Future Fimware upgrades for Nokia N73
Good evening to you all.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction as to where I can find out about future firmware upgrades for the Nokia N73.
There appears to be a few quirks in the s/ware at the minute, and it would be nice to know when/if they're to be sorted.
Many thakns.
Regards James

Quirks? Can you please elaborate?
I have the N73 and am very happy with it - an extremely impressive phone. I don't have any problems with it at all.
I do wish Nokia would follow suit with Sony Ericsson and allow users to update their own firmware via USB.

As per my other post.
When in stand by mode , when you press & hold # , it is meant to allow you to switch profiles from General to Silent , and vice versa. It doesn't.
Also , when making a call , the right soft key then shows Video Call , instead of back.
According to other forums , this is down to the firmware & it appears that the # short cut was for some reason left off after final release.
My firmware is v2.0628.0.0.1 (press *#0000# to find out)

Looks like I am mistaken: you can update the firmware via PC (and OTA).

Good man.
Quicker solution. Assign one of your soft keys as your profiles instead of Messages & Clock. Just press it and then scroll down to which profile you want. Much easier & kinder to the fingers than pressing the power button at the top.
Or , put your profile settings as the first icon on the tool bars. Just press this once & scroll down etc.
Regards James

Agreed. However, I've already assigned all my keys to various uses such as Bluetooth, Alarm Clock, SMS New Message, File Manager, Call/SMS logs etc. |

Actually it does! I mis-read it: it says "Wife" and not "WiFi"! |
