Reset your phone using three finger method
follow this instruction :

Turns off the phone
Press simultaneously on the green/talk, 3 and* keys and hold the 3 keys.
Turn on your phone
Wait for the onscreen Format message then can release the three keys
This method may also work for Nokia phones that won't turn on.
Note that before making a reset on Nokia's latest phone
using the *#7370# or the 3 finger method, better make a backup, as you will automatically delete important data:
The license for pre-loaded contents (music, video, maps,etc..)

I also facing the same memory problem (even phone did not let me send SMS) and solved it many times without software update or reset factory setting.

First of all make sure that your phone memory is not occupied by messages, contacts, images, sound files etc. Check in Menu --> Tools--> File Manager --> Options (Memory details)

If you fine that the phone memory is occupied by any of these then remove or move file to get space. If very less space occupied by these applications and still shows memory almost used then do the following and it may work for you:


1. Clear logs.... Menu-->Applications-->Logs-->
2. Delete sent messages items
3. Clear delivery reports
4. Delete few messages from Inbox
5. Restart the phone

All the best.

hi there!
On this matter, you have to bring your Nokia N73 to a Nokia Care Center near you. If you have updated it in a wrong way, those are the right people to further check your software.

N73 start up problem

Your phone needs to be reprogrammed, only a repair shop can do this for you.

You need to download the latest Nokia PC Suite to do an update on your phone.
Before updating software you should check that there’s a newer version of software available.

WARNING
When updating software on Mobs, be sure to:
HAVE A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY INSERTED;
PUT IT ON GENERAL PROFILE;
TURN OFF YOUR PIN NUMBER;
CONNECT YOUR CHARGER TO YOUR MOB AND SWITCH IT ON;
DO NOT ----- DO NOT ---- TOUCH YOUR PHONE WHILE THE UPDATE IS GOING ON;
THIS CAN TAKE 30 MINUTES OR MORE.
And obviously don’t unplug the phone from the PC.
Be patient, you may have to do a restart or two on your mob afterwards. Even remove the battery to get it going again (not recommended). But give it plenty of time.
It is also wise not to use your PC while updating software, just in case the PC freezes.
If the PC freezes during an update, you’re up the creek without a paddle...

I did an update on a Sony Eric 810i it took nearly two hours.
More... Your phone turns itself on and off, sometimes more than once while updating software, you should leave it well alone during the update.
