Nokia recently let loose a firmware fiesta, with newly updated firmwares available for the Nokia E75, Nokia E90, and Nokia N79 (the N85 shouldn’t be too far behind this one, either. The Nokia E75 firmware is up to v110.48.125, the E90, old though it may be, was updated to v400.34.93, and the little old N79 [...]
A few months ago, just as it was launching its beta Email service, Nokia stated that it was discontinuing support for its BlackBerry Connect client, which allows Eseries smartphones to connect to BlackBerry servers for full push email capabilities.

I’m not sure where the problem occurred, but I’ve pulled the video and will hopefully be able to re-edit without the hiccups and errors. Thanks again, and we’re real sorry about that. Come one, come all, to yet another episode of [...]
