Ok so I have had my E61 for about 3 weeks now and find it frustrating as all hell.

It was bought from the U.S., they sourced the phone in Hong Kong and it is pre-loaded with Planet 3 stuff!

The firmware says it is the latest version. When I try to use the nokia software updater, it says nothing to update. A hard reset on the phone did not get rid of the Planet 3 stuff.

If I flash the phone using Phoenix (& crack) and then install the firmware will that get rid of the junk and put the phone into a normal state? Since the model is not officially sold in Canada, Nokia is not interested in helping.

Any ideas?
