ok my dumb question now...I'd look on these boards but I have such bad connectivity today (it lets me through like one in five due to high traffic). I never flashed as I got the device after pr 1.2 so this is all new to me...

I installed nokia pc suite which the details of the update tell me to do and connected the phone via usb to the laptop...

1) if I just follow the instructions, what will I lose? I have lots of pictures and video's that I am going to copy to my pc first, but of course I could miss some...will I lose that? I also spent a lot of time getting custom stuff on my phone such as a desktop that could lock, custom shortcuts for the terminal and the power kernel. will l lose all of these (don't care bout the kernel as I assume I can just reinstall that correct?

also what the heck does this mean? I have the phone plugged in (have not hit the continue yet from the update manager on the phone) and nokia pc suite says "unfortunately you phone is not fuly supported by noika pc suite".

does everybody get this message? I do have an n900 don't I???

thanks and I would look at lots of threads but the site is just too damm slow today...
