Shud the updates be done in order? To stop the restarting prob must u start with the first updates or go straight to the latest R1FA035 and wil it cure all major probs with the w910i ?
strizlow800 is correct - it's not really "updating" so much as "replacement". You are completely replacing the phone firmware. In the windows analogy it would be sort of like updating a Windows XP SP1 to Windows XP SP2 by running a Windows XP SP2 installation over the top (rather than just running the SP2 update on it's own). It completely replaces the OS, but keeps user data and settings.
However on the phone, the user data and settings are in one area of memory (FS) and the os is in another area (MAIN). When you update you completely replace the MAIN, but the FS is mostly left alone.

so after i update the w910i i won't hav any probs with it. and how long wud the battery last if i use it non stop? one thing i really really wana know is the measurement of the screen in millimetres as in length and width plz help. it says 2.4 inches. but my old n70's screen is supposd to b 2.1 inches but measures in length but it comes to around 45 mm which isn't 2.1 INCHES
does it mean 2.1 inches diagonally? i need to know how many mm's bigger the w910i's screen is compared to the w890i's screen in millimetres in terms of length not diagonally. it's the 1 thing that's gonna make the diff to me. plz help. i checked evrywhere on the net.

Well, I'm not having any problems with mine and I'm on the latest firmware.
screen size is measure diagonal I think.

Screen size is measured diagonally but you should be able to calculate length using the no of pixels. Here I assume that each pixel is square - length = width. Anybody who knows it might be incorrect please enlighten us.
Using the number of pixels along length and width you can calculate the no of pixels along diagonal whose size you already know in mm. Then you can calculate size of each pixel which can be used to calculate length and width.

using pythagoras:
[320x320] + [240x240] = c x c, where c = the number of pixels on the diagonal.
therefore c = square root of [102400+57600]
therefore c = 400 pixels
400 pixels = 2.4in = 61mm
therefore 1 mm = 6.557 pixels or 1 pixel = 0.153mm
therefore:
width = 240 x 0.153 = 36.72mm
height = 320 x 0.153 = 48.96mm
Just to check my calculations, I measured with a ruler, and the results tally.
Gotta love Pythagoras hey? And who said what we learn in school has no use in the real world

Thank you very much for the calculation. I was too lazy to try.
