It is not. You need to be online, connect phone via cabel to PC and socket in the wall, make backup, install updater, run update, it downloads and then upgrades fw, then it reboots phone, make restore and there you go.

    So anyone else sucessfully updated their phone yet. Negotiating price of phone from someone who wishes to sell it.

    H, wanna know if it's hard to update firmware by yourself.

      Phone has the same price almost everywhere if you wish to buy it without contract (yes, there might change in some 5 euros, but then again with all the post or travel cost...). If you can, you should try to get it via contract.

          Well, just make sure this ohone is what you want. I must admit I did a mistake not doing research as I assumed I would not have problems finding chm reader for it. As it turns out, that's MS property and I would require Windows mobile based mobile for it. My mistake. But apart from that everything seems to be in order with this phone.

              My impression is that my battery will need to be charged again after 6 days, but this time I did use it more than before. I do use WiFi on daily basis to update TravelMate information (can be downloaded from Nokia site) and check email from bed. Number of calls and text messages is like you describe. Before, with such usage I would have it 4 days running.

                VICIOUS!!! If u can do a week on standby that would be insane! What abt with ocassional use (ie 10 minutes call and 15 sms a day)

                Btw, how has the wifi battery life improve. Is the new firmware more stable incidentally. Sorry for thenosy questions, but have been eyeing the E60 for a while and the only thing it needed was a better wifi battery life for me to buy it.

                  With no use prior to update it was 6 days for me. Now with moderate usage is more, but can't say how long as I still didn't charge it after fw update.

                    So how long does the battery life lasts now on average? On GSM and 3G mode. Would it hit 5 days if no use at all? What about heavy use? Can it talk straight for 5 hours?

                      No radio, but you have real player so I believe you could use that to listen to net stations.

                          After upgrade of fw I must say that battery life seems to be much much longer. No idea what they did, but kudos to Nokia engineering for fixing this.

                                Yup, as Goran says (pozdrav :) you must be online. This is because updater will then download fw and install it for you.

                                  You have to BE CONECTED on net before you start upgrade program, else it says NO NEW VERSION.

                                    Hi there,

                                    I am in Australia and just bought a E60. When I tried to install the software updater, it says there is no latest update for my phone. The firmware that is currently on my phone is 1.0610.02.15 12-04-06.

                                    Any ideas?

                                    Thanks.

                                      Upgrade done.

                                      It requires phone to be connected to power supply and you must do backup as all your data will be wiped out.

                                      After upgrade *#0000# shows:
                                      2.0618.06.05
                                      14-07-06
                                      RM-49
                                      Nokia E60

                                      Restore brought back data as expected.

                                      Whole upgrade procedure is:
                                      1. Download updater from Nokia site 15MB
                                      2. Installation takes some 10-12 minutes

                                      I could not find document saying what changes/fixes does this fw do, but I did upgrade anyway.

                                        As far as I can see Nokia has posted E series fw upgrade. I will check it out this evening when back home from the desk.
