The Nokia N86 8MP is a slider phone with a solid and reliable body design. It runs the Symbian S60 3rd Edition operating system and comes with an 8-Megapixel camera. What's more, the Nokia N86 8MP has just received a slight software update. Join us after the jump to find out the full details of what the update has to offer....

The Nokia N86 8MP has received a quick software update using the built-in 'SW update' tool that can be found under Applications.

SW update is a small application that is used alongside the separate Download! app to bring updates and firmware upgrades to the Nokia N86 8MP. It's one of those apps you need to manually check. Doing so, we'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.

Ovi Maps 3.1 replaces the previous Maps 3.0 they Nokia N86 8MP shipped with – this was the first device to ship with the latest version of the software. 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. You can carry on a conversation, or reply to a message send earlier. Once installed, it sets itself up in the Contacts for easy use.
