CPW is one of them... outsourced them to agents like CPW.

However, when u get a DSS-25, u don't need to go to a service centre, just go to the support page for ur mobile and use the online update service.

It is not guaranteed that u will be able to update a branded phone unless Orange has updated the frimware recently.
One way is to debrand your fone and then use the service, however this is not absolutely necessary, its just an option!

is it expensive to de-brand a phone? i heard you can unlock your phone on my local market for about £10. is it a wise move to unbrand it on the market?

It is easy to debrand ur fone, and yes it should cost around £10 to debrand and unlock it to other networks.

Go to http://www.setool.net and read up on there.

Its always good to have an unbranded/unlocked fone but it does void the warranty once u do that.
