Some FAQ from their website:
Will I lose my data when I upgrade?
The upgrade does not erase any of your stored data, this includes picture and wallpaper downloads, ringtones, games, contacts and calendar events. We recommend you back up your SPV using Orange Backup and/or active sync.
Does the update affect the menu structure on my SPV?
No, however Orange has added 2 new applications - Picture Manager and Sound Manager. These will now appear on the main menu and may change the original order.

Remove the battery for 30 seconds and replace. Power on the handset.
If the handset only powers up to a screen which displays three colours, perform the following steps:
