Software update on 6310i (v5.22)

currently have v5.22. Need to update this to v5.51. Nokia says I need to go to a service centre. The one in London (in the basement of Carphonewarehouse, Oxford St.) says it will cost me GBP 30.00. Surely there must be cheaper options. Can I do this myself...?!

Please help!!!

If you still have warranty it will cost nothing, but offcourse if that is not....
you can do it yourself offcourse, it called flashing, but the material you need to do it, also cost money...
i give you an example;
you need a Mbus data cable (not the M/Fbus because that is for uploading logo's and ringingtones etc...)
you also need an PS/2 adaptor (eventualy this is the flashcable) depends on the device himself, most devices has got there own adaptor.
and then you need the software (most don't run on WinXP) and the flashfiles (on sale/some are free)
this is going to cost you (because you have an older phone about 50 Euro...)

So you can find someone who does flashing and do it for some less money...

ps. flashing a phone is hard and dangerous, because you also can destroy the phone if you do something wrong... if you wanna do it, first read everything you need to do, be sure you have everything, and check even dubble check if everything is correct.
The information i is given just for educational puposes, just know how, but stay off...

thanks for all the help. Have actually done it now. Found a local place in North London where they wanted GBP 20.00 for the upgrade to 5.50 (They didn't have anything more recent).

Bargained them to GBP 15.00 so I think I prefered to have paid this instead of buying all the kit. Again, many thanks to all the helpful folk out there, much appreciated.
