New e61 Firmware

[entrapped?]

as far as i have seen there are the apac and emea versions of the phone, but the keypads are only different as to what is written on them. they are all just buttons underneath. if you change the product code it changes what keypad the phone thinks is on it and will change what you do when you press a key. cnn.cn has different keypads and you can put a different one on your phone.

My guess is that gregh2000 is saying he sent his to them to be "un-bricked," as they likely have the proper equipment to rectify a bricked phone. Pure conjecture on my part, but that is my read on his post.

when my e61 got messed up i had to take the battery out, then press and hold the green+*+3 and power then slide the battery back in and keep holding it until it boots. mine was getting stuck at the nokia screen this time. when i went from v1 to v2 it got stuck at a white led and that was it. that time i had to send it to iunlock for repair.

I had no data on there to lose (brand new phone) but i lost my additional cities (SF, London, Delhi) on the clock.

Any ideas on how to make the keypad match the firmware (or vice versa)?

[turtleseeker]

Just did a little playing around with the new firmware and NO, they did not fix that stupid shift key issue . At least not when surfing the web anyways. But I did notice that the webpages seem to load a bit faster and the phone seems a little faster overall. more to come as I play with the new firmware.....
