Upgrading firmware on N70 - Vodafone branded

Hi all.

From reading many posts I can see that the N70 can now easily be updated,
however, is there anyway to update my Vodafone branded N70?

Currently my firmware is:
V 2.0539.1.2
19-10-05
RM-84

I tend to find that the Bluetooth can be temperamental at present.

TIA

Mr.M

Thanks - but I've been there, loaded it, ran it and it won't update my
phone!

Hence my question about Vodafone branding - has anyone else with a Vodafone
N70 managed to use this utility?

You probably have the latest Voda branded SW. I assume you have to wait
until the Voda branded variant becomes available.

The only other way you could do this is by re-flashing and getting rid of
the Vodafone firmware. http://nokia.dogtoe.com/

Yup, I upgraded my N70 pretty much as soon as the update software came out
and it worked fine. I went from V2.0539.1.2 19-10-05 RM-84 to V5.0609.2.0.1
01-03-06 RM-84. UK Vodafone N70 branded from the end of '05.
