what's the latest firmware avlbl.... wat diff will it make?

thanX

Nothing better to consider. I suggest to stick on 5.0638 for now, as it was the best I've seen.

The latest firmwire version is v5.0705.3.0.1 RM-84
released since 30th Jan 2007

It is always better to switch to a newer firmware as there is less chance of bugs in the new one. Besides that v705 is much more stable and a lot difference between the previous version.

Anyway, here are the main changes that went from v5.0638.3.0.1 to v5.0705.3.0.1 :

- Battery Life improved
- Faster Menu
- Faster Application Switiching
- Music Louder via Speaker
- 18MB FREE Memory on Phone Memory

- Camera Taking Pictures Quicker

- Call logs are now correctly updated for very short call durations.
- Browser correctly handles URL�s that contains Chinese characters.
- MMS Error message is translated correctly into Italian.
- All text strings has been correctly localized.
