Hey I was wondering if it was possible to flash the T616 with the new T610 firmware? Has anyone tried or is it even possible?

Thanks for the links. Originally, all I wanted was faster java and better pics but if the threads on the link suggesting that flashing the t610 firmware on a t616 will change the 850Mhz to 900Mhz, then that will be my third reason for trying! If it all works then I will have a real world phone! as oppose to this only in the Americas world phone.
