N73 firmware versions - LATEST FIRMWARE listed here!
just tried here, with the EURO1 code no update is available..
Change to product code 0542531 and you will be able to get the latest 4.0747.31.0.1 firmware 😊
OK so I just changed my product code using Nemisis and used NSU to update 😊
Not too bad runs a tad faster
I now have un un removable English-Chinese Dictionary though =/ and the camera noise cannot be turned of 😞
@richbowen:
I'm thinking about upgrading, can you advise to what you've noticed on the new FW please?
thanks!
The new firmware is undeniably faster 😊
I have 17mb free RAM unlike my old FW where I had 15mb
Its overall a lot smoother 😊
BUT if you dont like your camera making noise when a photo is taken do not upgrade, because you can NOT turn it off with this firmware.
But other than that I would go for it 😃
Thanks .. any other changes you notice would be greatly appreciated :icon14:

Can you tell me with this firmware whether the flashing curser is still present in the call box when making a call? Is this firmware for the regular N73 or the Music Edition?
Dear all,
I just updated my N73 Black edition
V3.06 RM 133 (India) to V 4.07
Here are a my experiences-
Imporverments Noticed!--
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
Actually, Whole phone is Pleasingly faster and stable!
Annoyances/ Bugs left out in this Firmware- (Nokia ! Please listen Carefully!)-
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.
World-known (in)Famous stupidities by nokia-
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!'
Heck ! I can't even send some of my tones to my friend! Very GOOD Dear nokia ! (Pun Explicitly intednded!)

Can you tell me about the flashing curser during calls? Is it still there when making a call?
Also with this firmware you lose the abilty to play songs in a random order from a playlist =/
Ok I have solved the problem I metioned before! For shuffle:
1) Open the music player
2) Select Artists
3) Select the Bands name
4) Play one of the songs
5) Choose 'options'
6) Shuffle 'on'
7) Close the music player
Very long way to do it but it works and makes all playlists play in a random ord
Upgraded mine to 4.0747.31.0.1 last night mainly cos I was interested in getting more free RAM.
I ended up with 20MB free instead of 15MB.
Certainly speeded the phone up.
Reinstalled all apps I had from the PC Suite backup, bar one; Slick messenger which was no problem to reinstall.
It's not an ME firmware upgrade though because the multimedia key is back now, replacing the dedicated Music Key from the diamond.
Accordingly Stave and Waveform themes have gone.
Fonts are bigger/blockier than previous too but overall I'm happy wth more RAM and quicker SMS/Contacts/Camera/Gallery access times
Cursor still flashing in call box which has never bothered me as the phone is against your ear when you're calling 😊
Can you post some screen shots of the new fonts? text size?
Also - would you confirm that the new FW is BETTER than the previous?
lastly - what languages do you have now?

Hi Texx,
What product code is 0542531? I currently have 0527009, are they compatible? Thanks!
to solve a bit about the camera shutter sound..
just change to camera4 in the option.. it's not totally mute the sound, but actually it's the much less noise of all the camera sound in the option..
just a quick click..

The 0542531 product code is an Asian/English one I think. As someone else mentioned, it gives you a Chinese/English dictionary application. But everything is in English and there are no problems there.
I also like the new slightly bigger font, although the web font is slightly smaller than before.
All you need to do is use NSS to change the product code of your phone then use Nokia Software Updater to get the new firmware. Enjoy! 😊
4.0750.31.2.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep I am back so soon with great news for all you n73 and n73 ME owners
The latest FW is back
All that is needed is for you to change your product code using NSS (nemisis service suite) to 0545033
Then just run NSU (nokia software updater) and you are done.
I have just dont this myself and have yet to explore it any further look out for my post with in the next hour or so!
OK wasnt an hour but:
I have been playing with it for a while and I only have a few things to say:
1) The RAM is greatly improved with no apps running I now have 18mb of free RAM
2) Yes I am sorry to say the blue haze is still here =/
3) Thats it I am sorry to say apart from improved speed and page loading there is nothing more to say.

