This just hit my RSS reader, Nokia has released new firmware updates for both the Nokia E71 and E66, as well as the Nokia Software Updater application. The Nokia E66′s firmware has been updated to v110.07.126 and includes new versions of Nokia’s Mail for Exchange application, as well as an update for Nokia Maps. Various other stability issues have been addressed, as well.
The Nokia E71′s firmware is now at v110.07.127, and includes similar fixes, such as the Mail for Exchange and Nokia Maps. The camera viewfinder has received some attention, as has browsing. In addition to updating the two phones, Nokia’s Software Update application for Windows-based PCs has received an update, so you’ll need to download the new version of that before you can update your firmwares.
Note that, before updating your device, you should use the built-in backup feature, in addition to ensuring that you have a copy of any important data stored elsewhere, should something go wrong. I’ll be updating the firmware on my E71, and will report back here with any additional findings.
You can download the Nokia Software Updater program here.
Update: This is apparently for Euro versions only. My E71-2 NAM is not showing an update. Come on, Nokia, this is *really* getting old, *really* fast.
Update #2: Thanks to Candyman from HowardForums, we have a changelog for the E71 update (I would imagine the E66 changelog is rather similar:
