Nokia N73 Upgrading Firmware

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Anyone else here tired upgrading from a Normal N73 to a Music Edition as decribed on some blog.

Just so you guys know, I did! The first time didnt go so well and after a couple of days of research and deliberation, I found out my mistake.
The first time I tried upgrading, it sorta resulted in a type of system lockdown. Giving me a msg such as “Phone start-up failed. Please contact retailer.”
And so I did, and lucky they were the ppl from Chinatown who do basically anything for a bit of money, the retailers, that is. They sorta reflashed my phone to its original firmware. So when I got it back I got my old version phone..
So, what did I do?
IMMEIDATLY after I got the phone back I tried the update agian!! lol..
(Took a lot of guts cu it costed me $80 to have it fixed last time)
But this time I knew what I did wrong. After a while of a blank screen, I saw the Nokia logo, then and handshake, and then BAM MUSIC EDITION.
Sweet new theme as well and the two new included music enhancements, “stereo widening and loudness” ARE GREAT. Stereo widening does exactly what it sounds like it does, it basically stretches the sound to make music sound like it’s actually around you. (Well not really around you but just makes it so that you can hear the music more “horizontally”(?), it’s hard to describe but once you hear the difference you’ll be amazed. The loudness function is pretty good as well it is meant for the stereo widening tho, without it w/ SW on, it sounhds hollow, but w/ it on it gives more depth to the music.

Note this will most likely not work for about maybe 5% of the N73’s out there for some reason, usually varies so try on your own risk~.

As for ppl who have done this or even went above and beyond to Internet Edition please share your experiences :P
