The Nokia E72 has got it’s first firmware update since its public launch. There’s a new firmware update to version 22.007. Although the SW Update app on the phone indicates that a new phone software is available, one cannot update the firmware Over the Air ( FOTA) . You need to use Nokia Software Updater (NSU) to get the job done.While there is no official changelog as of now, looks like this is an update to fix some bugs and performance related issues.
Although the E72 supports UDP or User Data Preservation its highly recommended to take a backup before proceeding with the update. We are not taking a chance !
We would love to update the firmware Over the Air and avoid downloading some 160 MB of data and trouble our networks. Although the E75 had some issues one being dismal battery life, it was a breeze to update the firmware on the E75 over the air.
Although the E72 supports FOTA . looks like the rollout through that channel is slower than NSU.
