Latest Firmware For N73
Written by ImagesLab.net on Friday, January 11, 2008Latest firmware for Nokia N73 is available for update now.
So, what are the new updates in the latest firmware?
- the camera function loads faster than before
- photo quality has slightly improved
- music equalizer bug fixed (before this when you edit the equalizer, it turns back to default when you re-edit it).
- music quality by using loudspeaker has slightly improved
- added online sharing which are Flickr and Vox (maybe for direct upload)
The following are some of the few things that you'll need to pay special attention before updating your firmware. First, I would suggest that you divert all your phone calls to another phone because if there are any incoming calls while updating the firmware, it will fail to update. Second, please backup all your contacts and sms'es to your pc or memory card as updating firmware is something like formatting your phone memory. You get the idea? So all applications like themes, games and software will need to be re-installed once the update is completed. So, please take note before you start updating.
I still have not update mine as I'm still waiting for the next firmware (hopefully) which supports N-gage games.
Lastly, enjoy your weekend !!

Dear all,
I just updated my N73 Black edition
V3.06 RM 133 (India) to V 4.07
Here are a my experiences-
[B]Imporverments Noticed!-[/B]-
1. RAM management is better, Sometimes keeps terminating Apps in background;But Much better better than before no Doubt ! :)
2.All photos now zoom upto 800 %, Zoom is smoother and stable.
3. Whole gallery feels much faster
4. Camera startup is much faster and Stable too! Flat in 4 seconds, 6 seconds first shot to be exact!
5. 19 MB free ram on BOOT.
6. Low light images far better. Just use 'night potrait' mode
7. Shuffle works well (Some people complained about this)
[I]Actually, Whole phone is Pleasingly faster and stable![/I]
[B]Annoyances/ Bugs left out in this Firmware- (Nokia ! Please listen Carefully!)[/B]-
1. I read somwhere on the internet that this Firmware brings Search 4.0. However what I got was a very stupid Web search! I un-installed this app instantly as its pretty useless.I downloaded the Search 4.0 from nokia site, but it threw up and Incompatiblity error.
3. There is High-pitched whine (Whistle like) when Mobile is connected to my 8 Channel speaker using 3.5mm Jack. This is simply disgusting!
4.The uninstall links for ALL apps and THEMES on the memort card are gone! its so difficult to un-install those themes now!
6. I've lost quite a few Apps that were installed. Thebackup coul'dnt restore them.
7. there is a slight diffrence between Autofocus sound and actual focus.
Similarly, there is disparency between Actual shutter release and Shutter sound.Sound comes before action. This problem was not present on older firmware.
8. The RAM still leaks a lot. It falls down to 8~9 MB after using a few apps and quitting them.
9.Sequence mode is still useless. It takes random number of shots and shuts down.
10.large Images sometimes do not load in gallery, A small red cross appears instead.
11.More noise in viewfinder, Final results are better tough.
12.Graphic Equalizer messed up. All presets are shown as 'Flats' no matter what the effect.
[B]World-known (in)Famous stupidities by nokia[/B]-
One minute time limit for audio recording
One hour Video recorder limit no matter free space.
Unable to use LED light as torch (Oh come on!)
(Horror! Horror!)
Unable to share .sis , .jar, Ringtones and Music(Mp3 and WAV) through bluetooth!
And yes, Nokia still has the tag 'Connecting people' and 'Sharing redifined!'
[B]Heck ! I can't even send some of my tones to my friend! Very GOOD Dear nokia ! [/B](Pun Explicitly intednded!)
