Firmware updates for E71 (110.07.127) and E66 (110.07.126)
Published by Rafe Blandford at 15:38 UTC, November 10th 2008
New firmware updates are now available for both the Nokia E71 (110.07.127) and the Nokia E66 (110.07.126). Updated applications include Mail for Exchange and Nokia Maps and there are improvements to the email and settings wizards, performance enhancements for Bluetooth and camera hardware as well as a number of bug fixes.
The updated firmware can be downloaded and installed using the Nokia Software Updater component of PC Suite. You will need to back up your data before proceeding with the new firmware update. If you have encrytped your devices memory card or internal drive you will also need to decrypt these before proceeding with the update.
This is a relatively small update and unless you are having problems may not be worth upgrading.
The updated versions of Nokia Maps and Mail for Exchange are available as stand alone SIS files and can therefore be installed separately. Indeed Mail for Exchange version 2.70 is now available (compared to 2.55 in this firmware).
Here is a link to a full change log (via Symbian Guru) for the Nokia E71 update.

I already updated my E71 to 110.07.127 in Nokia Service Center last friday. Besides having problems when trying to restore my data from memory card (no calendar entries, had to sync it with PC) I CAN NOT switch to silent profile by pressing #-key anymore!!!
Does anyone else have this problem?

My E71-1 is quite fine after I upgraded to 110.07.127, the # works fine for switching between General and Silent pofiles, as earlier. Did you try restarting the phone once?

No update for Sweden? Which countries does this apply to?

No complaints with my E71 so will probably wait for the next update.

No update for the UK E66 either. Not impressed.

I've got a UK sim-free E71 but the updater says I have the latest software: 100.07.76. Does anyone know which versions this update applies to?

I have a Simlock free E71-1 (RM-346). When I try to update, the software comes back with that there is no firmware update available. I'll keep on trying, but I don't understand why there is no firmware as this a completely "free" phone independent of carriers.

It seems both the UK simfree versions of the E66 and E71 do not have updates out yet.
Hopefully its out soon.

-I had the same, and the manual check (using the number under the battery) also said no updates.
after complaining to nokia support 2-3 times (the announced the fw nov.11) they said it must be a "branded phone". I tried again with nokia updater 2 days ago an - yes - it worked.
I think nokia forgot to put the fw on the update server or it was melted down. No official explanation.
