How to update Nokia N96 software?

For those that aren’t aware of how to update the Nokia N96 firmware/software, Mark Guim has posted a vlog post on how to do it via the OTA (over-the-air) method. This method saves 97% of the size of the update, saving you money and time, as jonbaker explained in a forum post.

The latest version is v12.0.43, different from the v12.0.35 available from an “illegal” update. If it isn’t available for you, consider changing the product code, and if you don’t know how to, follow the guide how to change product codes, and choose from which Nokia N96 product codes you will use to update.
