Quick and straight to the point, eh GhostDog? 😃

The core OS cannot be upgraded. The 3660 has, and always will have, Symbian OS 6.1. Likewise, the 6600 will always have Symbian OS 7.0s. It is not possible to change this.

You can, however, get firmware updates from authorised Nokia Service Centres to fix bugs. To find out your current firmware, type *#0000#. I don't know the latest firmware for the 3660, but the 3650's is somewhere in the v4.xx region.

Cheers

hmm .. i get it .. so is there a way where i can find the latest firmware and update it my self rather then spend like 50 dhs on it ?

hey j2k dude ..

Just saw ur signature ....

Got a 7650, 3650 or N-Gage? Make it unique.

Theme it. Skin it. Personalise it. - The Themerizer coming soon.

Wuz gona ask abt themes too .. so when u plannin to release ur version ? or any other software out there that could theme a 3660 ?

For now you can try sLauncher or maybe even WildSkinz but i wouldn't reccomend WildSkinz,it has caused a lot of problems for a lot of forum members.

No release date for Themerizer. As ghostdog suggested, for the time being I recommend sLauncher.

Also, as shown in my signature, the themerizer is only designed for the 7650, 3650 and N-Gage (not 3660).

cheers

If your phone is still under warranty (which I presume it will be for the 3660) and you are a club nokia member, upgrades to the firmware *should* be free.

Now, when you take your mobile into one of these authorized service centers what is the charge for updating the firmware (US)?
