- Good to hear from you Meraj. I'm willing to bet it wasn't a Nokia N97 that you gave to your father?

The best part of firmware updates is spending the next two days reinstalling and configuring my apps. What's the fun in all this seamless tomfoolery? And just how are my nails going to get trimmed if I'm not biting them watching my 500$ greymarket device with no US warranty getting gutted and rebooted 5 times?

Liked the sound. Fond memories of hearing Azure Skies play in a German bunker 3 stories underground. aahhh. youth.

Seriously though. I hope this puts pressure on Nokia and whoever else is pushing S60 next year.
