New N73 Music Edition Firmware


Nokia recently slipped out a new firmware update for the N73 Music Edition,3.0649.0.0.31.

There's an ongoing thread on HowardForums discussing it, with a few members who have taken the plunge. Member TooCool has supplied us with a changelog, which is available after the break.
A quick summation, it appears as though they've changed the boldness of the entries on Active Standby, removed the "exit" option in the Music Player Equalizer screen, and made some other assorted changes.


Personally, I'll be keeping plain-jane Vanilla firmware on my N73. I have a huge problem with the Music Player ALWAYS being open. What's the point? As far as I can tell, all it does it use up memory. If I want to listen to music, I'll open it. Having it auto-start when I turn the phone on, with no "exit" feature, is silly to me.
