Hi all,

Seems Nokia is on a roll today, there is updates for everything;

Nokia PC Suite
Nokia OVI Maps
Nokia firmware (for E71) that is 120MB!

Make backups of your stuff, it basically flashes your phone but does not tell you it's going to kill everything ON the phone too! (Just happened on my bosses E71!)

I'm hoping ZYB should retrieve the contacts! :)
 
Whatever you do, DON`T update firmware on a Nokia....

New firmware gives new features, boosts performance and fixes bugs.

Well I agree you can certainly CHOOSE to upgrade or not (if you happy with your phone, you don't have to), I wouldn't say "don't update".
 
When you upgrade any devices firmware, you always do a backup of your contacts and everything else. It's common knowledge.

True, but on my Nokia 6300, I updated the software, I think 3 times, all times I never did backups, phone never lost anything after the software upgrades... so being Nokia (different phone) I just assumed it would be the same...
 
The only reason you'd not want to do a firmware upgrade is if you have hacked your phone.

With my N82 now you can also do updates without losing all your data. I thought this was now the case with all Nokias. Obviously not.
 
Just recieved an OVI update notice through PC Suite, anyone using this and is it worth the download? What can you do with it?

The program itself (OVI) CHEWS your PC to death so while it's open, your PC struggles (not the same with PC Suite) but other than that, it's ok.
