I have been waiting for a month and waiting for the sw upgrade for my 7650. Currently my set can only read english n filipino .... I needed chinese character recognition and better still with chinese input... when is this forthcoming? Any idea?

I will ask Nokia about it tomorrow.

Anyway i think N7650 can not read or write chinese text due to hardware setting (my guess), can be right or wrong.

As for N7110, if you are very detail, you can see some chinese character on each key pad and not in N7650.

Let me ask them and get back to you.

Good news! Just had my unit updraded to the chinese version. Just to let you guys know that after upgrading to chinese, you will no longer have english T9 input capability. On the other hand, you can read and input chinese for messaging and contacts.

p.s I think the warranty will be void after upgrading i to chinese since it was not done by authorise service center. I just couldn't wait any longer.
btw, those of u using gprs to check email and surfing, make sure to check the charges from your operator. I just got my bill for last month. GPRS charges alone cost me RM295. :cry:

I have include sample of screen capture.

Old version 3.12. New version 4.12
