I don’t know why, but thought I’d see if there is a new version of firmware for the Nokia 6220, since it irritatingly crahses when trying to take photos.

The latest version I now have is 03.46 (custom version 03.46.229.06).

What’s the difference????  I DON’T KNOW!!!!

The only thing I’ve noticed is it doesn’t reboot when taking photos.  The problem is, I’ve no idea whether it is this version of firmware that’s fixed this or just coincidence.

Why Do Nokia NOT provide a read-me with all the changes and fixes included?  There’s nothing to indicate what changes have been made.  So for those of you who have yet to update, I can’t say if it’s worth it or not.

GET THIS:  I get a text from My Nokia informing me of the really useful ‘press and hold the # key’ feature, that switches swiftly between the ’silent’ and ‘general’ profiles.

Guess what?  With 03.46 firmware it doesn’t work!!!!   Priceless…..

If you spot anything else, why not post it here and cc Nokia

There’s a firmware upgrade for the Nokia 6220 classic.  I stumbled across this whilst surfing the web for anything new repeating to the 6220.

You have to down load a firmware upgrade tool from Nokia, then it’s just a case of plug in phone to USB, ensure plenty of battery, or power cable, then press go!

What’s new?  Well, don’t know!  I couldn’t find anything detailing what fixes ro new features are incorporated.  The only thing I’ve spotted is a new icon under Internet called ‘Share Online’.  I’ve not tried this yet.

It has rebooted itself a few times since, but I can’t recall if it did that before the upgrade.

The one omission - oh dear - is you still can’t quickly switch between ’silent’ and ‘general’ profiles by holding down the # key, this despite the fact the key has a crossed out musical note symbol on it.

Anyone else find anything?

Having lived with my N73 for some two years, I thought it time to update and fancied a phone with GPS. My N73 served me well, but it’s heavy and rather slow to respond, especially with programs and data stored on a memory card.

So how did I choose the Nokia 6220??
