A2dp Stereo Bluetooth now available for most Nokia N73!
July 12th, 2007 by Optimus 
Nokia has released the newest firmware update for most N73 models and upgraded it with a more stable release than before.
I can verify that the A2dp function works well with the Motorola S9 headphones. Pairing it up and even using it to answer phone calls are easy and straight forward.
The phone also feels more responsive, it’s like having a new phone!
Though, I have not been getting very good pictures with the camera under indoor conditions. I will try out more over the next few days.
To update : Just use the Nokia Software Updater.
UPDATE: You can use your original phone code now. (There’s no need for the use of another product code already) Just make sure the firmware is 4.0.2.xxxxx.

Sorry, I’m a little confused. I have the original (non-ME) N73. Are you saying the new firmware for it enables A2DP? Or do I still need to go through the process of altering its product code?

Hi George,
Yes, the current firmware that Nokia is updating (both the ME and non ME versions are out) enables A2dp. Make sure the firmware is version 4.0.2.xxxx
So you do not need to change the product code anymore.

I have N73 with the latest firmware 4.0726.2.0.1 and when I go to the Bluetooth menu it will not detect my S9 headset. Ive tried searching over and over and turning off Bluetooth then on again but it wont pickup the S9 at all. Any idea what the problem could be?

Hi Eddie,
Did you managed to put the S9 on pairing mode? I believe it’s press and hold the on button until it flashes 3 times in blue and keep holding till it holds steady in blue.
Then do the pairing.
Let me know if you need more help.

Optimus you rule! I did what you said and it flashed blue and red, and then my N73 picked it up straight away. Thank you

I have Motorola BT820 stereo headphone set that pairs well with my HTC Touch and also with my wife’s Nokia 5700 ExpressMusic. The player controls on the headphones work well for both these phones (didn’t expect them to control Windows Media Player 10 but was pleasantly surprised!). However, with my brother’s Nokia N73 ME, the audio is only in mono. I tried all kinds of configuration options, but to no avail. Would it be a problem with A2DP? Thought ME came with A2DP. Could anyone help, please?

Hi Ajit,
Can you check what firmware is your N73ME running?
put in “#0000#” on the main screen to see what is the firmware version.
