thx for the update.

so many technical terms i dont quite understand.

any bug fixes in particular ?

- 2-digit voice mailbox numbers supported (e.g. ?*30?), earlier minimum was 3 or more numbers

Every Nokia suffers from this "problem".
Pretty fucked-up here in Croatia, where police, ambulance and firemen all have 2-digit phone numbers, and then in the papers reporters blamed it on the GSM operator

- Operator name display functionality improved

Now, what the fuck does this mean?! How can you improve operator name display functionality?

Also, I see a lot of "improvements" that are already implemented in 3.45, so I'm a little bit skeptic about this one...

Maybe problem with OP logos and 3G networks!?
Who knows what Nokia cooks

I quite agree with U, all know bugs is already fixed, it seems there is no bug fixed, only some functionality improvements..

Cheers

Yeah, but that is operator logo display functionality, not operator name

[divine]

caller id bug fixed?

Any idea of the new firmware will support using a local LAN via Bluetooth for internet access? This instead of being forced to use only the GPRS link. The phone apparently lacks libraries to do this properly.

I have a Vodafone branded 6630. If I go to a NSC to get the firmware upgraded to this latest version, will they put on a 'Vodafone branded' version (which I *DON'T* want) or just the generic update that I'm looking for?

I don?t now how it is in other countries, but here in Croatia at Official Nokia SC I can make firmware update and turn out of my phone all Operators shi*s (customisations and restrictions) with out any problems, so?

Hope this helps...

Cheers

That depends on service centre policy.
In Croatia, as Apoc said, they flash "clean" firmware, but only because our operators do not brand their phones, for now at least

On the other hand, if I told them that I want vodafone FW, they wouldn't do it, simply because there is no Croatian-localised branded vodafone FW, and they only flash FW that is specific to Croatia.
