how much is it to have your 6600's firmware upgraded? mine is v 3.42.1 16-10-03 NHL-10

it's actually free if your phone is under warranty and if you have it updated at nokia care.
the thing is they have not officially released updates for nk6600 here although it's been available
in other countries for sometime. someone pls correct me this is no longer the case.
there are however shops that will do the update for a fee.
but this i think will void your warranty.

i got my 6600 firmware upgrade to 5.27.0 at gizmo-emall...i think i paid 450 for that last july/aug of this year....just tell them taga-istorya ka....

however, i don' think there's a big diff in the performance after the upgrade...the only tangible change i noticed was in composing a new sms message: numbers and not letters are input at the "To:" line...that's all...

but there was a thread here, where u can find a list of what the upgrade does to the phone...it was quite a long list though...just look for it........

N6600 rulezz!!! but i want 6630 for a holiday present!!!!!!! lolz!

OT:
went to semicon yesterday and was very excited to learn that they have v5.27.
left my phone with them for an upgrade. didn't have to pay coz i'm still under warranty.
i left my phone at around 1:30pm and was to told to pick it up at 4pm. fine and dandy.
went back to semicon at around 7:30pm to pick it up but i was told there was
something wrong with my rom and they can't upgrade. i was told that they need
to replace the rom and that i'll have to come back today. well i asked for an assurance
that they'll have my phone ready by 12noon today but they can't give me that.
left their office and was very disappointed. i was thinking, why didn't they just replace the rom?
they had the whole afternoon.

called them at around 11am today to check if they'll be able to finish my phone by 12noon.
guess what? "sir, your phone will need a high level repair and will be sending it to nokia.
you will have to wait 2-3 weeks before you'll get your phone back".
from a simple firmware upgrade, they have managed to messed up a perfectly working phone.
how could that be? are they not an accredited "Nokia Care" center? i mean a two-bit cellshop
could have done a better job. a firmware upgrade is a pretty simple thing to do given you
have the right equipment. at most times it's not even invasive. i know most people here, people
who pride themselves as being geek, with the proper equipment could upgrade any hardware
with one hand tied behind their back.

this is incompetence, pure and simple.
unless anyone could prove it otherwise, this is what i will conclude.

if anyone here is from semicon please prove me wrong.
i can't seem to get a straight answer from you people.
and why can't a customer talk to the technician who did the repair/upgrade?
don't you know how painful it is for a geek to listen to a customer service rep trying to
explain what went wrong? if a customer wishes to speak to a tech person, let them.
btw, my job no is 69586, dated jan 10, 2005.
