I too found this a problem. I received a message on my PC when I connected my phone. New software is available for your phone. If I had not backed up my phone I would have been totally screwed. My phone would not boot up after the upgrade. I had to re-install the old software version and format the memory card. I lost a lot of programs and apps it had took me about 1 year to build up.
Be very careful if you are considering using this upgrade, be happy with what you have.

You make a fair point Steve. However I think you said you wouldn't advise
doing it on a phone that you actually need -- is that still the case?

Oh come on Ewan, I and others have commented several times on how to get round the Vista limitation - cough: Windows XP SP2 compatibility - do please give it a try.... But yes, it would be better if Nokia actually fixed this officially.
