Taking The Plunge
Reading Jonathan's blog and his experience of updating the firmware on his N95, I wasn't over confident with having a go and doing my N80. However, it's getting really annoying now, particularly the 5 day delivery SMS message, which Orange say ain't owt to do with them. Their recommendation is update the firmware, and then see if it still takes 5 days for me to receive text off friends. So, having got all the IT working in sync, and enough memory in my main PC, I decided to have a go. And the weather means I'm stuck indoors anyway 
Everything backed up onto memory card, and PC Suite. Quite scary, if only that the USB cable connection isn't the most stable design I've seen for a connector. I guess with miniturisation it's bound to get to a point where the connector will be just too small. And I think it's reached it for the N80. I notice the N95 has a different style of connection, hopefully that doesn't disconnect when the wind blows, or Spitfire jumps up to give me a hand. Owh, and before I forget, it was a staggering 73Mb file 
Can't see much different, other than a few more applications, a new orange coloured icon for the Web app, and a different font for reading text messages. More info on what's what can be found on the Symbian Freak website's firmware page, although I notice reading their forums that the firmware's about to reach version 5!
