Nokia has added the new firmware for the E71-2 NAM to NSU recently, so that U.S. owners can finally get some firmware update love. The new version, v110.07.127, offers quite a few bugfixes and whatnot, which should make the E71 more stable overall.
Changes to the E71 for this firmware include Nokia Email updates, as well as a new update to Mail For Exchange and Nokia Maps, both of which are pre-installed. Be aware, NSU is being really finicky for me, demanding a nearly full battery before it will actually apply the update, which is rather annoying. Also annoying is that the E71 does NOT support UDP (User Data Preservation), which means that after your firmware update, your phone will be reverted to factory settings, which means you need to backup any data that you want to save.
With Nokia releasing more and more US 3G NAM models, having up-to-date firmware is going to be key for them to build a relationship with users, and it’s nice to see the E71 NAM get update, even if it is a few weeks after the Euro version. Wonder when my N95-3 is going to get updated to V30……
