The Nokia E71 gets a firmware update to version 400.21.013

Thanks to Gerry over at NokiaAddict, we’ve just heard that the Nokia E71 has gotten a firmware update. The new version is now at v400.21.013.

If you havent gotten the update yet, you’ll just have to wait till the update is rolled out across your part of the world for your device region code. Remember, if your device is product branded, you might have to wait even longer for the update.
