The Orange website reports that my San Francisco II should already be sporting 2.3 Gingerbread. However, in the About phone menu on my set it reports Firmware version 2.1 update 1 - don't know if that refers to the version of Android. > We used instructions on the web to upgrade to a ROM called "Swedish Spring" > and it works very nicely.

Neither the Symtec card nor the Castle card will see the phone fully on the RiscPC. They know there is something there but I can't get at the files. However, my Widows machine recognises it OK as a mass storage device Thanks for the info. -- Chris Newman
