Nokia N70 Firmware Question

[sesro1978]

Hi-

I recently purchased a Nokia N70 cell phone from eBay that was purchased (originally) in Dubai. The seller tells me that the phones keypad and housing contained Arabic which leads me to believe that the phone OS may be in Arabic as well. I bought this phone because it was such a great deal for a great phone.

That said, can I flash the firmware (if needed) to English rather than Arabic? If so, where do I go to find the latest English firmware?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Most (if not all) localizations of Nokia firmware still have English as an option (usually the first or second choice, with Automatic being the other). You can also check out the Nokia Software Update to see if there's any firmware update available. I would not recommend switching the firmware to a different localization because it can potentially lead to a "bricked" device.
