E71 Grey Steel
I’ve recently received confirmation that a new firmware is available for the Nokia E71 Euro, v200.21.118. This new firmware update is available through Nokia’s Software Update application (shouldn’t it be called Nokia Firmware Update?) for the European variant of the E71. NAM users are stuck on the old firmware for the time being.
I’m still working to get a changelog, and will update this post as soon as possible. I have checked with my E71 NAM, and can confirm that it’s not available for North American users quite yet. Also, remember that the E71 has not been gifted with UDP (User Data Preservation) yet, so you’ll want to backup all information from your phone before applying the update.
You can download NSU here.

Nice! The camera is much improved and the new themes are gorgeous!
Great!. I am hopeful the NAM version of this update fixes a lot of the irritating bugs in my e71-2
Tip: when doing the final backup using Content Copier, check that it can restore Contacts, Notes, Calendar, etc.
My E71 hangs when using Content Copier if the “Settings” option is ticked. This results in a backup file that won’t restore Contacts, Calendar, Notes even though they are in the file (as seen by the Noki backup explorer program).

Me:
Keep dreaming. They are yet to release the previous relatively minor update for the NAM phones. We are probably in for a 6+ month wait. Idiotic? By all means. Fact of life? Certainly, get used to it. After all, Nokia is the company that walked away from the biggest cell phone market on Earth.

I don’t get Nokias update policy. I live in Europe (Germany), I bought a free (not branded) model by amazon and still I got the first update with over 2 months delay and as the second update is not available right now I think I know what this means…
Anyway, great to see that Nokia at least works on the E71. Some of the improvements sound quite nice.

On the contrary – Nokia is actually the number 1 manufacturer in China (and India, too, which isn’t far behind).
is there any information on the new themes??
do the icons change??
hey boys, for NAM version (mine code 0559585) it is available. I will update mine.
regards, from Argentina, GermanG
alf: The icons are still the same.
The most important thing for me in new update is that my battery life is increased from 2 to 6 or 7 days
[...] who are incredibly frustrated that your E71 NAM (product code 0569371) hasn’t been given the latest v200 firmware update, I have great news – You can now update through NSU! This doesn’t require you to change your [...]
