According to this (http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/1168958-1.html) post Nokia's PC Suite needs to be running. The Nokia PC Suite for the E61 can be downloaded in US and UK English (US user here) from the following site: http://www.nokiausa.com/support/pcsuite/download.html (just select E62, as there is no E61 option with NokiaUSA). Its size is only 25mb. This means I can ditch the Nokia DVD that accompanied my phone, and not have to contend with software intended for the red coats. Unfortunately, my unit was purchased in Germany and I'm going to need US English settings and a new US keyboard (sigh). I can't believe an E61i existed at the time that I bought this thing! I have 3 marketing books I need to read and here I am commenting on a blog... Long live the E61!!!

Somebody knows if you can do a reverse Flashing from version 3 to version 2? I know, you think this guy is crazy, hehehe, but his happen because I live in Costa Rica, and here our telephone company (only one = monopoly) can connect to her services only version 2, but I made a update directly from Nokia website and they update my E61 phone to version 3. Can I put the version 2? Can I crack the number when you do *#0000# and only change this number? Because I now the version 3 is better that 2, but this company doesn't accept. Thank you for your replies... Hi everybody.

Spoke to them just before updating & they still couldn't advise on the current version approved by Voda Aus. Your suggestion saved me heaps of time & a fruitless visit - WELL DONE !
