  So after the update you can restore your settings, contacts, calendar, etc from a memory card backup. But yes, you will need to reinstall almost all of your 3rd party apps (also bluetooth paired devices for some reason).

  But i got this msg on the Nokia Updater site:

  Version: 150.34.15

  Compare numbers
  If this version is greater than your current software version, update now to get the latest features, applications and improvements. Go to Nokia Software Updater download

  Not sure about the crashing issues people are having, just make sure you have the latest version of Nokia Software Updater and try from there… Battery life for me was not bad considering the alternatives. Now I have moved on to a BlackBerry though, so my S60 days are done.

  Well done Skub…. I just upgraded to version 2 of the firmware only to find my BB Connect would not work… but after reading your advice I downloaded the newer 8.14.1 version instead of the 7.45.1 that I used to use and it worked a treat… I am back in Nokia Blackberry land again. Yipeee..

  If anyone else is having issues with installing BB Connect just follow Skub’s advice I can vouch for it working well.

  And it seems a little faster now as well ;o)

  Much thanks to everyone that this post has helped getting the latest Blackberry Connect running on your E51’s. I have since switched to a BlackBerry, but will continue on…

  I know on AT&T you have to have BlackBerry service activated FIRST and then wait for the device to generate the PIN…

  I have moved on to the new Nokia E71 now and what a great phone, good battery life and feature rich, however Nokia in there wisdom have made it so that BB connect will not go on it, so unless they unblock the software in the firmware it looks like I will have to use the Microsoft Activesync for Exchange, which I must say works as well as the BB connect software, the other advantage is that now my calander and tasks & contacts are also updated and linked, I can also send pictures as attachments, which the BB connect did not allow.

  So for those die hards that are still trying to use the BB connect on a Nokia device, I would say to them try the Activesync for Exchange if you have the option as it works very well and can do more than the BB connect, the BB connect does format the email display far better though, but this is a small price to pay for the extra functionality you will gain.

  I thought it was going to be a right pigs ear to setup, however if you have Exchange 2003 or 2007 in your organisation it is so simple a 5 year old could do it, and as a spin off I have other devices using it as well now like my iPod Touch etc.

  let me know if you want any guidance for the under 5’s ;o)

  Hello all, I’m note sure why there are random successes/problems getting this to work properly… I’ve since long moved on to a blackberry device so cannot confirm additional testing on problem issues…
