Yup.

How do I update my firmware?

Note: Nokia device firmware cannot be downgraded. Once you have upgraded your device, you will not be able to restore to the earlier version. You can however re-install the same firmware version as you’re already running as many times as you want (which sometimes can cure back-up restoration problems).

1.Back-up data
Your personal data such as images, messages and contacts are stored in your phones memory and they’ll much likely BE DELETED during the firmware update.

2.Download and install Nokia Software Updater
To upgrade your firmware you need to download and install the Nokia Software Updater, also referred to as the NSU.

3.Charge your battery
Make sure your battery has full power before starting the update process. Running out of battery during the update can seriously harm your phone, likely causing it not to start up.

4.Connect your phone to your PC
Next you’ll need to connect your phone to your PC, this is relatively easy. Use the USB cable and connect one end in your phone and the other in one of your PC’s USB ports.

5.Launch the Nokia Software Updater
The NSU will try to determine whether or not your phone has the latest firmware by checking it’s so called ‘product code’. The product code depends on which region the phone was bought and/or if it is branded. Normally the latest firmware is first released to the phones with the EURO1 product code. Other regions receive the update over time and branded phones are usually the last (if ever) to get the latest firmware versions.

Dropdown No disrespect mate but please try to type full words and not texting slang when you type as it makes it very difficult for people to read your post and help you !
I hope you have more luck with your contacts now though and remember to back them up from time to time ;)

Exactly what Gaz said dropdown,if you can't type properly then don't type at all.

Hope you understand.

What version of PC Suite are you running? You sure you've got a legit phone, and not a copy?
