They never released the v210 update for the E71-2 NAM. I hope they release the v300 for NAM. Why are the NAM owners getting shafted. We are investing in the best damned phones in the world and we cannot get firmware updates like the folks in Europe. Personally I would rather be living in Europe or the UK instead of the US for not just the phones but for many other things.

Its available for Nam which is good. the product code 0569371 the update. Many Howardforums members are confirming that update is available . This is good . it seems that Nokia started to support Nam market.

The NAM version that it is available is for product code 0559585.

As usual, nokia forgets users of the best-selling phones, and this reminds me that they did the same with n73. Updates for loads of phones, old ones too, and not for 5800. Shame on you, Nokia!!!

Not *all* NAM E71 product codes are updateable yet. My NAM E71 is not supported with this update.

What about camera sound in silent mode after installing this update? Is it again without sound or sticks with what previous firmware messed?

Just checked and nothing showing up for me. I'm running a vanilla, unbranded E71 from the Regent St shop in London so don't know why it's not showing up. Guess I'll have to wait a little longer (and maybe I can take a look at the change log before I make the swap. Sometimes it's a case of better the devil you know... )

About time too, the last firmware was crap.

Just temporary change the product code to 0559585 and get the update. If you want to, when you are done change it back.

Added an update to the news story talking about some of the changes I've noticed thus far. Perhaps not a big an update as the version number would suggest, but this probably means there's a lot of small bug fixes to make the E71 stable for the final stage of its life cycle.
