Eseries

UPDATED WITH LIST OF CHANGES BELOW THE FOLD: 

There is a new firmware available for Nokia E61i. There is nothing about the firmware on Nokia's device software update page yet, but the software is available when using Nokia Software Updater. The new firwmare version is 2.0633.65.01  

It is important to note that availability of new device firmware depends on a number of factors. Region, language and of course carrier version are variables that influence when new firmware is available.

My Nokia E61i is a non-carrier branded version, the unlocked plain version, and when I tried NSU there was new software available.

Here are a few changes that I have noticed. Please feel free to point out more changes that you have come across:

Predictive text input:

This one is strange. This feature shows up but I couldn't get it to work. Has anyone been able to enable this? I really like the idea of having predictive text as a feature even on a QWERTY device.

Improvements to calendar layout:

The calendar can now display the week number or the week dates in the month view.

Thanks to Risotto for pointing out that BlackBerry Connect 4.0 also is available for Nokia E61i. Since I am not a BlackBerry Connect user I tend to focus on Mail For Exchange.

However, I know that there are a number of Eseries users who are also loyal BlackBerry Connect users. Rejoice - BBC 4.0 has arrived.

Among the new features of BBC 4.0 for Nokia Eseries are:

• Over The Air Enterprise activation
• OTA Contacts Sync
• Pin to Pin message (receiving)
• Email filters and signature
• Out of office message
• Attachment Viewer updates for pictures

Nokia E90 will be the first device smartphone to support BlackBerry Connect 4.0

According to the source, BlackBerry Connect 4.0 adds the ability to generate an encryption key wirelessly, wireless activation of a device in the enterprise, AES in addition to Triple Data Encryption Standard (DES), Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese language support, and the ability to erase and disable a BlackBerry-enabled device.
