The Nokia E6 gets character counter fix for Messaging

Published by at

Following the Belle update, as reported by us previously, Nokia E6 users were rather upset to find that there was now no on-screen counter of the number of characters used in SMS messages. This was begging for a quick over-the-air patch and this has now appeared for most E6 product codes. Screens below.

You can check your E6 for the patch by going into Sw_Update in the main application menu. Our editorial E6 is also showing the AgendaServer update that first appeared a week ago (mainly to fix issues with Lotus Notes Traveler).

It is expected that the E7 will get a similar fix in due course, since in 'opened' mode the E7 also lacks the character counter.

Belle watchers might like to note that, although most issues have now been addressed with updates, there's still no sign of a patch for Flash video playback problems. Maybe that's next?
