Good to hear! Let me know if it says that "no new version is available" for your language. You see, Nokia only updates the firmware for languages that a model sells well. So, if you need to upgrade and no upgrade version is available for your language, you have to use a special tool to change the Product ID of the phone, in order to force the upgrade (you will lose your language's specific support, but at least you will get the upgrade).

i'm using english. the upgrade went fine. i bought a card for asterisk a while ago so i could setup a pbx for my parents at work, but i never got a phone to test it out with, now i can. i just need to finish setting up asterisk. anyway thanks. btw i gave the video coversion stuff a try, but i had an issue with one of the settings in the picture. on my mpeg-4 export settings screen the video options button was grayed out. However, the quality is so much better than the first video i put on my phone. thanks for all the help.

Hi Eugenia,
I am using a TMobile branded Phone which is giving me a no go for the update. Can you point me to this application which will force it to be updated.
I am currently stuck on v 1.2 on my E61 and it sucks.

Wow, you will love version 3. I bought the E61 on suggestion from Eugenia, and I've been VERY happy with it. I have no problems with it as a phone overall, except one minor niggle with auto-retrieve and IMAP4 accounts. Other than this, the phone is truly super! Eugenia and I even had a VOIP call between my E61 and her E61 - I live in Hawaii - and even so the voice quality was FAR better than even a normal cellular call. Very impressive!

Nokia E61 is an excellent phone for Voip. I use sipgate(sipgate.com) and works perfectly. Sound quality is excellent. You dont need a software or anything, you just do few settings, than you are ready to go.
