Think you will find that firmware version is specific to Orange UK...

Both 3.14 and 3.15 seem riddled with annoyances. See

Thank you very much ƧØÞ for the link to the forum.

I submitted my mobile to the Adelaide, Australia Nokia Care Centre today
(Thu 17 June 15:00 CST AU (+9:30 GMT)). The said they will upgrade the
software to version 03.17, and perform hardware tests. I will not have it
back until Monday.

I provided a list of "intermittent" issues:
The mobile has re-booted itself whilst playing a MP3 or AAC file.
The mobile has re-booted itself whilst browsing the Internet.
The mobile has re-booted whilst receiving a MMS message.
The mobile has reverted back to the phone earpiece, during a call when a
Nokia HS-3 headset was connected.
The phone has hanged when disconnecting from a Bluetooth connection to the
PC, which required a battery removal.
(I was advised by the Nokia Care Line that I should close down my PC Suite
first, before disconnecting.)

Unfortunately, although it has been out for several months, it will
probably take at least 6 months to have the more annoying bugs found
by hapless early adopters. By the time version 3.3 or maybe version 4
of the firmware is out it should be stable enough to actually be
useable - by which time there will be a new must-have mobile on the
shelves anyway!

Please thrash the thing when it comes back and let us know what old
bugs have been quashed (and/or which new ones have been introduced!)
in version 3.17.

Regards,

Apparently not, as the original poster in Oz is having his handset
flashed to 3.17 this week.

Although the release is FOR the Orange UK release, that doesn't mean it's
specific to it. It most likely adds CSP functions that Orange uses, like
automatic Line 2 and autodetection of the voicemail number.

Ok, I am happy to do that, however you are scaring me... ( I did not have
these problems with my 6610, but then again, the new 6630 does so much more.
My intention to upgrading was the music player, so I did not have to carry
two devices around)

Sorry mate! In that case you probably want to avoid going here and
learning even more potentially bad news, this time on the hardware
front!

Hope the 3.17 flash resolves most of your issues - don't forget to
share your thoughts on it here on Monday.

This is normally a very useful resource but at the moment that's about
all it says about it - and it appears to have that wrong! I've
already posted the 2 best links I know of for info. on the 6230's
firmware and hardware issues, but here they are again for ease of
reference:-

Thanks to those who originally posted the links. If anyone knows of
any other useful ones, please post them.
