    In the top right corner the down arrow click driver recovery, then let that run, then go to your phone settings, applications, development and turn on usb debugging. Plug into your pc. Let the drivers install. Unplug, turn off debugging restart phone and pc and plug in. Will install drivers and should be good

    Im on Meteor bill pay... still no update available to me. Attached is my screen shot of version info. The details of this info mean nothing to me? Could someone explain? Why is my version info wildly different from other screen shots?

    Does Kies know what network you're with?

    Do you happen to know what you need on your PC to make USB tethering work? Is it Kies?

    Possibly it is Kies - I do have it installed (that is how I upgraded). I didn't have to do anything special (running Kies on Windows Vista). I didn't have to configure anything in Kies - I just connected Phone, it appeared to auto-configure its own driver, and the UBS Tethering just worked. Sorry I can't be more help.

    BTW, the reason I mentioned USB tethering is I don't think there was an explicit option on the setting menu before (maybe it was possible with some configuration and/or I just failed to notice the option).

    Anyway, yes, women do think I am way cooler now :D

    No, the phone product code determines if you get the update.

    List here -

    Careful now.

    I spent €37 quid on that one night (not knowingly) when I ran over my 50meg allowance, twice, before and after midnight.
    I didn't realise it would hit 187megs in total. :rolleyes:

    Connection prob? You try this? In the top right corner the down arrow click driver recovery, then let that run, then go to your phone settings, applications, development and turn on usb debugging. Plug into your pc. Let the drivers install. Unplug, turn off debugging restart phone and pc and plug in. Will install drivers and should be good

    Thats really weird....is it set to go straight into kies under usb settings? Have you a task killer you can run to make sure nothings happening in the background? Really not sure what you could do now....windows should just pick up the device again and install it when you restart the pc
