The E75 gets a next-gen update to v201.12.01
Published by Steve Litchfield at 16:04 GMT, December 1st 2009
It has been a long time coming, but the Nokia E75 has now had its first major firmware update, to v201.12.01 (from v110.x). There are new features and a mountain of bug fixes and optimisations - it's an impressive update and I've included a summarised changelog below. It's a 153MB update via NSU and isn't available yet 'over the air' in the UK, possibly because it involves so many changes. Comments welcome on availability in your country.
Changes for Nokia E75 v201.12 firmware:
- Ovi Contacts now integrated
- Facebook, YouTube and MySpace shortcuts in Applications folder (depending on market)
- N-Gage client updated
- Calendar speed improvements and synchronisation bug fixes
- Share online client updated
- Qwerty keyboard optimisations to increase accuracy
- Nokia Messaging client updated
- Contacts speed improvements
- Web update to next-gen browser, v7.1 - faster, smoother
- Overall S60 UI speed improvements
- Quickoffice updated to v5.3, with Office 2007 support (v6.0 Quickoffice Premier is a free upgrade within the app)
This is a major update and a must-install for this popular qwerty smartphone. As ever, there's User Data Preservation, but I'd still recommend backing up to memory card (via File manager) and then wiping (*#7370# on homescreen) and restoring everything bar settings. Trust me, things will run smoother in the long run!

Thanks Nokia for forgetting us 5110 users. When are we going to get a colour touch screen and kinetic scrolling, A-GPS, rocket pack and microwave oven upgrade?

Not yet showing up in NSU in the USA.

On NSU or on device, I'll look out for it.
Anyone know if the messaging update stops the memory leak with exchange?

Not surprising that Nokia UK is giving us the shaft again. Still no v22 for my E55 either via NSU or FOTA.
I like Nokia. But they really ought sack whoever runs Nokia Care UK.

In Italy, too, seems to be unfindable... Where else (english language, too, of course) can I find this new firmware? Hi to all, Gabriele Saudelli

Doesn't switch between apps anymore. Can't see any of the improvements you mention either. I don't mind. But not switching between apps any more is is an epic fail of sorts.
Not a recommended upgrade, according to my book.

I bought E75 yesterday, it came to me from Slovakian T-Mobile, so yes, its branded. But only branded thing I noticed is the small T-Mobile logo on back cover and thats all, so I was more than happy when I was able to update with this latest firmware through FOTA(firmware over the air:)

NSU is still saying there's no updated firmware for me. Does anyone know if I can update from RM-413 to RM-412 after changing product codes? I've been waiting for a new firmware update so I can change the firmware to a different region that has Chinese.

Has anybody found the supposedly integrated Ovi Contacts in v201 yet? I updated an E75 and it was nowhere to be found.
Nor were the Facebook, Youtube & MySpace apps or bookmarks found.

Has the new firmware been pulled already... not available for Euro 1 product codes and Navifirm doesn't show any product codes against it at all! :con?

Voila... So maybe it's also the case for you? (it wasn't for me 2-3 days ago).
Upgraded "on the air", no problem so far...

Still no update available for my NAM unit.
I have no idea why I keep buying Nokia devices, as they simply don't stand behind their products. I think Nokia's message to the North American region is clear-

i like to delete multiple old sms just like i usually do with my E71.
But this time I m using E75 and it just can't select multiple sms by pressing # or shift button, but it does work for selecting emails. does this a problem in other 3rd S60? is it fixed with the new version?
