More Firmware Updates - 5800 XpressMusic and E71 NAM

Looks like Nokia is on a roll with firmware updates at the moment. Not only is there an update for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic bumping it up to v.11.0.008, it also comes with a change log, but there is also an update for the Nokia E71 NAM version - one of the quickest we have seen an update swim across the pond, even Michael Phelps would be proud.

Nokia E71 NAM - v200.21.118
The update is available for Nokia E71 NAM version and is the same v200.21.118 released for the EURO version a day ago reports Symbian-Guru. As one of those Nokia advocates who usually has much to say about updates not migrating over, he should be pretty pleased with it now (even still, we don't know why it wasn't released at the same time as the EURO update?)

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic - v.11.0.008
This seems to be a bug fix mostly, without many new features included, it's only right Nokia stabilises the update before adding new features? Norman John of Symbianworld.org reports there isn't much noticeable difference between the last firmware and this latest version.

If you want to give one of these updates a go, you need to head on over to Nokia's Update Service to obtain the necessary software. Remember to back up your devices before attempting any firmware updates. The E71 does not have UDP (user data prevention) support unlike the 5800, but it's always a good idea to backup just in case.
