*#0000* will show your current firmware... previous version was 4.44
The easiest way to update to f/w 5.24 is to take it to your nearest Carphone Warehouse service centre... they'll do it over night for ya... free of charge!

You type the *#0000* into the phone and it displays your current firmware version. The updating of the Firmware can only be done by an Nokia Service Agent... and The Carphone Warehouse is one of them.

Unlike SonyEricsson, Nokia doesn't offer any web updates.
