Just when we posted about new firmware being available for the Nokia E66 and E71, another ESeries device got an upgrade, too. It’s the Nokia E51, which with the new software version should be even more faster and reliable to use than ever.

Unfortunately, there is no change log at the moment, so we don’t know what exactly was changed. However, according to Symbian-Freak, users will see some of the applications loading much faster. They mentioned that Nokia Maps 2 is now loading very fast. On the down side, though, Flash Lite 3 isn’t included in the update, meaning you’ll still need a dedicated app to watch YouTube clips.

As always, we advise to have your firmware up to date. Start Nokia Software Updater or Nokia PC Suite and take it from there…

    I believe this wasn't working with previous FW, but now when I access the mobile YouTube site and view a video RealPlayer launches and plays the video.

    Applications do load faster, too!
