5 - SUGGERIMENTI IMPORTANTI

I - Gli aggiornamenti sono importanti nei primi mesi di vita del telefono soprattutto se è appena uscito, ma una volta stabilizzatosi (risolti i bugs che ogni telefono nuovo presenta e che si potrebbero evitare se mamma Nokia li testasse meglio...) non portano grandi migliorie;

II - Se il telefono non vi da problemi gli aggiornamenti non sono strettamente necessari;

III - L'aggiornamento del Firmware eseguito con qualsiasi procedura comporta comunque dei rischi nel senso che può accadere un qualsiasi imprevisto che vi 'brucia' o blocca il telefono ed allora perchè stare intere settimane senza telefono? Perchè rischiare?

Insomma non aggiornate se non è necessario, godetevi il telefono invece di stare sempre dietro all'ultimo aggiornamento.
