The serial port is used to burn in firmware in the factory... not sure if it can support additional use.

Or you could walk around with with one of these Rogers "Portable Internet" Wimax modems strapped to your back :)

Ok, needs flasher to enable, but you have to have flasher to update image to OS2008.25, anyway. And it's a new battery cover; it could cover a new battery. :cool: It could be the greatest thing since microSD and fixed internal memory...

Edit: Tex, it's used as a serial console by the excitable lads doing things likely to break startup.

It affects battery life because in the device there is no grounding, so it is likely to have an irq storm.
Also level shifters are missing. However the pads are probably the most easily accessible part of the interiors.

I assumed the luser-friendly Wiindows tool was just a cross-compile of the Linux flasher, wrapped in a pretty shell, so it could do it. But I suppose the image format does not contain flags to indicate add'l changes, so it couldn't just be pushed as a new OS image.


Igor, you saying there'd be no substantial battery drain from the serial con if you put a pull-up/down on rx? (When not in use, of course.)

And hopefully this will lead to Sprint and the smaller CDMA carriers following suit (MetroPCS, Cricket, etc.).
The thing is, right now Nokia doesn't even really make any CDMA phones. (Any that have Nokia's logo on them are ODM units made by other manufacturers, or units that were designed at least a year and a half ago, as far as I know.) Their sole CDMA R&D center (in San Diego) laid off 1/3-1/2 of its employees about a year and a half ago and switched to working on GSM phones. So I'd be really shocked to see them put 1xEVDO into an internet table.
