Updating Nokia N70 firmware

Whew, just finished updating the firmware on my Nokia N70. (Firmware is the operating software that comes loaded on your device from the manufacturer.) The process took around 10 minutes, but it was really nerve-racking, considering the fact that any goof-up would render my smartphone as useful as a brick.

The update process was relatively simple. However, after installation, most of my customised settings were wiped off and I had to start almost everything from scratch. The worst part was that all Java apps stopped working, including Gmail Mobile and Opera Mini, my favourite mobile apps of all time. Guess, I will have to do everything all over again. Ah, what the heck??? Nokia, are you listening???
