But low cost came with some restrictions, usually that phones is so called "branded" meaning phone have logos, colors and links to provide eg. Vodafone, Cingular and similar. Usability of that phone is sometimes limited because you cannot change their brands, assign buttons or even in some cases wallpapers. But biggest problem is upgrading software which is sometimes impossible. Here is short tutorial how to "debrand" Nokia N95 and other s60 phones, actual guide is made by Paul at Series 60 Blog .

3. Install NSS, during setup choose the virtual usb option.

4. Install Nokia Software Updater (NSU).

5. It's a good idea to back your phone up, contacts, images, messages etc. Backup can be done via Nokia PC suite backup utility. Once you've successfully flashed your phone you can restore it.
