Symbian 3.2 Firmware Coming Soon!

With so many new phones coming out, it is easy for phone manufacturers to forget those that are still on "legacy" devices stuck in two year contracts. Not Nokia. They have just announced that Nokia E72 users can look forward to a firmware update including a new browser that will be the same as what will be launched with Symbian Anna. This will allow you to browse the web faster and hopefully improve on some memory errors as well. There has been no announcement as to when this update will be available so if you read this, take out your E72 and press *#0000# and under OPTIONS -> Check for update. Let us know when YOU get it.

Read this on your Nokia

Thanks to our friends in Google, this website is Nokia friendly so come and check it out on your mobile and maybe add a bookmark so you can read up on what's new for E72 fans when you're bored waiting for something or someone. That's all for now.. hopefully we will have a Nokia E6 to talk about soon so keep your eyes open!

While you're here, check out MyE63 or MyN8 websites as well for news about the Nokia E63 and Nokia N8. Or if you are interested in flashbacks, maybe head back to the blog that started it all My Nokia E65. Yeah, that's a lot of blogging. Hope it's helped you out :)

Data Roaming Warning When Changing Phones

Many of us are pretty cluey about how to avoid getting punished by the phone company for rogue data charges. In my case, I get slugged when my 3 connection goes roaming. Some of the things that I make sure on my phone phone is that I do not allow my phone to check emails when roaming. However, when you switch phones, it's easy to drop your guard. Your new touchscreen phone with widgets keep downloading updates from news sites that you will never read, using your internet connection whether or not you are roaming. So this is just a short post to remind everyone to watch their bills and be careful what your phone is doing behind your back.

So what inspired this post? Receiving my 3 phone bill after using a trial phone and discovering a little surprise in my roaming charges.
