does anyone know where i can get my hands on a n80 that will be able to accept the new v4 firmware? i have just bought(and returned) my third n80 that wont accept this firmware upgrade,im led to believe that its the phones in this country (uk) that are behind as they told me at the service centre that europe have a version for my product code but not the uk???im looking for this version as i have navicore personal 2006 i would like to use with it but i cant find a phone that will accept this firmware anywhere!! nokia wont use a generic version for some reason,they say my phones wont accept it! please help!!!!!!!!! thanks
n80 firmware
Do you mean that the shop or service center told you that a UK n80 cannot load the latest firmware? This is incorrect.
I have v4 running on my UK N80.
So I would ask the service center again.
Or you can do it yourself if you follow instructions in this thread:

Thats how I did mine.
thanks for your reply,im not to sure whats going on but they said its something to do with the product code?? im not really very competent with all this so not sure doing it myself is such a good idea! one thing i do know is im having a mare trying to sort this out!
just looked at the link you sent me and its not the version i need,i need v 4 not 3 i have 3 already,cheers
Maybe you should try another service center.
The network providers have their own modified versions (with all their logos and other crap) of the generic firmware and they are usually slow to move to the latest version of firmware available. Maybe that is what they mean.
Generic = V4.0623.0.41 - 26-07-2006 - RM-92
Three = V3.0618.0.2 - 23-05-2006 RM-92
Orange = v3.0617.06 - 03.05.2006. RM-92
Vodafone = V3.0617.0.6 - 03-05-2006 RM-92
O2 = v3.0617.0.6 - 03 May 06 RM-92 RM92
So ask the service center to load the generic firmware, not the provider one.
After they do that, then in the Tools menu use the Settings Wizard to select your provider and it automagically loads the right settings.

You can use those instructions to load the v4 firmware.
See http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum//forum/thread/49979/ for lots of details
i have a sim free phone, it is not linked to any network so should not have any restrictions at all, i think i might try a different service center. i just paid top price for it! so you think it might be the people at the service centre then?
