Nokia N73 > Reviews

Advantages: Really good camera, Easy to use with lots of features
Disadvantages: It can run slowly and the updates are not reliable

I have owned Nokia mobile phones for years, changing it every year for an upgrade. I moved away from Nokia to a Samsung phone for one year and regretted it. The phone I had was great but I don’t believe you can beat how simple it is to use a Nokia phone and that no matter which one you get, the navigation and lay out is generally the same and very simple to use. After my year contract was up I moved back to purchasing a Nokia. 6 months ago I moved ... Read review

Advantages: Good camera, typically easy to use, amazing video quality
Disadvantages: Feels flimsy, X series has more bugs than a nature documentary

This is technically the best Nokia camera phone on the market with it's 3.2mp camera, pipping the Nokia N93 by 0.2 of a megapixel. The only phone on the market that equals it is the Sony Ericsson K800i, which has the same quality camera. However, as is always the case whenever I get a "state of the art Nokia", I find myself noticing adverts for the 5 megapixel N95, to be released in March. It would be nice if Nokia could spend a little more time celebrating ... Read review

Advantages: Good Camera/Video Facilities
Disadvantages: No Standard Charger or Message Counter

I purchased the Nokia N73 as a replacement for my Current 6230i. It was the only phone out at the time i bought which really took my eye with its style, colour and most of all...features. The handset is a bar style design and is available in a range of colours. Mine is the Purple backed one, which i was given with no choice buy the operator at the time. The phone looks stunning from the outset. The N73 weighs 116 grams & measures 110 x 49 x19 ... Read review

Advantages: Camera, Range of applications
Disadvantages: Battery life when viewing media, Technicality of device

After previously owning a Nokia handsets then switching over to sony erricson, when i saw this phone up for grabs in a contract with Three i decided to give it a go with the X-series silver addon. (Mobile internet, Msn,Ebay,Skype,Web browsing,etc.) The mobile itself perhaps comes accross as a little heavy and bulky for the average user to begin with but the compatability and extensive range of features and applications for this little device soon ...

Advantages: Large Screen, Great Camera, Good Operating System, Vast Number of Features
Disadvantages: Bit Plasticky, Supplied PC software doesn't seem to work out of the box

...phone is supplied with the Nokia PC suite which allows you to transfer files between the phone and a PC. This is where my biggest gripe comes from. After installing the PC suite on my computer no matter what I did I could not get my phone to connect to it via the supplied USB cable (I haven't tried Bluetooth or infra-red so can't comment on them). After several failed attempts I noticed a small link at the bottom of the software to update it online. ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent screen quality, fantastic camera, sensible key layout
Disadvantages: Prone to freezing, slow start-up, slow with memory card inserted

...and a CD with the Nokia PC suite software. As long as your PC runs Windows XP, you can connect your phone to your PC. This is very easy to do, with on-the-screen instructions. The battery standby time is satisfactory, although talktime is not as good, and use of games can drain the battery quite quickly. The N73 features two cameras - the main camera on the reverse of the phone is a 3.2 megapixel monster, protected by a sliding lens guard. A ... Read review

Advantages: Stylish - Impressive Camera - Easy to use
Disadvantages: Poor build quality - Software bugs

I am approaching the time to upgrade my phone from the N73. I have used this phone for approximately 12 months and overall I am happy I chose the phone. Initial Impressions / Styling - 4.5 Stars Initial impressions when removing the phone from the packaging were good, it had a certain wow factor that would surely make this phone a great fashion accessory. The screen was big and bright, the silver reflected sunlight like expensive jewelery and ... Read review

Advantages: lots of features
Disadvantages: the features don't work & generally the phone doesn't work either

...for the release of the Nokia N95 but as usual with nokia the release date kept getting pushed back but that's a different matter and this review is for the N73 not how bad Nokia is as a whole. I decided to get the N73 because at the time the specifications where rather impressive. It has a 3.2 megapixel camera, a good quality screen and the symbian operating system allows for various functionality. some specs as follows: a) The 3.2 megapixel ... Read review

Advantages: Stacks of Features - Great Camera - Long Battery Life
Disadvantages: Weighty - Symbian OS Slows to a Crawl - Build Quality Questionable

...For the features it boasts, Nokia has managed to cut down the physical size of the phone compared to previous models: the 3250 springs to mind. This is all well and good but the handset is still reasonably beefy compared to some other smart phones and most stylish mobiles out there. Can it redeem itself with the feature-set? *********** The Guts! *********** For those more technically minded readers, the N73 is built around an ARMv1024 processor ... Read review

Advantages: camera
Disadvantages: battery life

...the best camera of current nokia phones. A lot of Java apps are not correctly re-sized (zoomed) to fit the entire screen estate of the N73 (wasn't screen scaling meant to be a feature of S60 3rd Edition for older Java apps?), sometimes resulting in a confusing mess being drawn on screen as the application attempts to use just a subset of the N73's screen. With the way firmware updates can significantly improve the performance and functionality ... Read review

Advantages: Multitude of features & applications
Disadvantages: Will you actually use them though?

...which you would have thought Nokia could sort out by now is that of the phone switching itself off all the time. Especially now that my phone is a little older, I have found that it just decides to die for no apparent reason, often in the middle of an important conversation. Thirdly, whilst the phone actually has a fairly good camera (although it is useless in low light) and an mp3 player, the memory card provided is tiny, meaning that you have to ... Read review

Advantages: fantastic camera, easy to use, practical and one of the best on the market
Disadvantages: not hugely elegant

...and simple as plenty of Nokia phones. The main menu (in either list or grid format) is nice and easy to use. However, the subsections and subsections of subsections are sometimes confusing and certain options and applications are not where you'd think they would be and you can sometimes find yourself lost. One thing I find annoying with the phone in particular is the small keypad and joystick. With big clumsy fingers like myself, it is even more ... Read review
