Be careful man, 5610 rm-358 and rm-359 are symbian phones, 5610 rm-242 and rm-279 arent symbian.. Then never try to install firmware rm-242 or rm-279 to your phone, you could kill it.
1) I'm not sure the information about symbian/non-symbian phones above is accurate. My understanding is that S60 phones are "symbian" and all 5610s are S40v5.
2) So when I unbranded my 5300 with NSS, *any* change in the product code resulted in the phone reporting itself (*#0000#) as RM146 instead of the original RM147, even prior to using NSU to look for new firmware. Application access switched from not allowed to allowed at this step. Then NSU found a RM146 firmware (with a higher version number) and flashed the phone.
I would expect that changing the the product code of my 5610 to "0515123 06.60 EURO_A, Latin, Sakura_Red" would result, similarly, in the phone reporting itself as RM-242 instead of RM-359. It doesn't. I would also expect application access would switchfrom not allowed to allowed at this step. It doesn't. Perhaps something has changed with the RM-359 T-mobile 5610 so that an NSS product code change now isn't sufficient to trick the phone into thinking it is a different version of the phone.
Since the current firmware version for "0515123 06.60 EURO_A, Latin, Sakura_Red" is 6.60 and is higher than my current firmware (5.92) I would expect by changing the product code to 0515123 that NSU would read the product code assume the phone is a RM-242 and flash. Instead it reports the phone as a RM-359.
I've seen some other forum discussion on newer nokias that an NSS product code change now might not be sufficient to trick the phone into thinking it is a different version of the phone.
Anyone have any experience with this? Am I missing something?

Anybody have any advice, warnings, thoughts?
Is the RM-242 going to brick my RM-359 phone? Is phoenix the right tool?

Yeah, please keep us informed...I used to use Diego to mod my CDMA Nokias, and it was very painless to deal with. I'd love to see some success with the newer GSM models...

Sorry 5610 fans. I had 14 days to return the phone and I couldn't solve the application access problem in that time. Never got phoenix to install right in vista.
I liked the phone and will probably get it again if a workaround is found.
