In recent years several phone manufacturers have offered this capability, providing user updates for their phones for example: Siemens, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices. Users have been able to download the updates online and apply them by connecting their handset to their computers. Hi, just reading through your report:
