You are correct Barbara. If you download and install it your self, you will invalidate the warranty. I was told this by Mike Ducksbury and that is the reason they send it to their service centre for installation as the warranty is still intact. On the other hand, phones are so reliable that the chances of something going wrong is unlikely with the phone unless you screw up the installation. Despite the invalidation of the warranty problem if you self install, Vodafone on two separate occasions said that I should do it my self and one of these times was when I was speaking to their special needs department. If anyone has any doubts then it is better to err on the side of caution and have Vodafone do it for you but this will mean taking it to a store and it being sent away for a few days. I Got my Phone in January and unless things have changed in the meantime, The version of Talks you Get will be 2.3 since 2.5 was being trialed and they were encountering some network problems with it. -----Original Message----- From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Barbara Wilson Sent: 02 May 2006 16:28 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: vodaphone I would imagine that installing it yourself would invalidate your waranty as someone on here said this was advice from another mobile provider. For the sake of a week I'd let them do it, but ask if they can put it on the memory card rather than the handset itself. It took them less than a week when they done one for me over a year ago.
