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?

No, it does not. Because Starfleet has not released UPC 2.0 technology for use by the common public.

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?

If you can see it on the "phone", why do you call it hidden? Do you know how to copy/paste from a device to another?

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 likes a measure of computer skills before declaring a device faulty. Or a software suite. "Getting worse every day" You mean they update the software every day and make it worse than the day before? Curious. I have not noticed such.

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 never met a user so disagreeable. Did you even take the time to read your post before submitting it?

As an addendum and only partially related to the problems of the OP: Vista was a mistake Microsoft tried to correct by releasing 7 as fast as they could. I used Vista for only a couple of months, and would like to forget about it. I do not know whether Vista has the following option or not, but in Windows 7, you can right click on any program's icon and select Troubleshoot Compatibility from the menu that comes up to ensure that Windows 7 runs it as a different version of Windows would. As the version it was designed for would. If you use that, the Nokia Suite works very well indeed under Windows 7. I installed it that way, I do not know whether more recent versions even require this to be done.

Instead of the inflammatory title you chose for your thread, I suggest renaming it to something more accurate, like: "Help! New user trying to find out how to use this device properly!"

Previous posts proved YOUR problems lie with the user and not with the device. I hope you acknowledge that fact by removing your unmerited complaints from this forum, because titles like the one you chose for your post can be discouraging.
