Nokia software updater

Just a reminder..
if you're using nokia N series, you will have a nokia software updater installed from the cd package which comes with your purchase.
please do not use the nokia software updater even though i know it's fascinating to see what kind of software r they providing to us genuine nokia users.
me being one of the curious cat used the nokia software updater yesterday, it downloaded some 100mb+ file and started to update my phone~! yeah~! so excited! =.=
after the update, the chinese in my phone was gone. all chinese characters became boxes.. and the phone's main language became portugese.. i took some time to change it back into english.
also all my phone contacts got deleted lucky i had them saved in my sim card.
i checked and knew that my phone is from a foreign country. that's why, when we run the nokia software updater, it resets everything to its original setting, depending on which country it's from. it also erases everything in your phone memory including your text messages.
so if the phone is made in china, it will have chinese, but maybe not malay; if it's from france, then it's entirely in french.

i had to go to shop and ask them to reinstall the language pack for me, which costed me rm30.
and i had to recopy my contacts from the sim. and i think most of you have encountered the same problem. when you copy the contacts from the sim card, for example what you saved were michelle, after you copied them out to your phone contacts, they become michelle/1 or if it was wai lam, it will become lam;wai/1, so...... you had to delete those /1 /2 /3 one by one, and reverse those names, which i've spent quite some time doing it and it was really annoying!
one of my friend had also did the same thing.
So please don't repeat our mistakes.
DELETE THE NOKIA SOFTWARE UPDATER NOW
AND YOU'VE JUST EARNED YOURSELF RM30
