1. I just tried to update the firmware on my E71-2 (RM-357) - the NSU told me that only the 100.07.76 was available and asked it I wanted to reinstall...
   
   The help file told me to check the CODE on my phone (under the IMEI behind the battery) - CODE: 0569371 does not have an available upgrade.   by Unregistered
   
2. Hmm, reverts the phone to factory settings? That's a pretty big downside. The only real benefit I want out of this update is improvement to the camera quality - can anybody who's tried it out verify that the update is really worth it (specifically for the camera update)?   by Unregistered
   
3. I also have the N71-2 (0569371) and there is still no firmware update for it. I tried both via the NSU and by putting the product code into Nokia's website to check.   by panthar
   
4. posting that a firmware upgrade is available when it is not.....as you like to say, FAIL   by gdigenis
   
5. I can confirm that the E71-2 NAM firmware update is available through NSU because I myself updated earlier today. My product code is 0559585.   by TheGuru
   
6. no updates available for e71-2 with product code 0569371
   
   how stupid is that? its an unbranded phone and there are still product codes that are made to wait for updates   by Unregistered
   
7. I got mine thru Amazon and also have 0569371 and no update is available.   by Unregistered
   
8. That is rather silly that there are multiple product codes for the NAM E71, and moreso that there wasn't a complete rollout. I'll see if I can't get some more information tomorrow from some friends at Nokia.   by TheGuru
   
9. My E71 NAM version is also product code 0569371, obtained through Amazon, and it also does not have an update available.   by Unregistered
   
10. All the feedback I've seen suggest that the camera has not improved at all and maybe even worse. Other big issue is the some app backgrounds are now transparent (contact, calendar) with black text so dark themes no longer work. How much faster is the browser? Does it compare with Opera and Skyfire? The constant reloading and reformatting of pages makes me want to avoid it altogether.   by Unregistered
    
11. Does anyone know the difference between these 2 product codes?   by panthar
    
12. One can be updated, one can't ;-) Actually, that's a great question...   by Unregistered
    
13. Apparently, code 0559585 is actually a Euro version of the phone (probably loaded w/ the E71-2 version of the firmware???) - which makes sense since I got my unbranded E71-2 sans pre-installed MFE from NewEgg...oh well, hopefully the actual NAM update will come soon.   by Unregistered
    
14. I purchased my E71-2 from NewEgg in September, product code 0569371, I am unable to download the new firmware yet.   by jbc247
    
15. Once again Nokia has been successful in letting us down here in the U.S. We dont ask for much, pay the ridiculous prices for their phones, and still cannot get just a little bit of attention from them. What's it gonna take? Make us pay more money for a crappy piece of **** for a phone then make us wait for an update that supposedly will fix it, however it doesnt. Then what? Make us wait even longer?
    
    After reading through a bunch of forums, the update is not all that. In fact, it appears to cause more problems than solve them. My E71-2 0569371 is starting to **** me off now, im strongly considering Ebay. Ill wait until I see this update for my version of the phone, and if its another crappy firmware, Ebay it is for this phone.   by Unregistered
    
16. I love my E71, but its multimedia handling is simply appalling. Email aside, when is the firmware going to provide decent media management capabilities? Face it, S60 cannot handle anything more than a few hundred images photos and songs. Music Player is the total crap with constant refreshing and no album art (no retrieval, no iTunes art). Gallery is a complete nightmare - it takes over a minute to open just to preview 2 or 3 new photos you've captured/added, nevermind an entire iPhoto album. I noticed the Express5800 has also inherited this same feeble s60 suite. Doesn't anyone else notice these GLARING shortcomings?   by E71er

    Why not do it now? Otherwise we'll have to read your whining until the next update.   by OptionTrader
    
18. How about it, Guru? Any clarification/updates on this?   by Unregistered
    
19. Okay folks, I downloaded NSS, changed the product code to 0559585 (the original code is 0569371) and then connected to Nokia Software Updater.
    
    I'll write about my experience on my personal blog www.raj.jp in a few days (as soon as I can)

20. With the pending release of the E71x on AT&T, I wonder if Nokia is hoping to leverage some of their testing on that ROM before releasing ROM update for the 0569371. Correct me if I am wrong but the E71-2 / 0559585 (which does have a ROM update) runs the European flavor of 3G (i.e., not compatible with AT&T), no?   by Unregistered
    
21. Hi, I've got 100.07.76 08-06-2008 RM-357 Nokia E71-2 (236.01) but am on a Mac, in Canada, is there an update, do I want it, and how should I get it? Thanks.   by tissage
    
22. I got my unlocked E71-2 from amazon, but no update for me , sucks because my blue ant z9i headset disconnects over and over and the camera sucks, it takes purple photos! and scrolling through the contact list the display gets interference , lines through the middle   by Unregistered
