Nokia N79 gets first firmware update, and it's a big one

by Darren Murph Dec 22nd 2008 @ 11:35AM

Four-thousand, five-hundred and eighteen. That gigantic number is the amount of words (if our trusty word counting robot here isn't fibbing) that details the changelog in Nokia's very first N79 update. The handset, which was just launched a few months back and only hit US hands last week, has been updated from version 10.046 to version 11.049, and boy, what an update it is. For very obvious reasons, we can't even begin to scratch the surface on the copious amount of changes included in the new release, but given that practically every possible aspect was addressed, we'd recommend downloading at your earliest convenience. Or you could read up on the changes first, but you'll probably get done around the time the N79's successor arrives on store shelves.

this phone just arrived for me today, but when I run the software update from the phone, it's not saying there's a new update out there. Yet the phone's software's 10.something and it's from before this date
