Hi Carol
But, unless I've missed something here, you shouldn't need to connect it to
PC Suite to update the firmware? There is an option within the phone itself
that should allow you to do this. It is a good phone, I agree with that,
but there are some quirks I don't like myself.
Kind Regards,
J

I'm comfortable with it and love the phone, but it has a few quirks which I
hope may be ironed out with the firmware upgrade, when we can get it
connected to PC Suite.
