Updated e61, now more problems!

Just updated the firmware on my e61....now the number keys don't work when accessing menus (i.e pressing 4 gets tools etc) or when I'm in worldmate - I can't use the currency conversion 'cause I can't enter numbers! How the hell do I fix this..??😡

Hold the blue arrow key and wait for the next update... (it seems to be a software issue because some developers have updated their programs to account for it).

Yeah I discovered I had to hold the blue arrow key.....also didn't realise that I had to re-enter all my email account settings etc - full PC suite backup doesn't appear to capture much other than basic contacts etc.

just tried to clear the packet data counters....asked for an unlock code...used the only one I have on the phone (my start-up lock code) and it doesn't accept it! More f'ing bugs!

I found that the interface its a little bit slower and also i get a lot of sim registration failed since the upgrade.
One thing i liked was the new font whe you send messages it's easier to read
Also when I turn on the phone it doesnt ask me for the phone code, only the pin code

i really want to like this phone but it's still an unbelievably unstable device, even after the firmware update. Not sure how long I can put up with it's hanging and having to reboot just when you need to send/receive that email....!
