    If I take my Nokia 8310 to a Nokia service centre in the UK so they can
    update the firmware the will I lose my user settings (profiles, logos,
    ringtones, phone book, etc)?

    How would it cost to have the firmware upgraded privately?

    Yes, it will completly wipe the phone as if it was new, becoming a problem
    again now that more and more people store sms and phone numbers on their
    phone I suppose for capacity reasons.

    You need to back up your numbers (on a piece of paper or a sim card?) logos
    and all the other 'rubbish' well....hmm

    Yes, unfortunately you'll lose it all so back it up before having any work
    done.

    Anywhere between £10-£15.

    As others have mentioned, you'll lose everything not stored on the SIM card.

    If it works perectly ok, why bother having the firmware upgraded?

    Perhaps to be able to use some facility not provided by the old
    firmware..? You don't always wait until something goes wrong before
    upgrading PC software, do you..?

    i was wondering, is updating firmware at a nokia centre free of charge or
    what costs are incurred? as i have the gay faulty screened 7210 which i hear
    can be semi rectified by firmware upgrade.

    I have no idea, I'm not familiar with the 8310..! Ask the OP.

    Quite. However sometimes it's useful to upgrade. Then again, sometimes it
    isn't..!

    The 8310 at one point in its firmware history had a MAJOR bug that would
    quite regularly reboot the phone when trying to send an sms, loosing the sms
    you had just typed. a firmware fix fixed that .. worth doing for that,
    regardless of what else may or may not be wrong ..

    bug fixes are bug fixes .. it might not affect you now, but why wait till it
    does to update it?

    If under waruntee, it is free. Otherwise, I believe there is a small fee
    charged (will vary from country to country)

    Use nokia's website to find your local one, and call em!

    Just in case you were wondering, upgrading the firmware privately will also
    erase the contents of the phone ..
