Updating your phone

Update your phone to the most recent software version to get optimal performance and the latest enhancements.

You can use the Update center application on your phone to run a wireless update, or you can use the PC Companion application on a computer to run an update using a USB cable connection. If you update wirelessly, then you can use either a mobile

network or a Wi-Fi®network connection. Just make sure you back up and save all data stored on your phone before you update.

When you run an update using the Update center application, a data connection is established and related charges may be incurred. Also, the availability of updates over a mobile network depends on your operator. Contact your network operator for more information.
