Evening people,
just registered so here is my 1st post, i have done a lot of looking around & it seem that a lot of people in the UK now have the update yet i do not.
I have the Voda 205 version & am constantly checking for the update on the app manager but no joy.
I'm on the verge of flashing (the phone) but thought i would check here first if anyone knows anything that may help meas to why i have no update.
Many thanks
version 2.2009.51-1.205.1

Decided to go Global
Had enough of waiting for Voda to pull their fingers out of their rear

If i do decide to flash it will that definately mean that i will get updates along with the rest of the world?
As a side note i do wish they would hurry up & sort out the OVI store as i need to get the full angry birds version.

After flashing, my understanding is that you will get Nokia updates through SSU just as you would have before, except you'll get the ones the lucky people everywhere else get, rather than being limited to UK-specific ones.

Dumb n00b question time -
If I use:
1. Use the backup utility to back everything up
2. Flash my UK Vodafone model with global firmware
Then am I able to restore the backup and get my settings, installed apps and contacts back?
I haven't played with backup and restore so I don't yet jknow what exactly it backs up or restores.
Oh and also, is it going to work from win 7 64 bit? I have ultimate so it's supposed to emulate XP pretty well...

No, this does not work with 64-bit windows 7. See previous entries in this thread.

Internet radio via my wifi, seems much more stable.
and navigating via the hilden interface with just the finger seems much better now... it seems to detect the control under the finger much better, for example if you open the google web page and touch the small(no zoom) edit field or small(no zoom) button area actually works(before it seemed to have needed to zoom in or place the nail right on the control to activate it).
On a down side I think battery life is not lasting as long now... but maybe has something to do with some rogue process running in the background.
FYI, the battery drains for me since the symbian days have always have been gps/assisted network position/bluetooth and for some wifi or 3G.
For me, I use both 3g and wifi so I keep these 2 turned on always.
