hi all looks like this update provides some joy from those of us who were previously unloved in the region sense
can now set the device up as region English (Australia) not too sure what this entails just yet

I think it's basically the phone switching off and then it starts up again trying to boot and the cycle repeats.

Some people recommended charging the battery in another phone, which I did, but that changed nothing. In the end I was able to flash via USB (Windows XP). I realise you've already tried this and it didn't even work, so not sure what to suggest. I just wanted to say that I don't think your phone/battery is charging in the current state it's in.

No i dont think its charging. But hey, what else can I do right now! ...

We can only suggest that you wait until Nokia actually release the UK firmware
