Hi guys,

Good News. I managed to speak to a Nokia rep last week and he mentioned that the new firmware for E90 will be coming out in week 38. That would be next week.

I don't know what are the bug fixes. But one thing I know it that after the upgrade, our GPS will support A-GPS ... Booyah! No more long waiting time.

It is a nice new but I have never update a phone before. When updating, all the installed software is lost? if so, is there a way to make a backup of all the apps installed on the phone memory and restore them after update ?

Hi naskit,

You are correct once you do an update, it flashes your phone and you'll lose all the installed software. 2 things you can try:

1. Do a backup using the PC Suite (do not backup phone settings) and once finished update, restore the backup file

2. Do a backup on your memory card. Go to 'Tools' folder and select 'Memory' application. Select 'Options', then select 'Back up phone memory'

I haven't tried to see if the installed software will still be there. So let's just keep our fingers crossed ;)

wooo, dangerus then

It would be good to know what bugs are fixed with that update to see if is worthy or not, anyways I will try this weekend with my fingers crossed as you said.. ;)

thanks!

The new firmware is out now, I have updated my phone but not yet checked the GPS. I'll check it later & tell if it has improved or not.

I've also upgraded the firmware for my E90. There is definitely an improvement with the GPS. Now it's A-GPS supported.

Response seem to be quicker too. But that could be due to the flashing of the firmware which of course wiped out all my previous softwares installed.