AGREE 100% - My RAM never goes below 18mb no matter how many apps are open, a definite massive improvement... Pictures still look blue-ish, not very good... in fact, my old Sony Ericsson W810 (2MP) took nicer pictures..
This FW has NOT caused me ANY issues, no resets no nothing.. no sure why Nokia pulled it.. Ohh, the only bug I've seen is that my new Equalizer preset changes on it's own.. maybe Nokia thought this gremlin to be bad enough to yank?? ;->

are you sure the RAM didnt get low and low after opening apps ..?
i have updated to this firmware.. yes, an improvement from previous fw on the RAM .. but the memory still leaks especially you open the gallery .. it sucks every ram you have each time you browse... and it wont restore back the memory..
so my problem would be with this new fw is the memory leak issue... sometimes had to restart my phone just to play some games that needed high ram... hahaha..
my n73me product code is 0543843
right now mine is v3.06.38.0.0.30 rm-133
what is the latest firmware for this n73me?
tx n regardz
The latest is 4.0808.something, depends on region/product code though.
richbowen wrote:4.0750.31.2.1
Certainly seems a bit faster. Seem to have lost my # button shortcut though (hold # down to switch between silent and general profile).
Ive still got the pre-pulled version of this, but from hat ive read they just boughtout the same version again. im tempted to re-install just incase there is a difference.
however i have to advise you all- NOKIA HAVE A LOG OF EVERY FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD AND EVERY PRODUCTCODE DOWNLOAD USED, WITH DATES AND TIMES.
So yes, they can see every time you have changed your product code to change firmware.
Now be carefull with this, cod depentant on the country- this may or may not affect your warranty. Also if you change product code to a different MODEL (ie me to ie version etc) this will most likely invalid your warranty (where as just changing product code to differnt reagion wont).
Anyways anyone tell me the region code for the 4.08 firmware and any improvements and bugs?
thanks
4.08
THIS FIRMWARE IS BADLY GLITCHED IT HAS NOW BEEN PULLED.
You cannot change volume on radio and music player the RAM is lower than the version before overall a very poor firmware and I feel sorry for anyone who has installed it! 😞

Hello all!
I just stumbled upon a disgusting drawback of N73 Black firmware V4.07!
You LOOSE your ability to download !!!:icon13:
Yeah! you heard righ!
I've downloaded Files As large as 60 MB on EDGE using my N73 with V3.06 firmware! This is A Huge step back!:frown:
'
Oh Boy I am really angry! 😡
I've paid bucks for One year EDGE contract and its all going down the drain!
This stupid:icon13: firmware silently dowloands the whole file (takes hours on EDGE) and throws a Frustratin error in the end! - Unknown file format!! DAmm ! And EDGE is expensive you know!😡
Nokia is really disheartening! if already big list of annoyances were not enough, here comes one again! Ohh!!😡
I bet my next phone will be an SE or some Windows powered device!
What A FOOL NOKIA is ! They are reducing convininece in new updates!
NEVER buy NOKIA AGAIN! :icon13:😡:icon4:
Are you sure it wasn't a one off issue?
If not then why not try using a different browser to download content with.
I use the Opera browser which I've downloaded large files with on this firmware release.
Dear,`
i agree,there are browsers available that allow to download stuff.opera is one of the best,but its commercial.`
what i wanted to say is that nokia does not live up to its claims.
'connecting people'
'sharing re defined'
'full web experience' are far from reality.
any web browser cannot be called complete if it can't even download simple files. S60 browser- the best mobile experience you say ? If i can't even download a simple freeware then its all useless.
3rd party will do the things for sure.
But will you pay extra for tyres when buying a car? Sure-alloy wheels will be extra,but the car atleast comes with pretty good wheels that get the work done!
what drove me mad that it was possibe to download using old firmware,but this 'update' actually took away the function!
