Great to hear.
This may be a bit off topic but does the n85 have the metal membrane that helps increase the lifetime of the OLED display

Hmmm...well for my already sold off N85 a firmware upgrade can't fix a crack under the d-pad, a wobbly slider, the bottom half of the fascia coming off, lousy speakers, or a keypad scratched up by simply using the slider, can it?

Long live N95 8G...

My N85 upgrade didn't go well

I just upgraded my N85 and it keeps resetting the home screen - cycling about every 2 seconds. The phone works and I can make calls but I can't use any applications. Help!

I've just reflashed it from Software updater and its still doing it.

any thoughts???

@gibberishy.... i just sent my n85 off for repair because of that crack under the d-pad. looks like i'm not alone with that problem. since i have a NAM version, i guess i shouldn't be expecting an upgrade any time soon.

If you changed your product code and updated your firmware before, then i guess the new firmware will be in the same language as the old one.

Cool Any love for version 11.0.47 for Nokia N85-3 (NAM)??

Can't find an update to my NAM N85 either. I've tried OTA and using Nokia SW updater. It shows the current version the same as the one on my phone as 11.0.47. Any ideas??? It's a Nokia N85 (RM-334).

I also just checked the device software updater page at europe.nokia.com/A4305060 and got the following:

Latest available software for Nokia N85, product code 0574476
Version: 11.047

Compare numbers
If this version is greater than your current software version, update now to get the latest features, applications and improvements. Go to Nokia Software Updater download

The update isn't instantly available to all users of all product codes i'm afraid. It can often take time i'm afraid.

have been using the new firmware for an hour and it works very well!

the share online seems updated and I got a new dictionary application, it's even not conflict with the old one, wowow!! and I can still use the traditional chinese. car guy 143 you are right!

I'm lucky today, nokia has update for my taiwan firmware, when I was using N93i and N81 there was no update for traditional chinese at all. This time nokia seems has improved...
