V551 questions, not in the manual.

i have a V551 and there are some features in the menu that i could not find
precise info about:

1. The Speed is SLOW, what is the deal with the faster or continuous
settings? Do they affect battery life and do they improve reception or call
quality? Is this setting network only, ir it regards the bluetooth
connection as well?

2. Under "Other Information", what is S/W and DSP S/W?

3. I have read about battery save features, but how come they are not
present in my menus, but i do have them in my manual?

4. I have read about the benefits of upgrading the firmware. But where can i
find a list with all these updates and are they provider locked? Do they
differ from Canada to US? From Cingular to Rogers?

5. Anybody know what is the latest flex version for V551 and lastest S/W
version?

thx

S/W= software
DSP=Digital Signal Processor
SLOW refers to the network scanning speed when phone has to find a new GSM
network. Medium is normally the default. It probably almost never has to do
the scanning so don't worry about it.

Since you weren't familar with what S/W and DSP were, have to assume you may
not be technically capable of doing more involved things, particularly
upgrading a phone. If you do something wrong, the phone could be rendered
useless, forever. Or you could have other difficulties with browser or MMS
settings as they may be changed.

In other words, if your phone is working fine, don't mess with it.
