Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type smartphone received a new update to its operating firmware and as such the version number now changed from the previous v05.68 to v06.00 and can be installed with some new changes that has been brought around with it. It does not seem to be a major update but unlike other new versions that are released with little or no visible changes, the Nokia X3-02 Firmware update v06.00 comes included with multi-purpose Swipe feature along with some performance upgrades. Nokia X3-02 is one of the popular handset that is clubbed in the Touch & Type category and has a partial touchscreen along with physical keypads. For those who are unfamiliar with this phone or are intending to purchase it, you can go through the technical specifications of Nokia X3-02 along with other details of the phone that was published earlier here in The Techno Zine.


Coming back to the point, the change log of the v06.00 firmware update indicates that there will be a Swipe feature that can be used to unlock the mobile phone when it is in lock state and also one can swipe open Collection and Games within the phone. This makes it an interesting feature that will now come preloaded and hence one need not go for other third party apps that does the same thing. In addition to this new feature, it also brings in enhancement in the performance of many key features in the mobile phone and makes it much more usable by getting rid of bugs that were previously present.

There are nothing more which are introduced in this firmware upgrade and one has to remain content with it until Nokia rolls out another major edition of the firmware. If you currently own this Nokia mobile, then you can also install the latest version which is recently made available and as usual, both the Over The Air and Nokia Software Updater method can be used. Even though, one can perform the update operation directly without creating backup of the contents already stored but as a safety measure it is always recommended to perform a quick backup as there may be some instance when things might go wrong and you may lose the important files stored in the phone.

So if you currently own the Nokia X3-02 handset and have not updated the firmware yet, you can do so and avail the new features and improved performance that it promises and accordingly you may proceed with any convenient method such as OTA or NSU.
