Thus I thought it would be a good to move my many contacts and other Outlook data to the memory card where I have plenty of free memory..... BUT how do I do that? I haven't found an option where I can change the default storage path for user data of Intellisync...... Any Idea? surprisingly my google queries do not lead to success:

You need to find the product code for your country. Maybe you can ask/find it in the thread. When the phone is unbranded it can be updated to the latest firmware via Nokia Software Updater. I did this in may and my phone has worked perfect since then. I unbranded my phone following the tutorial in this link http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=344689 .

Has anybody else had any luck with reactivating 3G post upgrade? How did you do it? Thanks in advance.

Got the phone debranded,was hoping for an unlock as well but no joy. Anyhow, the phones much quicker now that 3's crap is not there. Anyway, back to the unlocking issue. Try looking up 'Dejan BB5 Unlock'. Got all the softwares required downloaded a couple of days back. But cant proceed for now coz i dont have a damn DKU-5 data cable!( gave it to a mate ). The procedure wont work if u use a DKU-2 cable...tried it. Will try it this weekend when i get the right cable. Updates later Hey doghouse, I experimented with the same stuff u did in october last year. Got the phone debranded,was hoping for an unlock as well but no joy.

I've decided to attempt it anyway. This is my experimentation with a E61 on the 3 Network in the UK: 0537459 E61 (3 UK Customisation): Crippled web browser (no cursor and website preview); No Network Mode menu under SETTINGS | Network; 3 Logo animation on startup and 3 wallpaper etc... 0538289 E61 UK Country Variant - Keyboard works, and you get a Network Mode menu allowing DUAL MODE, GSM or UMTS. However, the Operator Selection menu vanished! Tons of other software like PTT, Navigator and some other rubbish. 0523307 Euro-A Silver - Keyboard works, you get Network Mode & Operator Selection menus. Otherwise, it seems to be like the UK Country Variant above. Web browser lets you use the cursor and you get tons of other software on the phone. At this stage, I'd suggest the Euro-A Silver firmware. Unfortunately, you'll end up with a load of pre-loaded rubbish which I can't quite figure out what it does. A word of warning: If you backed up your data (Contacts, Text Messages etc...) to your PC using the PC Suite software, when you restore them back to the newly flashed handset, DO NOT restore the "Settings"! Icons and menus vanish and you'll end up with the original 3 UK Customisation but with the Nokia wallpaper. Weird. A HARD RESET (See: http://www.e-series.org/codes/ ) will wipe all your settings & contents and put things back to the "Just Flashed" stage. Unfortunately, changing the firmware DOES NOT remove the SIM LOCK. If anyone has any ideas on how to unlock this handset, please do share it with us. Okay… I’ve decided to attempt it anyway.

I'm trying to remove the branding and get back the DUAL MODE / GSM mode menu. Should I be using: 0538289 E61 UK Country Variant or 0523307 Euro-A Silver ? What are the differences between the two? Are there any problems with the keyboard? Which one give you back the DUAL MODE / GSM / UTMS network mode menu? Thanks in advance! I have a E61 on 3UK, Product Code 0537459.

IT runs on firmware version 3.0633.09.04 Other info reads 20-11-06 RM-89 0523307. I have noticed 2 problems barely 2 days after buying it. 1) Phone reboots when browsing or trying to read sms messages 2) When launching messaging the phone takes exactly 20seconds to display the options/folders ie inbox,outbox,sent,etc. Being in Kenya, i have no option of service centre for Nokia. Has any of you experienced this and does doing a firmware upgrade(if there is a newer version) help. Much Thanks Hi All,
