I hope this helps others as this was a very annoying problem
1. Make a backup of your phone using PC Companion (PCC) under 'backup & restore'.
2. Go to Support zone and choose 'phone software update' and click the start button.
3. a box will pop up and say 'your phone is up to date'. then click the blue link at the bottom that says 'repair phone'.
4. Follow the onscreen intructions to do another update. This will now erase all software and settings on the phone, so make sure you did a backup in step 1. You will have to agree to a box that says all the data will be erased. click agree.
5. Continue to follow instructions, when prompted disconnect your phone, turn it off and on, it will now be as if you bought a brand new phone in the box, ie all settings and software to default.
6. Presto! all your wifi, bluetooth, etc will be working now.
7. Go back to backup and restore and restore the file you made in (step 1.)
8. Then all your contacts, photos, videos will be restored. Be patient, if it fails once, dont worry, do it again as instructed and all will be fine.
Whole process can be done in under 20 mins!
Hope i helped! Good luck, please post your results.
Thanks
Also, be sure to follow the setup wizard at the beginning, like the first time you turned your phone on when you bought it, as it will setup internet and mms settings to be sent from your provider. i ignored the wizard and then couldnt figure out why i couldnt get '3G' reception'.
