How's all the voting going?

I heard on the radio that one of the IEC peeps at KZN has been taken by the police for questioning after he was suspected for foul play

Ye a format always helps, i had to format both phone mem and mem card as well as recondition my battery, after not being charged for a month it was screwed, i was getting terrible batt life between Saturday nite and Monday so reconditioned the batt by charging it half way,using it up, half way again,using it up then full charge, its back to the way it was before now.
With the new V21.0.010 fw have you noticed that the phone tends to refresh itself often, it has these little moments of a quick freeze unfreeze, as if its updating something or loading something in the system, its not annoying since they happen so quickly and dont realy affect the performance but its just weird, only notice this when the transition effects are off though. Does it happen to yours?

Gucci,
That ad was kak funny, i couldn't stop laughing,
Iv only noticed that lil freeze once or twice. When it happened im hoping its not gonna freeze and crash, thats what always happened with the v20, so im just happy it doesnt crash when that happens. But this firmware's start up and shut down is so fast! I was quite amazed at it. Other than that i haven't noticed much difference between the firmwares, im just happy the crashing is sorted out.

Mh, impressive, I guess speed is the only main thing that can be improved with Bluetooth. Then I guess that would give rise to new applications. Only a handful though...

I simply cant see myself bothering with updating my software myself, will have to take it to an authorized nokia repair center and have it done.

Ye,Rhino, dont incovenience yourself, it doesnt take that long,plus Nokia Software Updater is in the PC Suite disk,so you can just install and run the update, should take at the most 45mins if you're using a standard 3G connection.

Only worrying part is after the update is done downloading and starts doing the update, ive updated my N80 once, N81 4times and my K850 twice, never had a failed update, its very rare, unless you have a very unreliable PC, you shouldnt worry, but if it realy is THAT stressful,take it in.

For me it takes more time, hassle and money to get to the official walk-in Nokia repair centre in central London for something I can do by following on-screen prompts n' procedures. Plus there's the worry of the thing picking up any marks from someone less sentimental handling the thing at the shop/centre.

Nah, updating firmware is pretty easy once getting over the inexperienced-fueled fears of making a terminal cock-up in the firmware update procedure/s, and with a flat-rate broadbrand it's a no-brainer for me. Sure, I was nervous the first time I updated firmware, that's normal.
But it's just become another procedure now.
