Phone Unlocking Nokia 8800 help !!!

[maarksparky]

Hi folks,

I wonder someone could help me.. I have acquired a really nice Nokia 8800.. works a treat and its the phone I always wanted it. However, it does not have the most up to date software on it.. I have v3.78 on it, and Nokia this morning advised me that there was v4.17 out..

now, I know going on the Nokia website and updating etc.. I cant.. because the phone does not have USB connection on it and it can only be done by another method or at the Carphonwarhouse etc

Can someone guide me on how I could update it, as it is really bugging me.. the firmware on it just now doesnt give me much options to customise it.. please please please help..

Take it to an unlock shop...fairly easy to do if you have the gear. Sadly, the gear starts at about £100. Same stuff they use to unlock with.
