I had reported an Update to Nokia 5230 Firmware Nokia 5230 Firmware Update v50.1.001 soon now it has been confirmed officially on Nokia Conversations Blog.The update starts today but not all of you may see it as Nokia brings the updates to different product codes at different times.

The changes are

• One of the key updates is the Nokia browser v7.3, the same that will be available for newer Symbian phone in the coming months with Symbian Anna. It provides faster browsing, supports International Domain Names (IDNs) and also supports non-ASCII letters such as Arabic or Chinese. Ultimately, you’ll get a better browsing experience.
• Ovi Maps is another updated feature in these handsets, but there are two different versions to take into consideration. Ovi Maps 3 SR4 will feature on Symbian 3.2 devices, bringing indoor positioning through WiFi, as well as travel and recommendation services such as those through Lonely Planet. For users of Symbian 5.0 devices, you’ll get Ovi Maps 3 SR6, adding public transport lines and check-in services to social networking sites.

How to:Updating Firmware

Image by digitpedia via FlickrUpdating phone firmware is very important to get the most out of your phone.Updating your phone can

• New features
• Performance improvements
• application updates

So updating your phone is very important.Their are three ways for updating your phone firmware.

• Giving it to nokia service centre
• Update using Nokia software updater or Ovi suite
• Over the air update

Giving it to a nokia  service center is free only when you are under warranty period otherwise you will be charged.

I will recommend updating using ovi suite because it supports both application and firmware updates and also nokia software updater has an error which makes downloading of firmware infinite.

Over the air update means updating using your phone itself.

For that dial *#0000#  press options->check for updates.

If a newer firmware is available you will be asked whether to download.The main advantage is that the download is smaller.
