I am trying to upgrade my Nokia e71 this morning on my Mac Mini.
I have all of the day to day stuff working on the Mac side such as iSync and photo/video and music transfer.

I am now using Parallels with Windows XP to install the PC suite so that I can install a new firmware update.

N73 owner – sick to death of Nokia indifference to its (potentially) most loyal customers.

I boot my MacMini into Windows Vista by using Apples Bootcamp to run the Nokia Software thats not available for the Mac OS.
I have Paralells with Windows XP, but so far I have not been able to connect my Nokia N95 using Paralells.
Booting into Vista works just fine, and I am also running Maploader this way. Jørn

@Colin I used Parallels before Fusion, but I read somewhere that Fusion is faster and had no problems with the USB connection to the phones I use.

@James Burland I agree and I love the Unity View feature.

@Hasik Not difficult at all, but I’m glad an Eseries user comes to this site, even though I rarely write about it. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to those phones.

I updated the firmware on my N95 using Parallels on a mac. Same principle, different software.
It took a couple of tries for the USB link to the phone to become visible but it worked perfectly after that.

I’ve also used Nokia maploader the same way without any problems.

I have a Nokia e61i and a Macintosh iBook G4. How do I update my firmware? I don’t. I’ve occasionally checked for firmware updates at nokia.com, but I’m not sure that I’ll bother, as difficult as it seems to be.

[...] Guim at The Nokia Blog shares the fact that he was able to update the firmware on his N93i by using a Mac. Harnessing the power of VMware Fusion, a desktop virtualisation [...]

I upgrade the same way you do – Fusion is a remarkable product.
