Nokia E51 200.34.36 firmware & BlackBerry Connect

So today firmware 200.34.36 came out for the Nokia E51 and I proceeded to immediately upgrade. There still are no release notes available, but I will post them in the comments when they do. So far no news sites have picked up on this release for some reason…
The firmware has to be downloaded via Nokia Software Updater (Windows only).

My main concern after updating??? Does my BlackBerry Connect still work? It does, but I had to uninstall version 7.45.1 and then install version 8.14.1 via Nokia Business Software Downloads in order to get it operational again. The steps to do this for the E51 are to select your region (select Americas), operator (select *Other), Phone (select E90), then download version 8.14.1 of BlackBerry Connect and install it onto your E51. After I re-added my IMEI number into BlackBerry online setup my account was back up and running flawlessly!

Version 200 firmware notes that I have: menu navigation, startup, and application launching and performance all seem faster. Also EDGE speed and web browsing seems much speedier too. I haven’t noticed any other changes except NOT having a single issue of unstable software. My E51 has been running like a champ since the update. So download the firmware and make sure to update BlackBerry connect and you should be good to go. Enjoy!

Israel at 60

This article in last weeks Jerusalem Post, to me shows the hope we have with Israel turning 60 this year. The situation is still precariously grim overall in the Middle Ease, but there is great hope. The argument for Israel as the aboriginal homeland of the Jewish people by Irwin Colter could not be more spot-on to me. It surprises me very much how some people do not understand this relationship of the Jewish people and their homeland still today. Read this article, a truly great piece of writing…
