Nokia N73 Review
The Nokia N73.

The Nokia N73 is a nicely weighted phone that feels good to hold and better to use. A small keypad makes way for a large, high-quality screen.
It's photography that defines the Nokia N73. The 3.2-megapixel camera has a Carl Zeiss lens and autofocus (but strangely no flash) plus all the usual photographic features. You'll also find a music player, Bluetooth, quad-band and expandable memory.
The Symbian 60 OS is simple to navigate, and internet browsing is enhanced by Nokia's MiniMap system. However, the Nokia N73's keypad is cramped and the joystick unresponsive and frustrating.
The Nokia N73 takes vivid pictures even without flash. They are saturated with colour, which may put some off. The QVGA screen is crsip and clear. It takes some trickery to make music sound good through the bundles headphones.
246 minutes of talktime is not too bad, but if you are listening to music, talking pictures and browsing the web on the Nokia N73, you may need to take your charger with you.
Pros: The 3.2-megapixel Carl Zeiss lens takes some delicious-looking snaps and pushes the N93 close for picture performance.
Cons: The navigation joystick might drive punters to commit hari-kari with its obstinate action, while the pokey keypad doesn't fare much better.

Verdict: The N73 is an expert camera phone and splendid Symbian smartphone. However, usability issues and ordinary design curse its record.
