Nokia N73 Internet EditionThe Nokia Blog reports that the Nokia N73 Internet Edition Firmware 3.0638.0.0.43 update is now available. The Nokia N73 Internet Edition was only announced in Taiwan and Hong Kong, along with other Nseries Internet editions, but anyone with the N73 can change their firmware.

As with the earlier N73 Music edition, update is quite simple. All you need to do is change your N73′s product code to to 0539366 (Hong Kong’s language pack: English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese) or 0539364 (Taiwan’s language pack: English + Traditional Chinese) and mark the case “Enable”. Full details are available from here.

Again, be aware that this procedure will invalidate any warranty on your handset.

  • James

    Important question: need help! what the main difference between music edition & internet edition?

    If you are to choose which do you prefer the best edition to install?

  • wilmar

    @ james
    There is no big difference between the ME and IE,, only you can find a Internet folder in main menu in IE.
    Depends on your prefered language when you are choosing between the two..Because Internet editon has only Chinese and English language.

  • Popescu Cristian

    downloading software is about 15 minutes and the writing of the new software is during about 20 minutes…the entire proces must be doned in aprox 40 min…if you want to have the internet folder on your menu, you must not restoring the phone backup from your mmc, if you will do it, the internet, the connectivity folder will desapear…try to save your data like contacts mesages, and other, via pcsuite, in your computer…

  • David

    Not really, I restored the backup save and the internet folder still remains on the main menu.

    I love that now I can use the A2DP profile for my car stereo bluetooth thingy. Sound is great.

    Hi,

    I have updated to the N73 IE edition however my phone now doesn’t work with my service provider, three (UK). I have changed the code back to the orginal one and tried to download the original firmware but Nokia Updater jst tells me that I have the latest firmware available. Is it possible to force the updater to choose a specific firmware or is it possible to change the firmware number using NSS so that the Nokia Update ‘thinks’ that I have a much earlier version and will load the correct version of the firmware?

  • Bips

    Can u help me tell me how can i update it is via computer or i can do this things via mobile ?

  • Akhtar

    3.press the power buttom for few second and click “retry” to continue to phone recovery.

    after i do all this

    the error message came out again

    “your phone could not be detected.please connect the usb cable

    click retry for the phone update.

    anyone can help this probelm ?

  • Zushikikato

    To ohshenking,

    I don’t know much about nokia phones but I have a possible resolution that might work.

    Try to connect the phone to your computer and when it is connected open Device Manager on My Computer>Right Click>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager…

    From there if there is a Yellow Punctuation Mark on your device you need to reight click it and choose install device driver automatically or something like that…

    Hope this one can help..

    :)

    Peace!

    hi I ran the Nokia software updater, which then attempted to update the firmware on my phone. After roughly 5 minutes of updating, my phone crashed without reason. It now will not turn on at all, and the recovery tool on the software updater has not helped so far. Is there any solution to this ?
