can anyone help me? i have never upgraded my firmware on my n80 before but now you can do it on the nokia site i thought i`d give it a go. my phone has v3.0614.0.3 and is on orange when i tried to update the phone its says there are no updates but i thought there was a version 4 available. i know orange have discontinued the n80 is this why it wont update?
firmware on orange
Yup thats exactly why. For all the good it will do I have sent them this email:
Hi,
I currently have a Nokia N80 from yourselves which I have had no end of troubles with since upgrading to it. Now having done some digging online I have discovered that it is down to the firmware currently installed in my phone. My main problem is that I am unable to use any GPS Satnav software due to there being a problem with Bluetooth on the N80 in that it will keep losing connection with the Bluetooth GPS receiver. It has been proven that updating the N80 to the latest V4.0623.0.41 firmware will cure this issue.
Now, this is all well and good IF the firmware update was actually available for Orange branded phones. Although Nokia does offer Firmware updates online via their website they DO NOT offer it for Orange branded N80s, having contacted Nokia they say that when a firmware is released that the networks customise the firmware for release to their customers and Orange have chosen not to do this as they have now discontinued sale of them (is this true?). I asked if my phone could be updated with a generic none branded firmware and they said that although it is technically possible unfortunately no service centre is authorised to do so.
When I contacted Orange customer services regarding this issue they told me that Orange has nothing to do with firmware updates for phones and that any branding is installed via software not integrated into the firmware (completely contradicting Nokia). So who is correct?
Which leaves me in a position with no options. Nokia will not update the firmware as they have no Orange branded version and Orange denies all knowledge of any such issue and says to take it up with Nokia?
So I have a phone which is faulty as admitted by Nokia by the release of the new firmware addressing the issue, but cannot update the phone due to the network it's on, and a network who refuses to offer any support for fixing the problem with the phone they provided.
So what do I do?
I look forward to your response in hope of some resolution.
