nokia 6500S need help for firmware update


Hello everyone,
I own a Nokia 6500S phone since 3 years ago( it was new purchased from the Orange local dealer) and I am stuck with a problem. The sdhc card supplied with the phone is already too small for my actual needs and I want to use a higher capacity one. Reading on the internet I've found out that even 16GB sdhc cards could be used but there is a glitch, the phone's firmware has to be higher than v 9.40 or higher. My phone came with I have no idea which firmware version as I upgraded to V 8.30 after installing Nokia pc suite.
The probem is that nokia pc suite tells me that v 8.30 is the latest firmware update available, which is not correct, the latest i guess is 12.35.

Anyway, after checking the firmware version witn *#0000# those are the details I get:

Nokia 6500s-1
V 08.30
03-07-08
RM-240
(c)Nokia
Variant: 67.01

Language:
V 08.30
03-07-08
RM-240
(c) Nokia
BOR

I've tried to update the firmware using the Nokia pc suite but it says that I have the latest version available.
I assume that latest version V 08.30 is the latest available for my language but i wouldn't mind to have english only and still be able to update the firmware to the latest possible so I could make use of a higher capacity (8GB but i'd preffer to achieve a 16GB ) sdhc card.

On the other hand I have to say that the phone is locked in Orange network Romania, but I don't necessary want to unlock it as I don't plan to use it in another network.

So, is there any other software available (apart of the nokia pc suite) for upgrading the firmware?
I know many other firmware updates were released after v8.30, i already downloded various versions but I need your guidance.
So what do i need to do, what software to use for upgrade, do I need to unlock the phone in order to be able to install a better firmware than the "latest" V8.30 provided by nokia suite?
I suppose the romanian language pack has to be somehow injected into the other languages pack of a higher version of firmware, but I can use english so it is not mandatory.
Thank you for your time and for any support.
Best regards
Thank you
