massive thanks @itsnotabigtruck.

I have to own up to being a total noob with all things Nokia. I was on some random swiss county variant and my desire to get PR1.2 finally outweighed my patience!

Followed the guide in tandem with the english youtube link (found further back in the thread) and all went smoothly.

Thanks V much for taking the time to help folks like myself. Hopefully having changed to a more generic Northern Europe firmware I will get the updates in a timely fashion from now on!
