But this is not true and one can easily download and update the Nokia Firmware without requiring any expert hands for accomplishing the task. What is needed here is an available update for the particular Nokia smartphone and an active data connection on the phone or an internet connected computer to make use of for this purpose.

If you have a 3G connection or GPRS/EDGE data subscription available on the phone itself, then you may utilize it to use the OTA or Over The Air method which allows you to instantly download and install the updates easily and efficiently.
