is it worth it to upgrade firmware on this unit, did anyone notice any significant improvements in reception, or other operation?

If i upgrade the firmware version, will the unlock be destroyed?

Seeing as the phone used to be locked?

if u flash it with generic firmware..then yes it will be~

So if i want it to remain simlock-free ill need a special firmware version? either that or unlock it again?

Posted by: angel_wing0

generic..as in pure nokia firmware as oppose to provider (fido, cingular, att, etc) firmware

Posted by: Tetsuo55

one question remains.

so nokia generic is simlock free

Provider specific firmware has the simlock?

Posted by: angel_wing0

yip..but u can still unlock your phone after u flash it with generic firmware...

hey wait...t mo's ngage are unlocked..althou it has t-mo firmware~
