where did you get the firmware update from btw?

symbian-freak.com shows ya how to do it. Thats a grand site cos some of the admins get new phones to test and review so ya know its legit. There is probably a guide on here somewhere aswell. Dont forget to backup your phone memory if you dont wanna lose data ya might want.

There are a lot of guides - what you are looking for is the application that changes the Product Code to a standard retail EU one. Nemesis, I think it is called. Nokia's automatic updater checks the Product Code and if it's for example, a Vodafone Product Code, then it doesn't update as firmware updates are then up to Vodafone to release.
