Nokia Launches SelfService Upgrades

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/08..._firmware_diy/

It worked on my N70 which seems a little quicker now and plays some DRM MP3s
that it would not before. Very smart, but it does wipe out everything so be
real sure to take a back up.

The only down side is I still have the lovely, lovely Vodafone branding -
Oh, and I need to re-install Opera and FSExplorer and Traffic-tv..... and
get Lemmings again............

Oh well, I'm sure it was a good idea really.........

Wait, were those cells out of waranty? Because I got a free upgrade of my
N80 yesterday. Bought it couple of weeks ago. It was jerky, and started to
have SMS sending problems. Took ages. It's ok now.
