Closedware toys
Finally got a firmware update for an E90. Nokia Software Updater doesn't work on business operating systems like Unix, Solaris, Linux, BSD, OS X, or even a fashionable closedware OS.
Some improvements but now all my contact syncs are messed up and Nokia Multimedia Transfer still doesn't work.
All business users need is a decent kernel like Linux kernel 2.6 and a decent file system like ZFS or JFFS2 or ext3, and basic building blocks like BASH. Nokia hardware is already adequate, you can even step on it and it keeps running, but the software is not robust and does not preserve the safety of your data. These are basic fundamentals. Data security is important for businesses. Instead of wasting resources trying to write a better Linux kernel, Nokia should use the Linux kernel. Gamers and even some businesses might enjoy OpenGL and that will be nice to have once the basics are working but critical enterprise applications require just the basics -- a business kernel and a professional business file system.

Aha, you're right! I didn't know that, I'd always assumed the Eseries had Blackberry as standard.
However, in the case of the E71 I'd expect it to be Blackberry compatible because it's the follow-up to the E61 (which had Blackberry), and it's an Eseries with a QWERTY keyboard so it's clearly meant for users of corporate e-mail.
This is all of course assuming that a device like the E71 exists, we haven't actually had it confirmed yet... ;-)

E66 screen quality
Hi,
I'm interested in the quallity & size of the e66 display, especially the brightness.
Also how the rendered web pages look in landscape and portrait modes, I think there is an accelerometer built in?
Also the dimensions and weight, how well teh HSDPA and WIFI connections fare.
Cheers

Let's hope the native SIP stack doesn't go missing from the E66 and E71 like it apparently has from the N78, as that was a dumb move.

Excited...
I am really looking forward to your review, as our usage seems quite similar... heavy qwerty usage, slightly more business focussed, but with an important interest in multimedia (a cross between E-series and N-series).
Would love to know about multimedia capabilities (camera, internet radio and podcatching and playing), Internet (browser, share online, WRT), and the keyboard (how is it??).
Just some thoughts. Thanks again!

Dear Krisse,
As you probably know E51 isnt officially BB enabled.
So that was the reason I was asking details about E71.

MARYMARYLAND, I think all recent Eseries devices have been Blackberry compatible haven't they?
Presumably the same would be true for the upcoming devices? I don't know for sure but that's what I'd guess.

E71
Dear Rafe/Steve,
I'm interested if Nokia E71 will be Blackberry capable.
Please ask this @ Nokia Press conference.
Hope the answer is positive, if not I will get a Bold.
Many thanks,
mary

Steve, make sure to spill some beans on E75, Trisha and Sofie too, ok? =)

The live update is now on the front page. As before you can also get this via Twitter and Jaiku (links on the front page).
We'll do our best to ask lots of questions, but if there's anything specific you would like to know please let us know via the comments, email etc.

Ah, I was looking forward to this quite a few months ago. I was going to get 'Dora', but with the news of the 6220 classic, I lost interest.
Pity, because I found the E series to (usually) be of the best quality phones.

Allegedly 8-)
More later. We've had the (alleged) new hardware under NDA and I'll be very glad to spill some (alleged) beans...
Rafe, you were going to do a live feed thing again on the front page?

Eseries day - Monday, 16th
Six hours to go. Nokia are holding a big business-focussed launch today in London and Rafe and I will be here doing interviews and capturing video and photos. We're expecting two new Eseries phones and I'll be publishing an exhaustive review of one of them immediately. Doubtless there will be more than just devices though - watch AAS throughout the day for more.
Read on in the full article.
