According to Nokia, you'll be left with a phone with no cellular capability.

The early testers of 51-1 were told not to flash back to previous firmware for this reason.
Nokia has warned, huh?

Well, they didn't warn me.

And personally, even after taking a few very deep breaths upon reading your post, I am very p.o.'d.

Once again this proves that Nokia still has very much to learn about professional software development. Information like this belongs into real release notes that are provided before an update is installed, so that the customer can make an informed decision on whether or not to go for an update, since essentially there is no chance to back out again.

Not providing this kind of information up front can only be considered major disrespect for the customer.

So, anybody know who to complain to and willing to tell me?

Regards,

Chris.
