Nokia E61i software updates

e61i software updates

I downloaded and tested a few software updates today: Mail for Exchange 1.6 and BlackBerry Connect 4.0.

Mail for Exchange 1.6 was an easy one. Download, transfer to phone, install, works. Very uneventful. The new version includes support for Nokia E90, adds a few new features and fixes a number of bugs. Please check the release notes. It is still missing a feature I am waiting for: support for access point groups.

BBC 4.0 could have been exciting. It has a number of important enhancements for BES customers, including OTA contacts sync and OTA enterprise activation. However, I could not get it to work with BIS. I was able to register PIN and IMEI. I did receive the CMIME service book, but I could neither receive nor send messages. Maybe I should have waited another 30 minutes. At least I was able to connect, with the Vodafone SIM. With the O2 USIM it tried to connect but failed. As every device since 4.2.1 came out.

"Oh, we changed the way we read the USIM in 4.2.1". That is what the engineer said at CeBIT. RIM knows about the problem, but it does not look like they are going to fix it. I am getting a bit wary of this. Simplicity wins for me. And that is currently MS Direct Push.

Comments

Hi and Thanks for your comments.

I am in Australia using the E61i with BBC and with Vodafone.

It works fine only that I cannot view PDF or TIFF files.

The attachment is there but when downloaded and opened it's just blank.

Acrobat is part of the software packages the phone comes with so I wonder why can't I open such attachments?

Also when I was using Windows mobile on my previous I-mate Jam I could have all the email (and attachments) downloaded and/or saved on the memory card which I cannot do with this phone.

Anyway you can help?

Regards,

Silvio
