Nokia Series 60 Firmware History - N70

How to update your phone firmware

Nokia has released a software update application to you to update your own phone from your PC or over-the-air. To do this, just go to the Nokia Software Update page.

Changes/improvements made from MCU SW v5.0609.2.0.1 to v5.0638.3.0.1:

  Support for the AD-41 has been added in 5.0638.3.0.1. AD-41 provides remote control for Music Player and Radio functions. Note: the functionality of AD-41 with N70 is not identical to that of other products as the Music Player is different.
  In the Music Player main menu, the stop, next/ffwd, back/rwd keys have no response when a track is playing.
  In the Music Player sub menus, the play, stop, next/ffwd, back/rwd and volume keys have no response while a track is playing.
  In the Active Standby UI (i.e. when music is playing in the background), the volume control graphic is not updated when track volume changes are made using the AD-41 volume keys.
  AD-41 also has an integrated mic and provides call handling controls; accept incoming call, end call, voice dialling using SIND feature and in call volume control.
  New themes have been introduced with a new default theme for the Music Edition.
