I used my Apple Macbook Pro to update the Nokia N93i to the latest firmware as of writing this entry, version 30.0.013, using VMware Fusion without any problems. As you may know, Nokia Software Update only works on Windows. If you are a Mac user, you get the benefits of both worlds by being able to run Windows on a Mac.

Nokia tries catering to Mac users by providing iSync plugins and the Nokia Multimedia Transfer in the Nokia Mac support page, but Nokia Software Update is still not available in Mac version. This is where desktop virtualization softwares like VMware Fusion comes in handy.

Are you a Mac and Nokia user? Let me know how you upgrade your phone firmware.
