Nokia software updater for Mac beta is available

Good news for those with a Nokia handset and a Mac as Nokia has finally released its software updater for Mac. This software tool lets you update with your handset using your Mac desktop or laptop. Right now, the tool only works with the operating system, but future releases will add support for applications. The tool is a release candidate and still under development, so expect it to be rough around the edges. Thus far, no issues have been reported, so you should be clear to use the tool if you own a Nokia smartphone. You can point your browser to the Nokia Beta Labs website for additional information and to download the software updater.

I have to echo the comments already here in the hope that someone from Nokia might read these. Too little, waaaaaaay too late. Nokia couldn't have cared less about the mac years ago, and I think they're losing their grip on Jobs' coattails.

Would have saved me hour long trips to the Nokia flagship store to have their techs help with the installing of new firmware. I often wondering those outside of NYC did when problems arose... though I'm guessing the number of N series phone user sharply dips in such an instance.

I changed the device number to turn it into a generic model and installed the full Nokia software on the N95. This sort of messing about can only be done running Windows, so I use Boot Camp.
For other Mac users like me who hate outdated network software on their Nokia handset, this software isn't any good, especially if we have to change the phone ID.
A few years too late, alas; like much of what Nokia produces these days
