Then why the hell does SE keep issuing new firmware updates on its site? When you keep issuing firmware means that something major is not right. I think SE should know that it is definitely NOT good publicity to keep issuing updates unless it is absolutely necessary to do so to fix major bugs.
I bought my previous Nk6600 1 months after it was release and there were no firmware update at Nokia centre until 6-8 months later. Then again the firmware update is to add on new functions. I bought my 6670 and there were no firmware updates at all period.

In answer to the original poster the answer is very simple and can be demonstrated with a few simple questions.
Why do people stand in the rain for 2 hours watching football in the secure knowledge they will have a 50% chance of losing?
Why did many people persist in buying leaky unreliable british motorcyles for years aftyer the Jap machines were available?
The answer Passion, enthusiasm, the desire to be different and very possibley a slight addiction!

Can as well be interpreted as Nokia does not care about bug fixes as much as SE does.

Since upgrading the firmware on my phone I've had more problems that I bargained for. Will take it back to the SE Service Centre so the can reflash it back to RAE0033.
Let us know if they can do it. I have not heart about the possibility to downgrade the fw to an earlier version. Once you have upgraded you are stuck usually.

More likely is that Nokia spends more time bug-testing its firmware (a.k.a much more reliable ha ha
)

most of the firmware updates, of which there are 6 or so, were released to address minor bugs or operator dependent issues. One of those versions caused crashing which necessitated updating the firmware, but not in all phones with that firmware.
Even Nokia update firmware throughout the life of a model, changing it as market experience shows up problems. But once the handset is in the customer's hands they take no more responsibility. Atleast SE give the option for users to update to the latest firmware even after purchase.
I think that overall only a small proportion of K750 users actually experience any serious bugs, the rest of us would not think of the phone as "buggy".

We will never know due to the fact that whatever other OSes that are still left standing are so obscure (in the sense that very few people use them) that no hackers are interested in attacking.
No sure why u r using this line of silly argument.

I hope this does not give SE the license to release untested phone!!

As usual, this is your guess only. btw: How small is small? 0.01% or 5% or, 10% or 30%?

You can still bring it back to Nokia centre to fix. So Nokia has to maintain or subcontract out enough number of service centres to do this. And Nokia will have no excuse to close down or reduce the number of service centres due to the fact that DIY update is available.
