Nokia N80 Users Can Now Upgrade to Internet Edition Via NSU (Officially!)
by Darla
Users can now update their N80's to Internet Edition without having to worry about voiding their warranty by trying to trick NSU. The Nokia Software Updater Team has now made it possible.
[via: Nokia Support Discussions]
Dear Updaters
The Nokia Software Updater is now ready to offer “Internet Edition” software for most standard Nokia N80 users. This software includes Mobile Search, Internet telephony (VoIP), Downloads client and Lifeblog.
Please note that after updating and restoring your own data, the new Internet folder will not be visible because you will have restored the standard N80 screen layout “on top” of the N80IE software. New N80IE applications are not deleted. They are still available and can be found in the My Own folder.
The Nokia N80 Internet Edition software may not be available for all variants. Check to see if an update is available for your own device at
http://europe.nokia.com/A4305060.
The Internet Edition software version number is 4.0632.0.38.
Regards,
The Nokia Software Updater Team
Yay!!! Now I wonder if this will be a standard thing because we still have the N73 editions being edited.
Thanks to Shawn and Daniel for pointing this out.
Since it looks like none of the online retailers nor the Nokia stores themselves carry the original non-internet edition N80s, I think they had to let this happen. As long as there are still regular vanilla N73s on the market though, we'll still be changing our product codes for the music and internet editions.

Update successful. Small correction: The apps are in the Internet folder, not My Own.
Two thumbs up, Nokia.

I ran the firmware update through the NSU, but couldn't find any of those new goodies the N80ie features... but I did find the ie-feature installs through My Own > Downloads.

Lame Nokia does not support the Mac. Dumb.
