Update Nokia E63 Software / firmware

Nokia E63 was launched in 2009. With querty keypad, good display and stable software it is considered one the good selling product of E series. To get the firmware version of your Nokia phone dial *#0000#*. Currently firmware version 510.21.010 is available for update.

What is new in new version
Documentation for new features is not available however after the update i have noticed the improved Nokia Email. And may be a little better battery performance.

Important points for update

There are couple of points that may save you from post update hassle.

• Backup all your data. Updating the firmware would erase all the data from phone and memory card. It also includes SMS, address book, notes etc. 
• Use OVI suit instead of Nokia PC suite. 

Update with PC suit may lead you to a situation where you would be asked for a previous phone code. It is the code that you set last time as phone code, then disabled the code check and forgot it. Update may be around 100 MB.   

Post Update

Cell phone is restarted at the end of a successful update. Now restore your data backup and preferences.
