6230 - 4 Questions from an uninitiated...

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.nokia (More info?)

I had a few questions about the 6230, I was hoping the collective wisdom of
this group could shed light upon...

1) Backup - Is there a way to download on my PC a backup of the phone with a
single operation, e.g. keying in some code onto the phone. I know there are
a number of applications that allow downloading of messages, e-mails, etc,
but I was curious as to whether there's one simple thing that does it all,
say once a month, via bluetooth/IR to a pc. I'd seen something somewhere
about warranty codes for other phones, which sounded like they might do this
function.

2) Firmware Upgrade - If I upgrade the firmware, would that wipe clean my
phone (i.e. all the contents). I'm assuming this would, hence question 1!

3) Does anyone know of a Nokia repair centre in London that upgrades
firmware -- preferably while you wait. I went in to Carphone Warehouse's
repair centre and asked if they could (was there for something else, but
thought I'd ask them to do this while they were at it) but they referred me
to Nokia. I understand it's not possible for users to do this themselves.

4) Bluetooth - When I transfer files to the phone (via a Linksys DBT-120),
I'm surprised at how long its taking. A 2 - 3 mb file takes around 5
minutes. Is this typical? I'd have thought it should be much faster (hey,
i'm used to transfering files via broadband) but have nothing to compare
against.

Cheers,

Gus
