Firmware Updates for Nokia E71, E66 and E51

Nokia Eseries phones have some firmware updates. They are Nokia E51, E66 and E71. As for the E51, this newest firmware is v400.34.011 and E71, E66 they both go to v300.21.012. Before now, E71 and E66 using v210.21.006, so this updates are sustantial to them. But no info about their changelogs for this time. For doing the updates you can go to Nokia Software Updater.

E66 and E71 dont have UDP support and you cant use OTA for updating. So, it is important for you to make your backup using Ovi Suite or Nokia PC so this update will not remove your data and program.

After installing update on E71, you will find widget links of My Space, Facebook and YouTube pre installed (in media folder). This is good idea, but I dunno where Ovi Store, Sports Tracker and Maps go? And unfortunately, there are a lot of lags when you exite the app. What do u think guys?
