Goto any nokia care centre they'll upgrade your firmware for free.
Oh yeah it was *#0000# for the firmware.
Here is the info on IMEI::::
Short for International Mobile Equipment Identity, it is a unique number given to every single mobile phone, typically found behind the battery.
IMEI numbers of cellular phones connected to a GSM network are stored in a database (EIR - Equipment Identity Register) containing all valid mobile phone equipment.
When a phone is reported stolen or is not type approved, the number is marked invalid.
The number consists of four groups that looks this:
nnnnnn--nn-nnnnnn-n
The first set of numbers is the type approval code (TAC). The first two digits represent the country code. The rest make up the final assembly code. The second group of numbers identifies the manufacturer:
01 and 02 = AEG
07 and 40 = Motorola
10 and 20 = Nokia
41and 44 = Siemens
51= Sony, Siemens, Ericsson
The third set is the serial number and the last single digit is an additional number (usually 0).

Your IMEI number is your phone's unigue serial number. No two phones have the same IMEI number. It is possible to change it, but it is VERY illegal.
It is possible to download newer firmware off the net, but you need a flashing device to actually get it on to your phone. It's an operating sytem you're installing, remember. Not a game or application.
A flashing device such as Griffin box will set you back about £400 - £500.

IMEI is a unique equipment identifier (15 digits) on the back of your equipment, (typically inside the battery compartment e.g.)
Also found using *#06# when you type this into your phone.
*#0000# or
*#9999# to get the firmware version of your Nokia.
For 3650's would need a Griffin or a Neelix box (e.g. from JIC Electronics in the UK) that costs several hundreds of $$'s.
Best to visit an unlocking shop or a certified Nokia repair facility (e.g. whomever your service provider is, flagship store might provide this service, in-shop, for upgrade firmware and to unlock phones).
Also a third party unlocker shop should also have the means to upgrade firmware for you.
