Nokia N73 Firmware Update Includes Major Improvements

Symbian-Guru reports that the Nokia N73 has received major improvements in its newest update.  According to the discussions on Symbian Freak's Forums, the update includes both N73 ME and IE capabilities.  That sounds awesome!! 

The new version, 4.0723.2.0.1, is for the plain (aka vanilla) N73 devices and are not available for all regions (aka product codes).

Although we don't have a definate changelog, some of the improvements include:

1. Added FOTA (firmware over the air updates) abilities... YAY
2. Added the Music Edition's music player, complete with an "exit" option.
3. Support for A2DP BT profiles
4. Snakes has been removed.... hopefully there will be a download somewhere

This is great news and hopefully I can successfully update mine and post some screenshots.  But be sure to check out Symbian-Freak for more info and screenshots.

Just tried my N73 product code and PC Suite, but no luck. Wondering if anyone else has found another way to force a firmware upgrade? Did it work?
