Hello everyone!
Thanks to all the users and admins for this great forum. I've found a lot of useful tips here, like getting the Scandinavian letters to work, and I look forward to be a part of this community.
I've been using PDA's for quite a while but this is the first combined PDA/phone (unless you count smartphones, and a brief encouter with the Nokia 7710 which I hated )
My list of PDA's goes something like this: Palm M100, Palm 3C - a long pause without a PDA - got a M100 again - IPAQ 3850 - Pocket Loox 710 - XDA Exec
My list of phones would be about this: Nokia NMT 101, Nokia 1611, - Nokia 6110 - Nokia 7110 - Ericsson T65 - SE T68i - trial user for a nokia 7710 with TV - Motorola MPX220 - XDA Exec. Had some other phones too, but used them for a short while or bought them as spares.
I recently bought a used XDA Exec, the rom is 1.13.48 WWE which is ancient. The Exec seems very unresponsive and slow compared to any PDA I owned earlier also it seems prone to crash. I have some warranty left, so I'd prefer to keep an O2 ROM since then I'd have less to explain if I need to get this thing serviced.
I figured my best choise would be the "Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.exe" with a corporate install, since I'd rather be without the clutter as I wont use any O2 services.
A few questions:
1) My boot loader says "serial v1. 00" Should I upgrade it to 1.01? Any performace imrovements or less chance of bricking if I update it?
2) I downloaded the ROM from the O2 page, although I'm not in the UK nor do I have a O2 phone number. Is it safe for me two install the firmware or will I get a locked phone or country errors (got the fix for that just incase)?
