Nokia Beta Labs today released a new version of the Nokia Software Updater, which adds in Windows 7 support, and also improves the connectivity on the USB interface.

Another nice added gesture, is a “What’s New” feature, so when you have new firmware available to download to your device, it will tell you what changes you should notice once you have updated.

It always seemed like a bit of a joke to us Windows 7 users that Nokia was taking so long to add Windows 7 support to the Nokia Software Updater application, but I’m glad that it is now filtering through.

Remember though, that this is only a BETA release, so don’t use it unless you are happy with the possible consequences of an inappropriate bug here or there.

Nokia do say on their Beta Labs Blog though, that they don’t expect to see this software stay in BETA form for much more than a couple of weeks, so you may be just as well to wait for the official release.

I’m just downloading and installing it now, so will report back if I notice any glaring problems.  The installation has started though, so I’m happy that it is happy that I’ve got Windows 7.

Have you found any problems?  Let us know in the comments, or shoot me an email steve@thenokianetwork.com
