New software update – 022.007

Nokia published new software update for the Nokia E72. The new software version is 022.007.

To display current phone software version type  *#0000# or Menu->Ctrl. panel->Phone->Device mgr.

From same screen it’s possible to check if new software available for your phone: Options-> Check for update.

If software update available for your phone just confirm the software update. The software downloads, Phone restarts and then the new version installs. The complete update takes about 5 minutes.

You might find that the new version is not available for your phone. Nokia releases different software versions updates according to region and operator.

The only change I have noticed after upgrading is fixing the contacts key issue. In the old version long press on the contacts key didn’t create new contact like it should.

Found new features or fix after upgrading? Please write in the comments box.

Important notice: Backup phone content before upgrading to the new version.
