Today I updated my Nokia 5310 phone to the new 5.81 version. As I have read that there may be some problems with it I thought I'd report about my experience on my blog.
To find out what version is installed on your phone, type in *#0000# using your keypad. I had the 3.6 version installed. So I downloaded the latest version of the Nokia Software Updater. After a reboot it detected my phone connected via the USB cable.
I took the hint to backup the phone settings seriously. You can do that via the phone menu. Go to the Setting->Sync and backup->Create Backup submenu.
Then I started the update which ran automatically without problems. 10 minutes later the phone rebooted and requested the PIN code. Unfortunately all my personal data were deleted. So I had to restore the data I backed up before. That worked quite fine and I didn't loose any contact info or calendar settings.
What's new?
So far I found the following new options and functionalities:
- I can now add Java programs to my favorite's list.
- There is now a quick dial function. Just press one of the keys from 2 to 9 for 2 seconds.
Update: The newest version is V 09.42 which can be installed just as easy. I haven't found any major improvements yet (except for a new status bar when loading things).

I picked up my phone about a month ago from T-Mobile and the S/W version on the phone says: V 05.91, 20-20-08, RM-304
is there any difference between RM-303 and RM-304?
