So everything should be left intact and I should be able to use the Nokia Updater myself?
Of course I'll backup to card first, just in case, then I'll need to know what to do if everything does go down ...

Hi Carol, OK, assuming there is an update available, i.e. the phone is confirming there is an update available, simply dial *#0000# and then press options, check for updates and follow instructions. Ensure the battery is charged beforehand. You will not lose anything as the N86 has UDP, User Data Protection on board. If you have sight and/or if your screen reader supports it, I recommend using the Nokia Software Updater, but as doing it via the phone is of course completely accessible regardless you could try this first.
