firmware reaches version 32.001. Details on what’s new are unknown at the stage, as we still haven’t seen the full change log. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hit the “Update” button – quite the contrary.
  • Nokia N85 – firmware version jumps to 31.002. According to AllAboutSymbian, this is mostly a bugfix release with tweaks on streaming and naming convention of GMail (Googlemail in the UK and Germany). I’m guessing, the N79 got a pretty much similar update.
  • Nokia 5530 XM – once updated, the low-end all-touchscreen device’s firmware is in version 20.0.080. The 140MB heavy download updates Nokia’s Ovi apps (Maps, Store), Nokia Music widget, and so on. In addition, it’s fair to add some known bugs are fixed here as well.

As usual, we advise you to backup your device prior to performing any updates, just in case…

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
