This week, Nokia rolled out a major firmware upgrade for its flagship business smartphone, the E71. At only .39-inches thick, the E71 is the slimmest BlackBerry-like, tablet-style, QWERTY thumb-keyboard communicator on the market.
Run the Nokia Software Updater program on your PC to get firmware 200.21.118. Be sure to back everything up on your smartphone before proceeding, as the upgrade process deletes all the data on the E71.
