Ok,
So I thought perhaps my N73 was painfully slow before, so I updated to the latest version on here : v4.0747.31.0.1
and although the memory free is better with 16mb free, the phone itself is even more slow to respond than before, going into messages takes 6-10 seconds, and generally the phone is even more sluggish than before.
Nokia what are you playing at? Why can't you still get it right after all these updates? N73 has to be the worst and slowest phone I have even owned, pull your finger out and fix the firmware so we a least have a usuable phone...
