Help please! In NaviFirm, after choosing the release got the 503 error: not able to connect to server… I continued and then “unhandled exception has occurred in your application, Object reference not set to an instance of an object”. Can’t download the files!! (I have a Nokia 8 that ran out of memory… nothing works!!)
