It seems that SE support widely recognised AT command standards that Nokia don&#39;t.<br />&gt; <br />&gt; I still need to use Windows to upgrade firmware (well I say that, I haven&#39;t actually tried looking for alternative methods or tried installing the SE software under Wine - I haven&#39;t even installed it on Windows yet!) but for a phone I got on Saturday (and I was away from my PC almost all weekend) I&#39;m already much further ahead with Linux than I ever got with the Nokia N82 in three years.<br /><br />Good to know. If the Satio is like my c905 then there is an option to upgrade the firmware over the air. I&#39;m not sure about custom, or non-operator approved firmware, but when I last tried it the phone said there was no upgrade available.<br /><br />Tim.
