yea, hate to break it to you, but the e62 doesn't have the hardware for umts or hsdpa so no software upgrade is gonna fix that.

Actually the E62 has a UMTS radio but it is on the 2100MHz spectrum rather than the 850/1900MHz spectrum.

I do not know if a firmware update could change that(highly doubt it).

I went from a E62 to a Blackjack, I think the Blackjack beats the E62 in almost every way. Size is much better and it does not feel like a calculator against my head. 3G on the BJ is great. E62 is slow and I did not like the keyboard, I had a much harder time typing on it. E62 is very nicely styled and finished, better than the BJ. I had a hard time selling the E62 even though I would probably never use it. For me, the Blackjack is a great phone, one of the best I have had.

How do you tell what firmware you have and how do you upgrade? Thanks from a E62 newbie..........
