If you hunt around on the Nokia forums, you can find a change log for each software update. They must be released from Nokia somewhere.... From my previous reading, updates can have negative results, like the update to the N73 Music Edition made the music player a permanently running program, sucking the program memory and making it hard to run any memory hungry apps... Also, be incredibly careful when updating your phone, or you might 'brick' it (turn it into nothing more useful than a brick). Basically, if you interrupt the update process while it is taking place, it can kill the phone. I nearly did this and was lucky enough that the update had almost completed, so was able to save the phone. Others have not been so lucky, so be careful. Some notes.

I can't see Nokia doing it because then releasing software would be moot. I have the Nokia 6125i and I just want to smash it !!!!!!!
