There's a new firmware out for the Nokia E61i smartphone.

DO NOT UPGRADE UNLESS YOU HAVE TO!

I had a pretty horrible experience upgrading mine, the other day, mostly due to the crappy Windows software updater and PC suite I was forced to use.  First off, whenever I plugged in the phone, Windows would sit there for like 20 minutes finding different things, and installing drivers.  The software updater let me know it would wipe the phone during the update, so I installed the Nokia PC suite to back it up.  It wouldn't have been too bad, except both applications only seem to work 1/5 of the time.  Most of the time, the splash image will come up on the screen, and just hang (requires a log off or reboot).  After I did the upgrade, I had to format my MicroSD card since the phone would hang on the "Installing" message upon bootup.

I ended up only restoring my contacts from the backup, and redoing all the settings manually.  And, I really see no improvements.  Oh well, live and learn.
