Siemens has finally presented on their site the wizard which will instruct you how to apply their latest techology SOA (Software Update Over The Air) - in other words updating the firmware in your phone through GPRS download. Only the necessary part of the software is downloaded, so this way your downloads are measured in kilobytes, as opposed to the internet downloads that are more than 10 megabytes large, because you must always download the complete firmware from internet.

There is the list of the phones on Siemens site that support the latest technology SOA. The supported phones are(as listed on the site):
C70, CX70, CF75, CX75, M75, ME75, S65, SP65, SK65, SL65.

Quote from the instructions: "...Not all mobiles already have the SOA (Services Over Air) settings preinstalled. To find out whether your model is already equipped for updates over-the-air, open the folder “Extras” in the phone’s main menu. Now check whether the option “Device manager” is listed.

In case the option “Device manager” is indeed listed, you can proceed with Step 2 and perform an OVER THE AIR software update.

In case you do not find “Device manager” as an option under “Extras”, you need to download the latest firmware version via the internet. After you have installed the latest software version for your phone, you can utilize our over-the-air service in the future."

There is also the link on site that will help you setting up device manager in your phone...

One of our user has tested it and it killed his phone. As he said it was really hard to repair it.

And on the other hand I think it´s not an full valuable update. If you compare those few kilobytes which are downloaded and the winswup or original update. I think SOA update owerwrites only a part of flash.

I can´t use this form of update, because my provider doesn´t support GPRS on the prepaid cards. So it´s impossible to update through GPRS.

And I don´t know because of what did you think that I´m not accept it. I´ve just said my only one experience. wink
