Just tell me, why on earth everyone can upgrade Siemens phones (like SL45 or ME45) firmware using nothing but a PC and cable, and Ericsson/SE phones must be taken to service center?! Ain't it unfair?

This MAY change when SE launches a Java phone.......

Perhaps SE don't want people to examine the software and let the competitors find out its secrets or copy parts of its operating systems for free.

The original SL45 and ME45 are not Java enabled ..... just upgraded my cousin's SL45 2 days ago with firmware V52. A 10 mins job and it's now a SL45i with Java
This is what I call user-friendly ....

But to upgrade your SL45 is actually not endorsed, nor legal according to Siemens! I've done it myself to, upgraded my SL45 -> SL45i. It was a quick and easy job, but if you have warranty left on your phone, it will most likely void it!

In my own opinion, you can do that by Siemens and not by Ericsson just because they are far better programmers by Siemens !!!
By Siemens, you can also since long ago :
- remove the operator name on the screen
- have the street, city and zip fields in the contacts
- a really fast T9, knowing when to put an apostrophe...
and just to have those really basic functions by SE, we’ll have to wait an eternity…!!! (I’m not sure they’ll reach that once, because by SE… they are just “bellow zero”…!!!)
For me, a soon as Siemens will come with a tri-band color phone, I’ll throw away my T68… (I HATE the T9 on the T68…!!!)

I'll agree with you that Siemens have better software when it comes to the basic functions of a phone! In the beginning my SL45 had some bugs, but they were all sorted out quite fast. The only big gripe with it was that checking the "inbox" of your sms's were slllloooowwww!! I mean REALLY SLOW, but only when an MMC-card was present.
Other than that, I'll agree with you that the T9 works a lot better on the Siemens, and that it's a well-built software! I still like my SL45 which I upgraded to SL45i myself, and I'm using it at the moment while my Ericsson T68m is at the service center, for the fourth time!

I agree that the siemens t9 is better than the t68's. Some words can't be saved in the t68. and It's a good thing you can upgrade your siemens online by yourself
