Hi Gyus

I have what is probably going to be considered a very newbie question. I have just recieved a new N73 from Orange, apart from it being black with bloody great Orange logos on. the have put their crap all over the Symbian OS.

I have figured out how to chance my product code ect and use the updater to change the firmware.

but...

What product code do i need. I want pretty much the generic Nokia stuff (it is the music edition of the phone, but i assume the only difference is packaged software)

I have read the list of product codes and in the top lists it has Euro one and Euro 2 (some of these are repeaded in the same list with different product codes.)

I chose 0539101 (seems to be Euro 1 for music edition)

Do i need to use a music edition PC if i have a music edition phone?

Which is best PC for the UK?

Where can i get the Orange connection software from GPRS and WAP ect after i flash the ROM? (this is the one bit i have no idea about yet) if i backup all data and settings to the micro SD can i restore them after the flash including connection settings?

if reading this newbie question annoys you, sorry i did try to warn you in the thread title. and as for telling me to search next time. i have tried serching i have sucessfully found out how to change the rom without bothering anyone so please help me with the one small thing

I tried this P/C but it just came up saying no software updates are available. i tried again now the app seems to be running really slow, and wont even start up on my laptop anymore. it doesnt give me the option to reinstall the software anymore??

any ideas?

Hi again, I just put my P/C (Product Code) back in as my original orange one so im guessiung that since the product code you gave me showed the nokia update software that the software available was the same for both product codes so did not allow an update. now that ive put my orange P/C back on it finds no update but the option of reinstalling
