I just flashed my SL45 fimware from version 19 to version 52. It now has java and is exactly like SL45i. Anyone know any sites I can get java applications/games etc... for my "new" phone? Thanks in anticipation.

I got it from someone I spoke to on club-siemens forum. He kindly gave me the links to the 2 sites where the firmware is freely available,(version 54 is out there too but didn't put java on my phone for some reason so 52 was safer bet), 1 for the version 52 firmware, the other for the "i" MMC content. It is actually 6688i firmware from what I can make out (6688 is SL45 for asia I believe). Everything works great, its fairly easy to flash using the standard cable/cradle supplied with the phone. If your friend is interested, I will email the links with advice on how to do it. My SL45 is over a year old so out of warranty, if your friends phone is less than a year old, then doing this upgrade will void his warranty!!!

How much does it cost to upgrade the SL45 to "i" I think it read in the mobile magazine that it will cost 50e is it true, I'm not sure because it has been time since I read that

I believe it still costs about 50euros to upgrade sl45 to sl45i

ones

No idea. To upgrade sl45 with latest firmware for that model is free under warranty, but the upgrade to i is not. Strange really.

Dear JohnM I've got a 6688 and it's playing up. Would you be able to send me links to firmware software and firmware updates? I hope you can help
Thanks.
