I’ll update my Nokia N73 firmware

By on May 27, 2008 in News

That’s what I’ll do, I said to myself this afternoon, I’ll update my Nokia N73 firmware. It’s a bit old, you see, my N73. It’s a bit 2006. I found this news on the Nokia Updater site and reckoned it’d be worth a look:

Nokia N73 software version 4.0812.4.x released – 22 May 2008

This software version includes support for mobile TV (when used with SU-33W receiver) and Express Mail clients. This release also includes updates and improvements to Nokia Maps and improved Java support.

I fired up the Nokia Software Updater thinking that ‘they’ll surely have fixed that Vista problem by now’…. but no. Still screwed.

Arse.

    Oh come on Ewan, I and others have commented several times on how to get round the Vista limitation – cough: Windows XP SP2 compatibility – do please give it a try…. But yes, it would be better if Nokia actually fixed this officially.

    You make a fair point Steve. However I think you said you wouldn't advise
    doing it on a phone that you actually need — is that still the case?

    I too found this a problem. I received a message on my PC when I connected my phone. New software is available for your phone. If I had not backed up my phone I would have been totally screwed. My phone would not boot up after the upgrade. I had to re-install the old software version and format the memory card. I lost a lot of programs and apps it had took me about 1 year to build up.
    Be very careful if you are considering using this upgrade, be happy with what you have.
