n900: not for people who cannot read, or operate a computer.

Seriously - it's amazing this guy finds the community site for maemo, registers, and posts a blazing rant, but he can't figure out how to backup, restore, or go to the actual Nokia support site.

Neat.

We are still left with two problems:

The application software for doing backup/restore doesn't work over UPC 2.0 - only the phone's backup button. Why should I trust it to update the phone's firmware over the same UPC pathway?

While I can see the backup file on a display on the phone, it isn't visible on the PC. Where could it be hiding I ask myself?

One likes a measure of confirmation, confidence and certainty before proceeding. I have updated the firmware in the past without resorting to posts to this forum.

One removes the battery from this phone, and it forgets the date, country, language, etc. I have never met a phone so forgetful.

Hence my concerns.

I have done it before and it has worked - aside from having to resort to an old XP machine to update the firmware for some silly reason.

Why is the new "ovi" splashing software not working on my vista machine, disabling the UPC file transfer function, and making me so mad with the N900?

What do you mean by UPC 2.0? USB 2.0?

Backup folder should be /backup/ right in the root of the N900 USB drive.

Freudian slip - another crappy company - I meant USB 2.0.

No sign of /backup/ right of the root of my PC hard drive (there is no N900 folder on my PC).

I've done a search for "backup" of both my C and D drives with nothing to indicate a backup of my N900 data.

You don't have to move the backup to your computer.
The nokia sw updated doesn't delete the backup.....

I do not have this problem. I just took out the battery, popped it back in, fired her up, and she's fine.

For how long do I need to leave the battery out for this to happen?

Are you saying that the Nokia N900 data is backed up to the Nokia phone storage? And by implication this backup does not get overwritten during a firmware update?
