Nokia, the Finnish cellphone manufacturer has begun delivery of updates to it’s some of its smartphones. The included models that will be receiving the update include the E52, E66 and the E72. Because the E52 and the E72 are very much alike, both devices are receiving the same software version, 053.001, which will contain minor software changes from the previous 051.018 and 052.005 updates respectively.

As of now there is no specific information on what exactly will be included in the actual software update. But, it does seem the update will be available for most, if not all, E52 and E72 users.

Both the E52 and the E72 have User Data Preservation (UDP), which means that during the update process, user data such as files, contacts, etc. will remain in contact. It is however recommended that a backup be done before updating any of the devices for security reasons. Said software update will be released OTA, but users will still be able to update their devices through Nokia’s Ovi Suite PC application.

The E66 is receiving a firmware update that will bump it up from 500.21.009 to v501.21.001. According to tipsters, the update for the E66 will not be initially available for all users though Nokia will be increasing the availability of the firmware update in the not too distant future.

Unfortunately, the E66 does not feature UDP, thus users who are interested in keeping their personal data are advised to back it up before proceeding with the firmware update. As for the update availability of the E66’s update, it will be available through the Ovi Suite PC application or OTA.

As mentioned before, the actual changes which are included in the update are not yet known but within the next few days, this information should become available.
