i am a newbie for firmware flashing. the question i am going to ask might not related (i suppose yes).
if my phone does not have chinese input (AP set), is that because of the firmware is not local? if i bring to nokia authorized shop to flash, will they accept?
your answer will help me to decide either i will buy an AP or authorized set. btw, i am buying n95 8gb. i would go for authorized set definitely if the price btw ap and auth set is not too big.

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Dec 21 2007, 03:09 PM) Depends on where the AP set comes from. Assume comes from US/Europe, then no chinese input. You can flash it yourself through Nokia Software Updater. Be sure to choose APAC region/China/Taiwan if you want chinese input. I'm not sure whether local Nokia will help you to flash AP set or not. If yes, I'm sure there are charges involved. i heard people say, if i flash it myself using nokia software updater, it will flash by the serial number which the serial number has info where the set is from.. i.e, if the updater detected that my set is from indonesia, it will flash an indonesia firmware (BM). and it is possible to change the serial number, whether it is legal or not. edit: so my question is, if my ap set is from indonesia, is it possible to ask nokia authorised shop to flash a APAC firmware for me?

i know most of the ap company will flash APAC firmware before they sell, but my concern is i will want to update the firmware. my fren case is, after he flash a newer firmware, become BM already because his set is from indonesia. then he need to change the product code and flash again(himself). i am just thinking is this worth to risk for that rm500~600 (in term of warranty). now i guess i will pick up an AP set. thanks for your help guys.
