The site I check(ed) for the firmware is http://www.mobile-review.com/forum2/showthread.php?t=31948 . They keep a list of the latest firware for each Nokia phone there. A thread on the same page lists a few of the changes. I am not sure where Kristof found out this firmware information as I cant eaily. Bokia, sorry I missed it. Either mail me (my e-mail is on a posting a few posts down) or post you e-mail. I have 3 themes on my pc here I can send you.
Off for a bacon sandwich. See you :o)

Hi Jaykidd.
Where did you get that firmware because I recieved confirmation from nokia this morning that he official new version of the firmware is 4.01 like Whitchking said.
How is that firmware anyway? And BTW, love the themes. Could you maybe post the site o which you found them?

Jaykidd, I am not calling you a lair or anything, but you can send me your screen capture if you wish. My email address is hugo@trioptimum.co.za
I personally think that public interest in this phone is starting to take shape again. Even the retailers should get back into the 7710 game, what with the new firmware solving so many of the bugs that the phone innitially shipped with.

Hi Whitchking.
Would you mind posting a link to the site where you found the latest version number and the changes that it brings?
I am hoping to get clarity on this with the email i sent to nokia.
The rollout would probably only happen here by the end of the year, but then again I have ways of getting things done:-)
Anyway, things should get interesting as there seems to be revived interest in this once allmost dead product.
I for one will have one pretty soon.
Regards:-)

Jaykidd, the latest firmware for the 7710 is not 4.5. That is for the 9500 ( I checked a couple of weeks back when someone else asked about it). The latest for the 7710 is:
RM-12
v 4.01.0
(or
RM-12_DP_EMEA_v4.0_MCU4.01.0 to be exact)
This came out yesterday as far as I know. From another site, I picked up these changes:
I have heard that the camera resolution is bumped up to 1.23 (like the 6630/6680). Improvements to speed, memory handing, tool bar and lots of bug fixes.
Hope this helps.

Well then an apology is due. It is not what Nokia said, but then again it is more than possible that our local firmware lists have not been updated yet.
Like I said in my previous post, I am waiting for an email that will clear things up (for ZA users at least)
How did you confirm that 4.5 is the latest version?
Regards.

For the Bluetooth problem- i found that the problem is because there was 3 running msg in the DRAFT folder and due that the software is crushing. stop them and now everithing is perfect again.
In UK some of the mobile retailer shops dont offer the 7710 because problems and lots of returns in the past-with the old firmware

Hey Whitchking.
I just sent the Head of Support - Nokia SA, an email regarding the firmware of the Nokia 7710 (it helps working for Vodacom). There seems to be alot of confusion surrounding the firmware.
Anyway, I will report back my findings as soon as Gregory has replied to my email.
For us it is a big issue becuase be have 3 networks in ZA. One is MTN, the other Vodacom, and the third Cell-C. MTN has approved the phone but Vodacom hasn't. Vodacom hasn't approved it pending an upgrade of the current (3.26) firmware.

Firmaware: Seems a new firmware update may be out (4.0 something or other), I cant get it confirmed for certaing yet.
I do have 3.26 and have only used the BT aspect for my headset which has been fine. What is the bug?

Hi Jaykidd.
I work in telekoms and the latest version for the 7710 is 3.26. Firmware 4.5 is the latest firmware version for the N9500 and N9300. Nokia isn't expected to release another update to the 7710 firmware for at least a couple of months.
Most of the major issues with the N7710 were sorted out with v3.26.
PS whitchking, your 7710 uses v3.26 right? So do you aslo have the bluetooth problem?

Vokia, uninstall Switcher and re-install again. The version I am using is Switcher-1.5-crystal.sis which can be found at http://www.ki-ag.de/ and its for the 9210, but works fine even though it warns about being incompatible. I am currently learning how to program Symbian apps yes, with a view to improving eemame. Its a slow process though as I am snowed under at work.
Internet browse speed is primarily dependant upon your network and not the phone. The 7710 may be marginally slower to update its screen than other phones as it is so much bigger, but the difference will be negligible compared to the download times which are the primary stumbling blocks.

Hey Hugo, sorry, i could'nt see your question.
The is working great since the upgrade. i have even tried opening 5 simultaneous widows of the browser plus the music player and the camera running side by side and it did not crash. Is it possible to podcast using 7710?
Witchking, thanks again! re switcher, I am not getting any window after i tap on the icon on desk. Just the message about hotkey. That is what makes me think probably i am not having the right version of it. Does it warn you of compatebility when you install it? btw Are you into symbian app development also?
thanks!
