The Nokia N86 8MP is the latest smartphone to get a firmware update, taking the 8-Megapixel snapper from version v20.115 and bringing with it a number of small maintenance bumps. Find out more about the Nokia N86 8MP firmware update after the jump...

The Nokia N86 8MP is a great handset for those who don't want a touchscreen and today it seems to have started to receive a small firmware update to Version v21.006. This update weighs in at just 700KB and is available OTA (Over the Air) as well as through the Nokia Software Updater.

Check out our Nokia N86 8MP review

We've not received the update on our Nokia N86 8MP yet, but the guys over at All About Symbian have had theirs and there has been some discussion as to what the update entails. For the most part, the update speeds up the phone and makes it a little more responsive and also makes the 8-Megapixel camera a little snappier too.

If you've received the Nokia N86 8MP firmware update Version 21.006 let us know what changes you've noticed, we'd love to know.

Thanks to All About Symbian for the heads-up

Hi,

I just upgraded my software from 20.115 to new version 21.006.54.1
I did so using the Nokia Software Updater version 1.8.10en, on my WinXP Pro SP3 PC
The total download file size was 142.6meg!
After download, the installation of the new software only took about 4mins
When using the *#0000# command, I note the new software is dated 24-12-2009 – what a nice Christmas present to us n86 users!
The phone is now responding quicker to menu navigation and when turned from portrait to landscape, the display rotates quicker, now using a kind of fade in/out feature!

Thanks
josh

I love the camera of this phone, heaps of people still recon the nokia n82 is still the best camera phone out there but it cant be cause it dosnt have varible appreture like the nokia n86! anyway what ive notice is it takes better photos at night and the anti shake works better too!
Ive been hereing roumours of a firmware v30 that is suppose to fix everything and even make the camera better!

I have connected my N86 by USB cable CA-101 and ran Nokia Update.
The program recognized my N86 and wrote there is a new vresion 21.006 available.
The program started to download the update witch is 152 Mb.
But when it reached the end of download it told me i should use the USB cable directly not by USB hub ..
I did the update many times to my N73 but it didnt work with N86.
i an proffessional at these things but really dont know what the problem is.
and i will appreciate any help.

Problem with my N86 and Bluetooth handsfree after updating to 21.006

I use n86 & jabra BT 5010. Although it works good with my old 6230, the quality of jabra was Not good when used with n86. So I updated The phone last week. Believe it or Not, the Result was terrible. Not only The problem didn’t solve, but also I got some problems exactly in my phones Bluetooth. Now when I use my jabra, suddenly I lose the voice and I can’t return to my phone by pushing handset button. At this time when I try to end the conversation, the phone stops functioning (becomes paralyzed) and I should disconnect the battery. I don’t know what should I do
