Something I discovered... In N73ME, there's NO way to close the Music Player ie it's always running in background!!

The GREAT NEWS is :
In new V4 FW for std N73, yu can use inbuilt Task Mgr to goto Music Player which takes yu to Music menu. Select Options and then Exit.
Chk with Task Manager and voila! MP is NO longer running...

OR while in MP mode, yu can goto same Music Menu screen & do the same.

To use MP after that, just do so via usual Menu route or use the MM Key ie select MP. Yu'll see an animated "Opening..." bar and voila! Yr MP is back & running!

Enjoy yr "FREEDOM"!

Re item (1) abv, inbuilt Task Mgr of N73ME NOT allow close or "kill" Music Player.
Even new V4 FW in std N73 does NOT allow that, too!

Re item (2), yup...agreed! 3rd party S/ware, eg Handy Task Mgr, enables yu to do so. (Note: my comments were comparing provided orig firmware only. )

Something is NOT right...Since just bought, suggest go back to shop!!
Mayb charger given is not FAST charger...

1 more improvement to my std N73 with latest V4 FW...
Previously I had given up all hope of ever using Voice Commands to call up/activate functions...I get all kinds of WRONG results!

NOW, I can activate my BT, preferred Profiles, Camera, etc by long pressing the Right Soft Key and using my own voice! An PERFECT match each time!!

How abt yu guys?

Re batt charger, I'm using an ACP 12E with adapter...Output 800mA only but Fully charges in abt 2 hrs fr empty!

Re virus protection, AFAIK only F-Secure has an AV prg for S60 V3 phones. Why are the other companies so slow in coming out with their own support?
Trend Micro provides a free copy of their own Mobile AV prg for their users but ONLY for S60 V2 phones...

Agreed. Definitely Telco network problem!

My 2 cents...

shah6630 has hit the nail on the head, so to say!
Yup...it's a very high probability that restoring fr mem card resulted in conflicts with firmware.
Starting everything fr scratch is best remedy & solution to eliminate problems.
Use 3rd party s/ware with caution. Install one at a time. Test out functions of phone for a reasonable time. If ok, then only install another one. Otherwise, remove that s/ware.

After encountering problems, I now only install Nokia approved s/ware or those I or friends who hv tested to be w/o conflict with firmware.

3G is NOT available in MOST parts of Malaysia...sorry...
Different Telcos offers 3G services in different areas in different parts of Malaysia.
Like shah6630 said, do pls chk with yr Network Provider abt local access.

And, shah6630, I was & am still doing exactly what you are doing...learning as much as I can abt Symbian phone behaviour & pecularities...
So that I can understand why certain things work & others don't. Also the underlying causes of problemss. Ha ha!
And, ya...can be FUN, too!

UPDATE : Yippee! Me decided to go for broke! Oledi updated to latest V4.0726.2.0.1 firmware...successfully!
Now testing...most noticeable are the menu items grouping...got special Internet group now...
Not2worry...ME type Music Player is STILL there!! Haha!

Congrats, my fren... !!
Firstly decision is made by you...sincerely hope it is based on yr needs and NOT what yu hear/read...
As always on new purchases, read the manual fr start to finish...and understand what the N73ME has and can do...
As in every gadget, there are limitations, plusses & minuses...
Best advice : Do anything step by step...don't rush things.

May yu enjoy yr new HP...Good Luck!

If not wrong, those (shadowy parts) are the gaps between the backlighting sources (LEDs) for the screen...

yup. Not really noticeable unless one examines the display closely. So not a prob.
