It seams to be a good week for Nokia owners as this time the Nokia Eseries range receive firmware updates. Firmware v300.21.012 is now available through Nokia Software Updater for both the Nokia E71 and E66. Considering these devices were on firmware version 210.21.006 we can expect a substantial update.

Major mobile phone manufacturers have signed an agreement to standardise charging ports on all data enabled devices sold in Europe. According to Reuters ten major mobile phone manufacturers including Nokia have agreed to the deal backed by the European Commission.

If you’re travelling, there will be no need to lug around multiple chargers (as many PMP’s also use micro USB), and struggling to find the right charger at your mates house will be a thing of the past.

Today I introduce you a indeed good looking theme by tehkSeven. It’s called Touch (Zen) and works on S60 3rd Edition as well as on S60 5th Edition. I’m also using this theme on my Nokia N97 and 5800 XpressMusic and it looks awesome. There are several icon packs available so that you can find a perfect match for you. Head over to download the theme. This and many other themes are available in our huge theme section as well.

Nokia N97’s firmware just has been updated to version 11.0.021. This is the first firmware update for the flagship device. As v.10.0.012 had a couple of glitches, v.11.0.021 is the first attempt to fix them. The update should be available via the Nokia Software Updater as well as Over the Air. However, this is still not the big update you all have been waiting for so that we need to wait until the big update is coming out. Anyway, the UI is a bit smoother and changing the orientation looks ways better. Further changes can be found below.  However, there are still some glitches in the browser. Currently the firmware isn’t available for all product codes. Read the rest of this entry »
