It is now possible to upgade Nokia N70 to ver. 5.0705.3.0.1 using Nokia Software Updater..hehe

It have tried but failed. The reason is that mine is a N70ME. The latest version is only applicable for N70 i guess.

The best part is,,the phone memory is reduced from 22mb to 19 mb. Why is it???

I would call this as worst part. 3 MB is lost. Except this, I don't see any difference.

b/w my phone hangs when I go to the Themes menu for 20 seconds. It wasn't happening in the older firmwares. Anyone having this problem?

Just try it now i already done flashing with it a few minute ago

Here the screenshot

Tutorial that will teach you how to update your phone’s firmware to a Nokia original

Here’s a tutorial that will teach you how to update your phone’s firmware to a Nokia original version (without your operator’s personalization) with NSU (Nokia Software Update – the official Nokia program).
NSU reads the product code of your phone and it searches its database for a newer version of the corresponding firmware in order to upgrade it. This is why you will need to change the product code of your phone into a non-branded product code, before running NSU.
Download the « NSS » software in order to change the phone’s product code. This is a shareware program that you can download on the site of its author here :

After that, download the following program:
(this is not a crack, but a program that allows the activation of any disabled option on no matter what program).
And finally, download NSU here:

NOW WE CAN BEGIN:
Install NSS
Install NSU
Connect your phone and wait for Windows to install the drivers.
Open NSS and click on “Scan for new device” on the right-upper part of the window
Click on the icon « Phone info »
Click on “Scan”
Open « gsm-magic » without closing NSS, then push the button « Enable » of “gsm-magic”.
As you can see, now you can change the product code (on the right of the « phone info » window of NSS). For a Nokia 6680, type the product code 0521637 (this is the product code for France!) and then mark the case “Enable”.
Now press “Write”, and your phone’s product code will be changed (you might think that nothing happened, because the phone is still in normal mode, and the changing of the product code only takes a couple of seconds, but don’t worry, the product code changed !).
Close NSS and “gsm-magic” and you can proceed now with the NSU flashing.
When the flashing with NSU is over, start-up your phone and you’ll have the pleasant surprise that your phone’s firmware is the latest Nokia non-branded firmware in date!

NOTE: I advise you to disable any antivirus and firewall on your PC during the flashing.

In order to find out the product code for other phone models, download the firmware for your phone model, connect your phone to NSS, click « Scan », then « Flash », and after that look for your product code when on « Market » you will see your country. Write down this number, then you can start the manipulation as described above. Anyway, we will soon have the product codes for all the models, so we won’t need this step.

my fone doesnt hang when goin into themes BUT there is now no lock code when after u enter ur pin. only if a nu sim is put in. also wat happend to that feature where it wud playback a voicetag before the ringtone so it wud be easier to know whos calling when using bluetooth or handsfree?!

in some forums there is a anti red-eye effect in the flash settings when using the
camera

Wonder if it was this "enhancement" that has caused my bluetooth problem. Phone was working fine before the upgrade, but now after I connect & then disconnect from my car's bluetooth handsfree device (Parrot Rhythm 'n Blue MP3 player) when ever I make or receive a call the person I'm connected to can hear an echo of their own voice. Never had this problem with the previous software versions.

I did have this problem about a year ago when I was using my Tomtom Go500 as a handsfree device, & eventually found the reason for it was that when the phone is disconnected from the bluetooth it does not disconnect properly & causes the echo.
