The Nokia E72 gets v22.007 firmware update

"Thanks to Nokiausers forums member Roberth for the heads up on this firmware update, the E72's very first new firmware, which is currently only available via the Nokia Software Updater, or Ovi Suite.  It was not available OTA (Over The Air) when I tried just now. v022.007 is now the latest available firmware for the Euro model, and at this time, we are unsure if the NAM version of the E72 has the same update available, so if you have a NAM E72, and find out this update is available for your ...

The Nokia N86 gets v21 (minor) firmware update

"The Nokia N86 8MP just got a minor update to v21 firmware. Version 21.006 replaces v20.115 and is, unashamedly, a maintenance release, improving performance further and fixing a number of minor bugs. We might have to wait for an official changelog for this one, but please comment if you can add a specific observation. v21 is 700kb and is now available via Nokia Software Update and over the air on the phone itself in most regions.

We'll keep an eye out for the change-logs and which product versions currently have this...

The Nokia 5530 gets a v20 firmware update

"There are plenty of reports of firmware updates for Nokia smartphones over the last few days from various world regions, watch this space for more. New today (screengrab below) is v20.0.080 for the Nokia 5530 Xpress Music (you know, the smallest S60 5th Edition one), weighing in at 140MB via Nokia Software Update and rolling out Over The Air as I write this. All these Nokia devices should preserve all data, apps and settings, but an extra sync/backup might be a good idea, as usual? Note that "...

Sony Ericsson Satio Gets New Firmware update

Remember those Satio issues we told you about last week? Well it looks like Sony Ericsson has a firmware fix for them and the Satio should be available for sale again in the very near future. Sony Ericsson acknowledged the fact that the Satio’s power-down problem can’t be fixed over the air and a new firmware is definitely needed. On the other hand the Aino is still being sold in SonyStyle stores in the USA so you could simply get that one in case the Satio doesn’t become available very soon. I...

"It has been a long time coming, but the Nokia E75 has now had its first major firmware update, to v201.12.01 (from v110.x). There are new features and a mountain of bug fixes and optimisations - it's an impressive update and I've included a summarised changelog below.
