You cant do a firmware uppgrade yourself, you have to go to your nearest service centre and do that. It should be free.

Well, you can, but you have to buy the T28 service cable (~US$15), buy an account (log) to access a remote server (~US$10 +). You can also buy the entire software (from a different maker) for several hundred US dollar.

And you have a pretty good chance of screwing up the phone as well. Some of the software packages are known to have planted bugs.

...not to mention you will loose your warranty (if you still have one)
If I had all the answers, I wouldn't have any questions.

Yeah I visited those threads too Masseur, and took some timeout to reconsider my original plan. And those threads did help me a lot when I upgraded mine . . .
