Well this is annoying.

Looks as if I'll be flashing to 203 or other unbranded firmware this evening.

The whole reason for waiting for a UK released phone was to make sure I had a valid warranty. I think I wasted my time and should have purchased from the US.

BTW, I debranded my old n96 and still had a repair under warranty at a nokia uk care point. So I'll take my chances.
