Why no new firmware for E71 (product code:0569371)

Now, normally I would not care but over the last couple of months everyone keeps blogging about the new firmware for their E71.
I have paid a full price for mine in the US (Newegg) so that I would not be constrained by some provider limitations.
Well, now I find out that everyone else in the world, including the US, but that one product code (0569371) has received their updates, some even two and I am still stuck on the original 1.0 release.
Can anyone one over there at Nokia explains this to me like a 4-year-old, why does Nokia punishes owners of this particular product?

Having exchanged a few polite emails with NA Nokia devission I got this today:
"Nokia is consistently working to improve our product services and realizes the software update is important to you. I regret to inform you, that I do not have a release date for the firmware update to your Nokia E71 device. Please continue to monitor the Nokia Software Updater (NSU) for updates for your device. "
So, I have decided to go on a mission to provide potential North America buyers of the Nokia phones sold in US about the support they can expect. Do I think this will help? I doubt it, but what else can I do? Class action suite?
I frequent these mobile blogs/forums on daily basis: Nokia Phone Blo, nokiAAddict, UberPhones, Mobile Tech Weblog, IntoMobile, MobileCrunch, Symbian-Guru, Mobile88. You can look thre for my ongoing comentary.
Go ahead Nokia, mark this thread as "resolved"

  • New firmware for E61, Product ID 0531059?

    Hello,
    does the NSU just not find the new firmware or is it not released yet? At least a search for that number did not show me any results.
    Thank you!

    Code 0531059 = Vodafone D2.
    No new firmware for this product code yet.
    First use the search to see if your question has already been answered...
    Secondly I will not knowingly assist in breaking the forum rules.
    My information is always changing, what I post at the time is usually true.

    Not quite sure from your post whether E71 still functional upon previous firmware and just fails to update every time that you try; if that is the case it may be easier to find another PC.

  • New firmware for E71 NAM

    Hi, I just checked to see if there was an update for my E71 -2 NAM Product code 0570274 and was wondering if it has been noticed by anyone else. The original version is 100.07.06. The new version is Ver 200.21.118 I am a bit of a chicken with this update stuff so I think I will wait and see what some of the experts do.

    I installed the the 200 firmware a couple of days ago as it eventually became available in the UK through O2. Fair play to O2 it takes them a while but they always release the firmware updates, eventually unlike 3...
    The only problem I have been having is to do with the date. In the 100 firmware if you used Workday alarms the date didn't change correctly when you got to the weekend. To fix this you used everyday alarm instead and just deactivated it when you didn't need it. Now when the alarm goes off the phone advances 2 days!!
    The work around for this is either leave your phone on all the time, which I may do or install a program called 'freetimebox', which a few people say eliminates the problem. Going to try that tonight.
    To be honest I am glad I updated as the camera performance is a lot better. The great thing about this place is that people will normally find work arounds to problems. In my opinion it's always worth upgrading. To date I've had N80, N82 and E71, updated all of them through NSU and never had any problems. By that I mean the phone dying on me or something.....touch wood!

  • V200.34.36 E51 firmware for certain product codes

    Hi all,
    I know there are a lot of new firmware threads going but I figured it would be best to create a new one.

    Does anyone have any idea when the new firmware will be released for this particular product code?
    Thanks!

    If the nokia software updater doesn't allow you to update then your phone is most likely network branded or network locked. Most networks don't bother approving new updates leaving their customers stuck with old firmware.
    If your phone isn't network locked see this faq for more info: http://europe.nokia.com/A4577229#faq35

  • Firmware updates unavailable for most product code...

    Hi,
    it's over a month now that Nokia has released the latest 40.x.x firmware for its 5800 model, or should I say to a small, privilleged amount of customers? I have purchased a Nokia 5800 via Amazon.de, totally unbranded, product code is 0578314, and up to now, the new firmware is unavailable. Why does it take so long for the firmware to become available at least for the unbranded country versions? Technically, there seems to be no problem at all, since many users simply change their product code and install the new firmware, but I am asking here for an official way to get the new firmware in time. The massive delay in firmware updates for different product codes is simply a pain for us paying customers who want the latest features available.

    [quote]
    Actually, Nokia already is using a similar system. If your phone is unbranded, you still have to consider if its a Regional or Country Variant (similar to the SE phones, and the China versions I stated above). There are basically two types of unbranded handsets: regional generic and country variants.
    [/quote]
    This fact is not clearly obvious when you buy a phone, so how does a customer know if he gets a CV (copuntry variant) or any other type of phone before buying? When I bought my unbranded 5800XM, I was still thinking that I get a perfect, free phone, and that firmwareupdates can be applied when available. It was absolutely not apparent to me that I would have to wait three months or so, before I can upgrade my phone to a new firmware, once it becomes available

    If I install new firmware for my Nokia E71 will this unlock the network ?
    so it accept any Sim card ?
    where can I download firmware for this mobile ?
    and is it true that the latest firmware has a bug in it ?

    No, the firmware updates will come from your network, so it would not be unlocked. The firmware is installed via the Ovi Suite software or directly on your phone.

  • New firmware for Nokia C7-00

    After a quick search around, i get completely lost about the right and safe firmware for this phone.
    There are some issues ready to be fixed, so im guessing nokia is working on that. Having that said, i see to many firmwares, to many versions, to many sources, absolutely no oficial news on that.
    Using the phone itself, there are no new updates.....
    Mine:
    Edition: PR1.0
    Soft Version: 012.003
    Version Date: 2010-09-19
    Personalised Version: 012.003.262.02
    Personalised Version Date: 2010-10-08
    Language Set: 012.003.11.01
    Product ID: 059D9Q6
    Model: C7-00
    Type: RM-675
    Last Update: No updates
    Browser Version: 7.2
    Flash Version: 4.0
    Java Version: 2.1
    3 questions:
    a) Is this the latest firmware?
    b) There are some unoficial notices about a 012.004 version. How can i know if its reliable?
    c) Where can i look for new firmware without using my phone to search it?
    Many thanks!

    Thanks steceso,
    Allready seen that page. Like i said, no oficial notices for new firmware for C7...
    Actualy, even i dont input my product code, when i select the phone, immediately i get: There are no software updates available for this product yet
    So, i understand  there is zero releases for this phone, since its exists....
    Hope im wrong.
    Paid big money for a phone who doesnt identify the sms sender.....
    Really frustrating....
