I have this phone on Voda, no updates available by the looks of it, do you think it's just a matter of time, or is there any way to force the update, I've had the phone about two weeks, it's blue!

Cheers, T.

Yes there is a way to force the update fella but it involves invalidating your warranty by debranding your phone.

Ive done it as I wasn't too worried but some people obviously are. Info regarding debranding your phone is here
 
must say I quite like the kinetic scrolling, solves the problem of having to use the clunky scroll bars
 
Mmmm thanks, I've only had it two weeks so would like to avoid killing the warranty if possible. do you think they'll release the updates for this model at some point anyway?
Thanks again, T.
 
Got this installed the other week. I took the opportunity to do a full hard reset, and it is much nippier than before.

Alarm seems to function as requested! Only feature i'd really like to see is for the phone to vibrate every so often if you don't acknowledge a text etc as a small flashing light can be hard to miss.

I use something called Light Singal Plus which doesn't vibrate but flashes all buttons more regularly and helps a lot.
