Iron Man

Can't wait for June to arrive... this movie is looking good. Since they used a blue screen - the effects of this might be just as good as Star Wars.

how to change your phone's firmware:

Before upgrading your phone, as mentioned here, you can also change other things too. Like make it have another language... for make it silent, meaning to take out that camera shutter sound. If this is the case - you will need to download and install NSS.

Download it from here .... then install it.
http://www.b-phreaks.co.uk/NSSDownloadLanding.htm

Just follow the ff steps. (steps taken from upgrading an N73)

1) After installing NSS.... connect your phone to your PC. Choose "PC Suite" mode on your phone. (so that your PC can "see" or detect your phone).
2) Start NSS.
3) Push the button "Scan for new device"
4) Go to Phone Info screen. Check and enable the product code box in the right corner. Change the number there to N73 ME product code number 0539343 for APAC 1 -> Chinese, English and copy that number into that product code box and then click that enable box. (note your original N73 product code up, in case if you need it again). Then click WRITE, and in few seconds click READ, and you'll see that your phones product code has changed.
5) Then exit NSS, disconnect your phone, then connect it again ... start NSU this time, and follow the steps. (to upgrade your phone).

You will now have an upgraded phone with a different regional product code.

cheers!

how to upgrade your phone's firmware (nokia):

mmm... this has been asked a lot of times in forums, chatrooms, and by my friends... so maybe it wont be so bad if i posted the steps or "how to's" here.

The info that I have gathered here are from various sites/blogs - I take no credit in inventing or creating them coz I didn't, hehehe...

In any case, please note that this is a "do it at your own risk" procedure ok? I have done this a couple of times before, with different phones, and its been successful everytime. But still, there is a possibility that you might end up "bricking" your phone and ending up with an expensive paperweight. For example, if the connection to the phone and PC were suddenly interrupted or broken - while in the middle of the upgrade, that could be bad indeed. Anyway, if this happens you will require some nokia servicing to restore it, or a visit to the nearest cellphone repair shop.


Guide:

1. Ensure that you have installed the Nokia PC Suite (on the CD supplied with the phone or downloaded from the nokia site), on your PC. It should be a working app - meaning that you've used it at least once... this means that your phone had been 'detected' and had successfully sync'd with your PC before. But do not connect your phone to your PC just yet - just go to number 2.

2. You should also have the Nokia Software Updater (NSU) installed.
Download it from here: http://europe.nokia.com/A4176089 This is the software you will use to upgrade your phone. An active internet connection is also needed - since the NSU will check your phone and download the appropriate software from the nokia site, during the upgrading.

3. After installing the NSU... connect your phone (via the data cable), then begin upgrading your phone's software. If you encounter a 'phone is not supported' message - this means that your version of the NSU is not up-to-date, just go to the nokia site and download the very latest one.

4. That's about it... just follow the instructions, and upgrade your phone. It will tell you what phone you have and it will automatically download the firmware.

cheers!
