Nokia have just released a new version of BB Connect for the E61. V6.28 doesn't require the (yet to be released) firmware upgrade. Has anyone tested it yet?
OK, I finally got it installed and working. You have to remove the previous version (losing email with it), reboot and install the new version. My T-Mobile BIS didn't like the idea of re-registering the handheld, and in the end I temporarily registered my old 7100 before returning to the E61.
I can't see any immediate differences - I fancy that it's faster, but can't be sure yet.

That's cool. Normally they won't bother with a version upgrade for earlier model like the nokia 9300 or the TREO. This show some commitment from nokia.
That part I understand, I just did not know if there were more benefits I was missing by not having it installed. I did not see any since I currently use BIS.
