i installed a compression program and accidently compress some important files on my phone and then couldn't switch it on ever again, i'm taking it to a nokia service center in a minute, they'll also flash my phone so i'll be able to get the latest software, then i'll weep about not backing up my phone

Jump-in here in this thread to share a not funny story 😊

I phoned Nokia Center the other day
"Hello, may I ask what is the current firmware version you have for 7650?"

Answer: "What firmware?... we don't sell firmware..only Nokia phones and accessories"

uh-oh...

😃 😃 😃 😃

This is what i get when i asked vodafone bout their GRPS service

me : is it enough if i applies for 15mb and i just use it for email

Guy: sorry sir i don;t even know how big is 1 MB

and i;m talking to the GPRS specialised customer service

This is my funny recollection of the :agrue: conversation I had with my NSC. 😃

NSC: Good morning! Welcome to Mobitec, this is Mandy speaking.

Me: Hi, can you tell me what the lastest firmware for the Nokia 7650 is available?

NSC: Sorry sir! For which phone?

Me: The Nokia 7650.

NSC: Which phone is that?

Me: Are you being serious? You don't know which phone is the Nokia 7650?

NSC: No sorry. Could you tell me which one that is? And may I remind you, we don't service phones that is not available on the Australian market.

Me: You're kidding me right? The Nokia 7650. You know, the one with the camera. Colour display. It's been out here for 4 months already.

NSC: Oh. Never heard of it. I'll asked our technician about your enquiry about the... ummm.... errr.....????

Me: Firmware.

NSC: Yeah that's it. Can I just put you on hold?

Me: Sure.

NSC: What was that thing called again?

Me: FIRMWARE!!!

NSC: Oh okay. Sorry. What was your name?

Me: Brendon.

NSC: Okay Brendon. Won't be long.

5 mins passes.......

NSC: Okay. Sorry about the wait. Are you still there George?

Me: Err... yeah (thinking to myself, who the fuck is George?)

NSC: Okay. I have Matt on the phone. He's our head Nokia technician. He'll be able to help you with your enquiry.

Me: Cheers.

NSC: Transfering you now.

Me: Cheers

Matt: Allo. This is Matt speaking.

Me: Hi Matt. Can you tell me what is the lastest firmware for the N7650 is?

Matt: Version 3.16

Me: Cool. What enhancements does it have?

Matt: I dunno.

Me: Probably more stable.

Matt: Probably. I dunno mate.

Me: Okay, how long do you need my phone for?

Matt: 7 weeks. It's a very technical procedure. However, we do have loan phones.

Me: Okay. Which phones? Any P800s there? (snicker)

Matt: Ha mate! Waiting for one of those myself. Nope, only N5110

Me: Oh. Ummm... okay. Thanks for your help.

Matt: No worries. Thanks for calling Mobitec.

My suspicion is that Mandy screwed the boss for her job. And Matt got his Nokia Accreditation from the bottom of a cornflake box 😮

7 weeks!! 😃

The nokia flash box flashes in minutes, and only 35 seconds to flash a language !!! (it even says when you wanna buy it) Technicle procedure my @$$! You can download your own firmware right now! I have 4.37 on my pc, it's a 15 meg exe file, but got no flash stuff, guess i'll burn it on a cd and take it to my local *"good service"* NSC! 😃
