Firmware Upgrade to 4.18

[markusck]

Anyone in the bay area able to upgrade my 6610 to firmware 4.18? Currently have 3.08 and would like latest upgrade. I am not 100% sure if the 7210 version is EXAXCTLY the same as I would have thought that if they are that ATT could flash mine. If they are not I could fry the phone. Any ideas? NokiaUSA wont do it as its not a US phone.

Thanks,

The firmware for the 6610 is NHL-4U the firmware for the 7210 is NHL-4. Many of the corrections/additons to the phones are nearly identical. I found a site on the net that has the firmware NHL-4U ver 4.18 to download (25mb). I just need to find someone to flash the phone. If anyone is interested here are the upgrades to the firmware and if anyone knows of someone in the bay area that would be willing to flash my phone please let me know:
