The Nokia N86 8MP, which is the first handset from Nokia to have an 8 mega pixel camera inbuilt, has just gotten a new update to its firmware; one we had been expecting for quite a while now, and that has some new features to please users. The new version of firmware is v20.115, and you can get it onto your handset either via Nokia Software Update or by typing *#0000# on your home screen. As we expected, this latest firmware introduces the highly anticipated to the mobile phone.

Other positive changes brought about due to the new firmware v20.115 for Nokia’s N86 8MP include an improvement to the quality of still images, higher quality video footage, red eye removal, (which you can enable using red eye reduction flash mode,) a neat little focus indicator letting you know what the camera is focussing on while shooting as well as a greatly improved close up focus, which seems perfect for taking Facebook profile snaps.

There have also been some slightly less exciting but never the less handy updates bundled in with this new version of firmware, including automatic VoIP re registration, a shortcut icon for Ovi Chat on the home screen and the addition of an Ovi Store client.

There are some bug fixes as well, which involve internet capabilities, Ovi Maps, the music store client, Here and Now as well as Nokia Messaging. Some users have also reported seeing more free space on their handset, which is great so long as it isn’t the result of lost data.

Luckily, the Nokia N86 8MP has UDP, or “user data preservation”; so please ensure you back up all of your files before you update your firmware to v20.115.
