Hey N73user,,i agree with u on the poor customer service rendered by nokia service centre.i encountered a similar situation b4 with my 6230i.
just for ur info,,dun believe them if they say they have changed ur pcb board..it may not be the case..to make sure,,chk if ur imei no: has changed,,they should issue u a new imei no if they really have changed ur fone's pcb.if not means then there was no change in pcb.
To change pcb board is costly and is as gd as getting a new fone,,so nokia is quite reluctant to do so..its their lasr resort usually.....

Title: 4 Trips To Wheel Lock Nokia Service Centre (Singapore)
Hi, all. I using Nokia N73. Here's the final full report.
====================================================================
Background
====================================================================
I try to upgrade my phone firmware 3.0704.1.0.1 to the latest version 4.0726.2.0.1.
After upgrading done, it takes 10 secs to search for a contact in my address book whenever
you do it by going to Contact or from Message to insert recipent in SMS.
There is no change in the number of contacts in my address book before I upgrade to the latest firmware.
So I went down to Nokia service centre at Wheel Lock Orchard Singapore.
====================================================================
13 Days Just To Install Firmware
====================================================================
I send my phone to Nokia centre at Wheel Lock on July 6 (Friday). Tracking number is WHLA172261-001.
Nokia personnel called me up on July 7 (Sat) to inform me that my phone will be sent to HQ.
On July 20 (Fri), I got back my phone with firmware 4.0727.2.2.1 installed. The menu was all change to my
surprise. And when I press the right top button, it goes to Music player immediately. I check my phone,
format it and install back all software and go to sleep.
On July 21 (Sat), the problem happened again.
"It takes 10 secs to search for a contact in my address book whenever you do it by going to Contact or from
Message to insert recipent in SMS."
I check forum and discovered that the firmware 4.0727.2.2.1 is belong to Nokia N73 Music Edition and not
Nokia N73 which supposed to be the version 4.0726.2.0.1.
I looked back at the report of what was done. It was basically not change of hardware, but I guess simply
firmware upgrade and the worst part is that they upgrade the wrong firmware version for me without
knowing it. 13 days just to install firmware !!! What a joke!
====================================================================
PCB Board Change But Still Problems
====================================================================
On the same day July 21 (Sat), I sent my phone to Nokia centre and highlighted to them this problem.
They said that they will try to get it done by July 24 (Tue).
Tracking number is WHLA175495-001.
Upon getting back my phone, the firmware was correctly installed which is the version 4.0726.2.0.1.
However, when I accessing my address book, same problem occured with my current address book and
number of contact...
"It takes 10 secs to search for a contact in my address book whenever you do it by going to Contact or from
Message to insert recipent in SMS."
And I have to reduce the number of contact and its information attached to it. What a failure of this firmware.
This is not supposed to happened! And she told me to accept it.
Another problem is that whenever I on my hand phone, I have to key in the date and time!
I told the Nokia service lady that this is capacitor problem, not that after change the PCB change issue
that resulted in that the capacitor (backup battery) need to be charged. As I encountered this before with my friend
Nokia 6288, that Nokia change for me the capacitor. She said her engineer said so which I don't trust at all. When I asked her
to give me a promise to write a black and white letter to prove that their engineer is correct, she told me it is
not her policy. And when I asked for phone replacement, she said it is not their policy.
When I wake up, problem still exist. Everytime I on my phone, I have to key in date and time.
====================================================================
Last Trip To Wheel Lock Nokia
====================================================================
No choice, made my last trip to Nokia centre after work to have the backup battery change. Told them
yesterday, but they never believe me.
Imaging, a phone, N73, for the servicing, I need to make 4 trips down to Nokia service centre.
So the moral of the phone,
1) Nokia service people never listen to customer.
2) They think they are right, but in fact they are wrong. (Firmware installed wrongly, date/time issue.)
3) Their technician and service people cannot make it.
4) They want to cut cost and try not to change parts for customers when there is problem.
Give up on Nokia poor service. Although their service centre look nicer over the year, but their serivce
and professionism is not there.

one thing let me still considering NOT TO BUY n73 is someone called it "street phone".
the " street phone" just can last only a short period. then the price of the phone should dropped spiral.
and somemore the value of the phone will be suffered & like rubbish.
ha..ha.. n73 fans!
