Nokia e75 questions about updating, applications, use and all?

[enzoespi]

So I just inherited my dad's old nokia e75 for the benefit of those who don't now how it looks, it's like the only candy car slider in the whole e series line. So I want to know how to update it you know like os and stuff 'cause my last phone was an iphone and basically it was more user friendly that this one. I want to know how to update stuff and if I can get like a twitter app or something with social networks for it. And I've been getting this flashing message symbol but I don't have any in my inbox soo yeah please help 'cause the manual it comes with isn't really helping thank you

according to ur phones specs

u have fota, which means u dont need to link ur phone to a pc to update its firmware. All u need is an active internet connection on ur phone.
Im not too familiar with ur phone, but i have fota in my n8. In my applications folder is an app named 'sw update', u just open it and it scans for updates. U tick the important and recommended updates, and it does everything for u. Do u have it somewhere? Also, in my settings, in phone, i have 'device management' and in the options i can check for updates there too.
Its easy to do, u just have to make sure ur battery is full. And also its a good idea to keep the charger still plugged in to the phone and wall, as updating drains ur battery, and if updating is interrupted, u can face many problems.
As far as apps go, the nokia ovi store is the best place.
Download the store app
