V5 software on O2 N70s

Has anyone managed to get the latest firmware installed on an O2 N70 handset?

It's well known that O2 haven't approved any s/w above v3.03456.2.3 but certain Nokia centres will do it for you.

My local centre, Cygnet in Preston will do it but for �15 and say it will invalidate the phone's warranty. They say it clears the Tom Tom bluetooth dropping problem which is why I want an upgrade.

Is it possible to get it done for free or are they right to charge and inform me of the warranty violation?

On a secondary note WHY are O2 not approving firmware upgrades for the N70?

In the same situation here. I want the firmware upgrade to cure the bluetooth issue. I'm assuming that it alters O2's network settings somehow, hense they won't sanction the upgrade.....Pathetic situation if you ask me.
