Nokia has now rolled out the v31 firmware update for both the Nokia E52 and the E55. The E52 had received this update earlier this month, while the E55 has just been updated. Both updates include similar changes and are available over-the-air (OTA) if you dial *#0000# in the standby menu and go on to check for updates. The update can be installed without the fear of data loss as both devices support user data preservation (UDP), however a backup is always recommended.
The v31 updates brings bug fixes and optimizations to the device along with updates to pre-installed applications such as Web, Email, Music Store and Maps. It also updates the noise cancellation parameters so you can expect better audio quality while making calls.
The ability to make Sykpe calls is not new to Symbian based devices with clients such as Nimbuzz and Fring being available for a long time, and Fring even offering video chats. But there is something about a native Skype client that makes you use it more.
Skype for Symbian today came out of beta and supports both S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 (e.g. N95, E71) and Feature Pack 2 (e.g. E72, N96, N86) devices along with S60 5th Edition devices like the N97, N97 Mini, Nokia 5800. You can download Skype by visiting skype.com/m from your device’s browser.
With the Skype client you can:
Make free Skype to Skype calls
Chat
Make calls to mobile and landline numbers with Skype out credit
Video calls are not supported yet, but for that you can use Fring!
For a long time now Nokia Messaging has been more than just an email application. Yes, it delivers email from your favourite providers, right into your Nokia device’s inbox, but it is also capable of handling your Social Networks just as easily and even offers integration with your device’s calender and so on.
Events: View upcoming events, birthdays and import to device calendar
Search friends
Click-to-call / click-to-SMS / click-to-FB Email
Here’s a video to explain things a bit better:
So if you have a 5800, N97 or N97 Mini and are already not using this application, we recommend going to the Beta Labs to try this application out. Since it is in beta, you can always give feedback and suggest improvements – which are taken very seriously by the Nokia teams.
The Nokia E72 firmware update version 23.003 is out today.
The E72 does have UDP (User Data Preservation), so while its always a good idea to backup all your data before the firmware update, none of your programs or data should be affected with the update.
Remember you can update using the E72’s OTA (Over-The-Air) feature, or if you prefer you can download Nokia’s Software Updater application to update your E72 on your windows PC.
If there’s no new firmware detected for your device yet, it might be because it hasnt reached your region product code yet, or maybe your device is carrier branded. It should roll out to all product codes eventually though.
Nokia’s Eseries devices have come a long way from being just brilliant workhorses to being awesome at media creation and to an extent consumption as well. The E72 with its 5MP camera and 3.5mm jack for music is a clear demonstration of this, but if you are looking to take the media experience one step ahead, you can always turn to the 3rd party applications.
We love helping you discover great new apps for your device and today we have Kinoma Play for you. Kinoma Play is the world’s first social media browser. It’s all you need to find, play and share video, audio and pictures — whether they’re on your favorite web sites and social networks, your home PC, or your phone.
Here’s a short overview of the very cool “Worldmate” application on the Nokia E72. With Worldmate, you can check out the local and world time, convert currency, and get a timely reminder of the time, and much more !
