Thanks ratza I understand now

I have a N70-5, with the firmware 5.0634.2.6.1
When I check if there are updates with Nokia Software Updater, it tell me that there are not updates.
Why? My version is not the latest, is it?

Product code can be changed with Nemesis Service Suite (NSS). If you want more details for firmware upgrades, look on the N70 forum for the dedicated thread.

Debranded my phone with NSS from T-Mobile several months ago and updated to 5.0634.2.6.1. Then a couple of weeks back I updated to 5.0705.3.0.1 without having to change code again. Why would the code reset after updating?

The code does not change by itself, it must be switched back by you. How's the new firmware? I haven't heard good things about it - backup cannot be restored, phone memory dropped to 18 MB...

Never had cause to use the backup but will try it later.
Phone seems more stable, ie no crashes and bluetooth performance is improved. I use TomTom 5 and I was having troubles with BT dropping out but since the update its been stable.
I didn't change the code back after the debranding/update.

I mean that you can't recover the backup made before changing the firmware. Mine is pretty stable so I guess I won't rush for 5.705
