Thanks, Christopher. Since I obtained my phone directly from my wireless provider (Rogers Wireless), I'll assume I'm confined to their updates. I'll sort it out with them. Thanks for this clarification and all the other answers list members have given me today.
Best, Michelle -----Original Message----- From: talks-boun...@talksusers.com [mailto:talks-boun...@talksusers.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: August 7, 2011 6:20 PM To: Talks Mailing List Subject: Re: [Talks] Revised inquiry: restoring Talks license? That depends on your phone. For example, if you had an unbranded E71 then your cell phone provider wouldn't have anything to do with the firmware you're running on that phone. On the other hand, if you had an AT&T branded E71X, you could only get firmware updates from AT&T. Another example would be the N75. If you had gotten an unbranded Nokia N75 then your cell phone carrier wouldn't be in the loop when it came to your phone's firmware. An AT&T branded N75, however, would be stuck with AT&T's firmware. At one point, you could unbrand the N75 and put Nokia's stock firmware on it, but AT&T released a level of firmware for the phone that prevented you from doing that, so once you'd updated to that level of firmware then you were stuck with AT&T's updates after that. Therefore, like I said, it depends on your phone and whether it's branded or not. On 07/08/11 16:35, Michelle McQuigge wrote: > Is it true that firmware is dictated by your phone operator?
