Update: 17.01.09 - After updating my Nokia E71 to the firmware version 200.21.118, I noticed the GPS software which is based on Telmap (courtesy of Vodafone UK) actually locks much faster. I think it is due to the improvements on the GPRS receiving/ sending signals. Using 3G for 24/7 would last me for two days instead of one day. This is a huge improvements though! Thanks Nokia! I also love the fact that Nokia has done to the calling menu. You will be shown the possible numbers which you want to call by pressing a number. It will appear on your screen just above the calling icon. That is pretty impressive! Way to go Nokia!

Yo! nice to hear from you again. First of all, you need to backup your phone. Then, you need to ensure that your phone is properly charged up. Next, you need to fire up Nokia Software updates while getting your cables plugged into the phone. Follow the prompts and good luck!!!
