New Nokia, Old Firmware !!

10 replies · 5,649 views · Started 08 May 2003

Hi guys,
Just thought u might like 2 know this.

My girlfriend recently bought herself a Sharp GX-10, but when she saw what i was doing with my 7650 and all the cool stuff i'd downloaded, plus the fact i could use Bluetooth 2 transfer everything across, unlike the BT'less Sharp, she decided 2 go and change it 4 a 7650 (sensible girl).

Anyway, she came home 2nite, and i checked the handset over and checked the firmware. Surprisingly, it's still got v3.12....i couldn't believe it. After the problems i had with v3.12 and all the reports on here, i told her 2 go get it flashed, only 2 find that my local NSC has now stopped being an NSC. The nearest 1 is now 20 miles or more away.

Surely Nokia should b selling new handsets with the latest firmware, not only so that users don't have 2 take it back once it's crashed, but surely it would save them a lot of time and money ?

So come on Nokia, sort it out !! :evil:

1 other thing.....Club Nokia told me that the dusty screen issue is not covered by the warranty, even tho' they cleaned mine out a few months back when mine crashed due 2 v3.12 ! Surely the fact that dust gets under the screen is a major design fault, therefore should b covered by the warranty ?

Again, sort it Nokia !!! :evil:

There, feel better after that rant :roll:

Rob.

P.S My girlfriend has just told me that her 7650 just crashed whilst trying 2 download a game.....v3.12 strikes again, and the phone is only a few hours old !!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

yeah the gx10... ugh... flatmate had one for free cos she worked for vodafone.. but yeah... cheap plasticy and useless camera.. waste of money.

I would say the blame lies with the network provider as opposed to Nokia. Remember the networks won't replace a faulty phone with a brand new one if still under warranty, they use refurbished models as replacements... spruced up to look new.

Maybe that's what happened to your gf?

Either-way, I'd get the phone flashed asap.

Heh having said that, I'm still running 3.16 :P

But how do I go about checking what firmware version my 7650 is ?

And for your info.......

Type #JUMPED-UP-STUDENT# Into your 7650.... and then Shove the FUC**** Phone up your Arse!

It was a simple question, And did'nt warrant your pathetic reply!

Hmm.. Sorry for interrupting.

Where does your GF bought the Nokia from? The network provider? A shop? or directly via Nokia Shop?

If its not bought directly via Nokia, its possible that the handset is stocked by the network provider or the shops... that's why is not having the most updated firmware.
