Review N73
This is a phone that came out about two months ago now, and I think I have put it through the hoops. Its a really good phone but with a few kinks to work out.
Positives:
- Strong signal
- Bright and large screen
- Extremely good web browser
- Very load speaker
- Very good pictures
- Lots of tools
- Very versatile information for contacts
- Long battery life
- Very light for size
- Good buttons and joystick
- Multimedia player is very good, and slideshow for pictures is very good.
- Sms stored on Mini-SD so it can be moved
- No limit on number of SMSes and Contacts. I havent reached the limit yet and Im at 867 messages with 483 contacts.
- Keypad lights up only in the dark. (Light Sensitive)
Negatives:
- Slow to load sms or mms menu (new or to read)
- A bit slow to open contacts
- Freezes if you try too many things when its running slow
- Multimedia loads a bit slow as well
- Bluetooth needs to be adjusted, it seems not one to connect after a few times. Then you have to restart it to get the Bluetooth working again.
Overall I think its a great phone, but I wish it wasnt slow for sms and contacts since its the two things that I use the most. So its a bit frustrating when I have to send a quick sms, and if you try to force it then it will hang even more. But I think if it gets a software upgrade maybe they worked on that part. If the software improves I would bump it up to 4 stars!
Price: 143 KD

The slowdowns are because of the buggy S60.3 operating system. Check with Nokia if they have any updates .. it made a huge difference on my N80.
Frankom: i was using phone memory for a while and nothing made that much of a difference! Its always relatively slow for some reason!
Fonzy: I dont know who John Smith is! looool!
Cyber: your right!
K: I will try to update at a later point! I think the camera is great on it and I love the speaker but the damn msg is really slow. I hope they have an update soon!
Nokia .. so not my TASTE.. you never find these kinds of problems with SE phones.. Heck even Motoroalla’s are better than Nokia’s in my Case :S… K800i Rules .. and the P990 and the M600
fractal: K800i seems to be working well for people! Nice! 990 is waaayyy too big! I just saw it yesterday!
i’m an ericsson gal.. using the K800i and loving it. BUT, if i were to consider using a nokia, the N73 woulda been my choice. however, considering ur comment about response rate, strike that thought.
:: For SMS/MMS (slow matter) try to switch the memory from ur Memory card to Phone memory …
For contacts its working fine with me and it is normal
