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.

depends on your operator. Contact your network operator for more information.
