Download the Nokia Software Updater application version 1.4.64 to update your phones.

Note:

As of this posting, my E71 is yet to be upgraded. According to Nokia’s Device Software Update page, ”there is no software currently available for that product code (APAC 0560659) via the Nokia Software Update tool.”

I guess I just have to wait ’till Nokia’s server is updated…

Update: Apparently this firmware update for the E71 has no substantial changes   It’s more of a “preventive measure” to dis-allow hacking of the phone. What a pity! Not even a fix to the E71’s purplish tinge when taking pictures…… I may be skipping this update for now.

For the E66 owners, the upside-down camera is now fixed. Be aware though that it also prevents you from haking your phone – installing unsigned applications is curently impossible.

You’ve been warned!
