verybias, 13 Jan 2009gsmarena is so bias. a die-hard nokia fan site. Why do you ... moreLol, i totaly agree with what Flames said to you! :) quit posting dumb replies just because you hate NOKIA.
The day SE, SAMSUNG, BB, HTC or whoever else release an update as big as this THEN GSMArena will post it, they ACTUALY did post an article about the HTC Touch Diamond's ROM Update which added an extra frequency band, updates like that and this one make front page, until SE AND SAMSUNG release updates that big theres no point in posting their pointless updates, okay? Now grow up and get over it.

    Thanks for the tip GSMarena! I did the update on my E71 that i was basically not using and now it's a very good phone. I don't understand people that say the can't find the update, do you even own a Nokia phone or are just Iphone owners talking cr** as usual? You don't look for Nokia updates online, you connect the phone to your pc, open the Nokia software program that u have on your PC and click automatic update and it will find the firmware update itself from the Nokia centre, then it will download, install and update itself. Get a life iphone owners, don't just be talkning nonsense on a thread that is supposed advice people and help people.

      Run NSU (nokia Software Updater) then, click upgrade firmware. Or whatever the icon says.

      You don't have to search the announcement on the internet. Your Nokia Software Updater (the CD you got from buying nokia phone) will do it for you.

          If Nokia improved the earpiece design (like they did in E63), the E71 would be perfect.
          As it is, I`d just pass...

            Although I love my E71, the fact it is almost impossible (correction, totally impossible) to find this so called update (why no link GSM Arena?) on Nokia's multiple websites, is evidence on it's own why Apple have got it so right with the way they handle updates and apps on the iPhone / iPod Touch. All you do is click an icon and it's all done automatically from the device. I own a Mac and once Nokia do publish a link to this latest download, I wonder how easy it will be to carry out the upgrade. Or will I need to borrow a PC? And then, as per my former Nokia N95 8G, will I lose everything in the device during the process? Come on Nokia - you've created great hardware - now fix the upgrading process!

                verybias, 13 Jan 2009gsmarena is so bias. a die-hard nokia fan site. Why do you ... morethere are news for SE updates:
                http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_reveal_c510_and_update_the_c905_with_new_goodies-news-728.php

                But think people - most of the SE phones are feature phones, so their improvements aren't that big. Symbian instead is a popular OS and a massive update for Symbian phone definitely needs attention - like SP3 on WinXP.

                Or look at the home page in the reviews. How many Nokia handsets do you see? Or if they loved Nokia so much, where is 5800 review? Or if GSMA hated SE how they (had them and) wrote first all these good stuff about the two new announced SE models - C510 and W715.

                5800 review will come very soon and then we will see if the team love Nokia so much.

                  verybias, 13 Jan 2009gsmarena is so bias. a die-hard nokia fan site. Why do you ... moreYou indeed wouldn't know the truth if it shook your hand. How many times do Samsung and SE offer firmware updates???. So what's wrong with gsmarena highlighting a new firmware update by the world's largest mobile phone maker and one of the most popular email oriented phones ever made?.

                  That's the problem with brain dead Nokia haters like you, you just type without thinking whether you are making sense at all, it's not compulsory to post a comment you know especially if the comment in question exposes you for being shallow. In any case, no one forces you to come to gsmarena.

                  If it bugs you that much why don't you start your own website where you will publish firmware updates by SE and Samsung after all setting up a website is cheap enough for any tom,dick and harry to have a go at....

                                    gsmarena is so bias. a die-hard nokia fan site. Why do you have to publish the improvements of this nokia phone? why don't you do this to other phones particularly samsung and SE where they also give relevant updates to their phone?

                                    anyway, nokia e-series phones are losing to blackberry phones and to other popular business phones that is why they have to do this pathetic article. tsk tsk tsk..

                                        I hope they fixed the problem with wpa wifi. Its no use to me now I have unlimited data package which I had to get due this problem but its worked out better now I can browse any where and don't worry about cost.
                                        Only thing I wish for is very slightly bigger keyboard and screen.
