E61i Firmware 2.0633 performance issues

Question

Hi,
I upgraded my E61i firmware from 1.0633 to 2.0633. While I don't see any major "upgrades" in the system software my "Menu" option has become incredibly slow!
It now takes around 7-10 seconds for the Menu items to load when I press the Menu key. Also if I open a folder in MENU such as Installat. or Office or Tools etc it takes around 7-10 seconds for these load as well! It's really irritating.
Anybody else with a similar problem or a fix?

Hi there!
For all of you who still have performance issues with this firmware, make sure you have completed the following steps:
PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT TRY my solution if you don't have the IT skills and you don't know what you are doing. I'm not responsable to any damage caused to your phone while going through these steps.
1. After the update was done, restore your data to the phone using PCSuite. The annoying "Installing" message will appear.
2. Try to kill the process using TaskManager (you cand acces the task manager by pressing the Reject button and then holding the menu button), or wait 'till it says that the installation was unsuccesfull.
3. After the "Installation" is "done", go to the Installat. folder in your menu and verify all your applications, like a user said above. If nothing happens when try to start the app, remove it using de = button or by Options - Remove.
4. After you removed all your bad apps, go to App Manager. You'll see a list of apps with names like "a0000bg4.sis" under which the text "Not Installed" is present. Write down the full names of all the apps with the "Not installed" text under them.
5. Connect the phone to your PC using the "Data transfer" option. Use windows Search, and search for each name you listed on the paper at step 4. For each name, delete de .sis file and the two folders named after it. Example:
Name of the "Not installed" application: a0000bg4.sis
Search for: a0000bg4
Delete: a0000bg4.sis, a0000bg4 folder, a0000bg4_anything_here folder
6. After you deleted all the files for the "Not installed" apps, disconnect the phone from the PC and restart the phone.
7. After the restart, the "Installing" message should have be gone and the phone's menu speed back to normal.
8. Reinstall all your applications from scratch (Thanks for this one Nokia!)
Please note: i`m not responsable for any trouble or damage caused by anyone who tries my solution above to their phones. it's just and advice and if you don't have the knowledge, DO NOT TRY IT.
