Nokia E75

Nokia E75

One of the unique E series cell phone, Nokia E75, having a full qwerty slider along with regular keypad is getting a firmware update. Though E75 didn’t get much of a popularity as E71, this cell phone definitely possesses all features which would lure people to get attracted to this device.

Though the firmware has not been declared in all the markets, it has been declared in selected markets. There is no Over the Air update, but the device can be updated via Nokia Software Updater and PC Suite.

The new version is v211.12 and comes with a download of 146MB file which demands good internet connection. We recommend that you back up all your files on your PC via PC Suite and then do the process of software update. Its simple and demands from the user to just follow the on screen instructions carefully.

There are many bug fixes but unfortunately you cannot see them as they are internal fixes. But surely you can feel it in the performance of your device. The update does bring stability and functionality to the device, but it does not have any additional features. All you E75 users, do update us by commenting and letting us know the new features that you come across after updating the firmware of your device;)
