Update-ul cuprinde fix-uri de stabilitate dar si functionalitati noi.
Pentru a va instala noul firmware aveti nevoie de Ovi Suite pe care il puteti descarca de aici. Aveti de asemenea nevoie de un cablu USB. Dupa ce va instalati Ovi Suite si va conectati telefonul prin USB, in meniul Tools selectati “Software Updates”. Utilitarul Ovi va identifica telefon si o sa va ghideze prin update. Nu uitati sa faceti o copie a datelor de pe telefon, urmand ca acestea sa fie sterse odata instalat update-ul. Update-ul se poate realiza tot cu Ovi Suite.

Ce veti gasi acolo? In afara de deja cunoscutul Nokia E-mail, site-ul deja pune la dispozitie un client de chat pentru symbian si maemo, dar si un client pentru retele sociale.

Am testat personal pe Nokia E71 clientul de chat care suporta deocamdata Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk si Ovi Chat,  si pot sa va spun ca functioneaza bine, chiar daca este inca in versiune Beta.

Folosirea programelor este gratuita !

Instalati cu Nokia PC Suite si cablul de date sau bluetooth.

Aceasta versiune de software ar trebuii sa repare cateva buguri si sa imbunatateasca cateva functii. Surpriza. Nu e chiar asa. Exista destule raportari pe net, despre diferiti utilizatori care dupa aplicarea noului upgrade au avut probleme cu mai multe functii (cele mai multe legate de retelele wireless).

Personal, dupa update am observat urmatoarele probleme:
1. A disparut Nokia Messaging – aplicatia minune care dupa ce ca arata bine, imi tragea mailurile in timp real – si nu o mai gasesc sa o instalez (a disparut fara urma)
2. A disparut magazinul Ovi
3. Au aparut niste icons-uri noi (Facebook si alte din astea)
4. Am instalat gmail si se misca muuult ai greu, aproape inutilizabil
5. Browserul implicit parca se misca mai bine

Sfatul meu : Mai asteptati inainte sa instalati noul firmware. E posibil sa apara niste fix-uri.
Daca totusi tineti neaparat sa il vedeti, faceti backup la tot (memorie interna prin Nokia PC Suite) si card prin Windows Explorer, instalati noul firmware, formatati cardul de memorie, aplicati un factory reset pe telefon, copiati din nou pe card ce aveati inainte si sperati ca a iesit bine.
