Cheers.

Unfortunately, my phone has to be returned as, for some unexplained reason, we were unable to get the N86 software installed so that it would communicate properly with PC Suite. This phone, though I love it, is turning out to be a bit troublesome ... so I hope someone can get to the bottom of it all very soon.

Thanks anyway for your help.

Hello,

Download from here:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update#

The update should take around 10-15 minutes but is
usually sooner.

HTH.
