Nokia have just released a new firmware update of it’s camera phone flagship, the Nokia N86 8MP.
The Nokia N86 software version 11.043 promises better imaging results especially in video recording, low light pictures are also improved. The same goes for the Browser, Share Online, and the Settings Wizard.
SW update is a small application that is used alongside the separate Download applications to bring updates and firmware upgrades to the Nokia N86 8MP. It’s one of those apps you need to manually check.
Doing so, I’ve just found there are two new updates located there and ready to be downloaded by all users. You can get these updates OTA (Over The Air) or make the most of the built-in Wi-Fi connection. The updater allows you to get hold of Ovi Maps 3.1 and Conversations 9.20. Nokia Maps 3.0 will be replaced by version 3.0.1 and the phone will offer better maps experience in landscape mode. This is a slight step-up in terms of functionality that was offered with Ovi Maps 3.0, including 3D buildings, improved traffic and pedestrian data, as well as enhanced performance. Conversations 9.20 is Nokia’s own social media networking tool that allows you commute with others in an Instant Messaging environment.
Nokia N86 Game Review-Super Tux
This game is called Super Tux and it is the remake of the classic Super Mario game. The story is also similar. In this game, Tux’s girlfriend, Penny gets kidnapped and Tux has to pass through various levels and obstacles to get her back.
The game is compatible with the Nokia N86 8MP and other S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 and Feature Pack 2 devices. The game also works on S60 3rd Edition UIQ devices such as the Sony Ericsson W960, P1i etc.
The game is free to download and play. the hero in this game is not Mario but Tux, the popular icon of the Linux Operating Systems. The game is full of fun with power-ups, obstacles, hidden bonus blocks etc.
