Nokia N73 Mobile Phone

hiya thanks for looking at my review ive only got 3500 charcters so ill have to keep it short.

ive owned the n73 for 6 months now and i thought i should tell anyone looking for a new phone how good it is.

first let me start by telling you that when the first phone was released it had some software issues was slow at sending texts kept crashing etc however the phone is now over a year old and nokia technicians have had time to sort the software out--this is easily avalible free over the net via download and is very easy to do all you do is connect your n73 via usb download a program from nokia and run it 30 mins later you have a fully updated phone.just check the nokia website out.if you read alot of reviews out there please remember that they may have had the old software installed hence they may have had problems and been anoyyed about the phone
i have the latest software installed form the nokia website and to be honest with you this phone rocks

good things about the phone
great camera 3.2 megapixel with auto focus and flash
symbian operating system
sat nav compatible works great with tomtom 6
fast bluetooth version 2
big screen with bright vibrant colours
great battery life
very well built nice and sturdy feels good in your hands
very loud speakers for music and handsfree
expandable memory up to 2gb
much faster then my old n70
great games and applications
can play movies
great video camera mp4 quality
easy to sync and i mean very easy
can play megadrive games snes games and gameboy games :-)
has a stanby mode to save battery phone is still live just saves power :-)
very stylish

things that are not so good
headphones supplied
no wifi

ha ha thats about it seriously the only thing i can fault this phone on is the headphones its supplied with
but you can buy a adapter so you can use any headphones just check out ebay and i use my cx 300s with it and the sound is awesome :-)
when i say the battery life is good i use the mp3 player for about 4-5 hours at work and when i finish work after a few calls and a few games to the battery has used 1 bar at the max with the built in satndby mode this phone dosent suck up the juice at all just make sure you dont have bluetooth on every min of the day and turn packet data to recieve when needed :-)

i used to own the n70 please see my other review , its a great phone too i really like it but nokia have tweaked the n73 to make it what the n70 should have been in the 1st place
you see nokia arent stupid they could have released this as the n70 but they take it in stages with slight but signifficant changes to each handset in their range ie this n73 has no wifi but then they released the n80 which does have wifi but has no autofocus on the camera.very clever marketing from nokia

would i recomend this phone
yes very much so when they 1st come out they were quite exspensive but as time has gone on they have come down in price and as people renew their contracts youll find them popping up all over ebay and amazon
ive bought a few phones off ebay and they have all worked ok so dont worry about that just do your research on the seller etc

i truly love this phone i have a seperate mp3 player a seperate camera etc but when i dont wanna carry them all about then the nokia n73 does all of their jobs and it does them very well indeed a recomended purchase :-)

if you found this helpfull then please vote for it

thanks happy ebaying

first of all im a bit of a phone person,had many phones and got bored really quick of them and ended up getting new one's all the time..........till the n73 came out .......what a phone.
I love IT so much your can do with this phone sat nav,music player,radio,3D speakers,full internet,and ive down loaded pocket divx and i can watch full dvds on my phone( down loaded to 1gig memory card)which i got 3 full dvds on.
Nokia are all ways adding things to the down load function on the phone at the touch of a button you can add extra stuff to your phone e.g firewall, anti virus, sms accel ( send messages in super quick time)
i even connect my phone to my computer and use it as a modem it nearly as quick as broaddband and not forgetting the camrea 3.2 meg which you have an option to take your pictures in different sizes so when it comes to printing them they print in 10x8 or 7x5 or 6x4 or just mms size.
and now there is nokia plus were you can watch love film ,bandwago ,NME,NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC and so on look i could go on for ever about this phone
JUST GO AND GET ONE YOU WILL LOVE IT

The phone is everything in one. It has the best camera quality i've ever seen in a phone, and the night time pictures, even in pure darkness look like they were taken in daylight.

The maps (GPS) application and functions are excellent, no problems with it whatsoever

The sound quality from the stereo speakers is phenominal, very loud, and this allows for the built in loudspeaker to act as a great hands-free kit, no need to go an buy one!

Nokia are billing this as : 'what computers have become'
for me, thats right on the money. it does everything, its small.. (it really is small.. smaller than my N70 and does 10X more!) and its also light!

Nokia simply keep surpassing themselves by constantly producing better phones than there rivals. The N73 is awesome. Its extremely easy to use, has great functions and has a large screen to enjoy your pictures. The 3.2 MP camera is clear and of great quality.

As its a Nokia phones it is obviously easier to use than all its competitors.

The Sat Nav is fantastic. A great function to have on a phone especially for someone like me who always gets lost !!!

I have no faults to report or no issues with this phone. It is simply a must have !!!!
