The Nokia N73 is a good lightweight 3G and SmartPhone. It is a straight design weighing just 116g and has the dimensions of 110 x 49 x 19 mm. The keypad has a fiddly joystick and is quite small so it can be quite difficult to use.
It has an excellent camera with 3.2 megapixels, autofocus and video capabilities. Having autofocus enables the camera to automatically focus on a subject rather then using a fixed focus distance. The camera also has a flash allowing it to perform in poor lighting. It also has a second camera which is used for making video calls.
The display is TFT meaning that it can be seen even in bright sunshine. It has 262k colours and a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels making it amongst the best screens within the SmartPhones.
The music player supports a stereo MP3 sound as well as other formats such as WMA and AAC; it also has an FM radio player. The radio has a Visual Radio function which displays information of the artist and sound on the screen. With 40MB of internal memory and the option for an external memory card to be inserted, storage space for songs is plentiful.
The connectivity is also very good with Bluetooth, USB and infrared. The phone can wirelessly connect to another Bluetooth device up to 10 meters apart, whilst connecting to a PC can be done with a USB cable.
The N73 is also a 3G phone and can connect to the internet via a 3G connection enabling a 384 kbps data transfer. This is the fastest connection available as 3G is similar to a broadband connection.
It has a very good battery life considering that it is a 3G SmartPhone, with 350 hours of standby life. The operating frequency is quad band meaning that the phone can work in Europe, America and Japan.
One of the problems with this phone is that it is slow due to the software, causing the phone to crash on start up and when browsing menus. It has the Symbian S60 (3rd edition) application which can be installed on the phone using the Nokia PC Suite software, which is included with the phone.
Overall we would not recommend this as being the best SmartPhone to get as although in theory the features are very good, it is let down by the number of complaints made about the phone freezing up and crashing.

Features of the Nokia N73 include:

3G
Smartphone: S60 software on Symbian OS
Camera: 3.2 megapixel camera (2048 x 1536 pixels) with up to 20x digital zoom
Video Camera: Video capture: 352x288 (CIF) at up to 15 fps MPEG-4
Display: Large bright 2.4 inch QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) TFT color display with up to 262,144 colours
Music Player: Supports MP3/AAC/eAAC/eAAC+/WMA, FM radio
Media Player: RealPlayer, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, AAC, RealAudio, RealVideo, H.263, MPEG-4
Java Games: MIDP2.0
Connectivity: Bluetooth, Infrared, USB
Memory: Up to 42 MB internal dynamic memory, miniSD memory card
Messaging: SMS, MMS< Email
Internet: XHTML, HTML, EGPR
Talk Time: Up to 226 minutes
Standby: Up to 370 hours
Operating Frequency: WCDMA2100/EGSM850/900/1800/1900
Size: 110 x 49 x 19 mm

This is by far the worst phone i have used. The phone on starting gets stuck at the white screen and stays like that until we remove the battery and try restarting. Ok after restarting(if you are lucky enough) you might get past the white screen easily. Once past the white screen phone starts. Again the phone remains dead for another half an hour...wherein if u connect a charger also no signal is shown..plus the phone does not display the signal strength but your callers will hear the phone ringing on their side even though the phone remains dead on your side The N73 is the least reliable phone..vats the uses of great apps if the phone remains dead all the time I would never ever recommend this phone. I regret myself for having to pay such a huge price for this sh**** crap... Shame on Nokia...No wonder they are loosing their market share I on my side have decided never to go for a Nokia phone ever Now you might say try removing battery, sim card, mamory card..i have done all that..i dont use memory card...have updated firmware almost everytime...it has the latest firmware..plus i have not installed any third party apps also This is QUALITY of N73(it cant even work properly with built in apps)

I'm using this phone for a year and half. the only problem i faced is it is too slow to work along with lesser ram :( when you browse something on net and if you are using nokia default web browser it really sucks. sometimes the phone hangs automatically and restarts when you use some heavier applications. Besides this it's very excellent phone.Unbelievable 3.2mpx camera quality and can be enriched with heck of applications you need.

i've been a nokiaa addict all my life. right now, i have four nokia smartphones-3230, 6681,N73, & N97. i've had the N73 for about four years now, and its been great. I haven't had crash issues like most of the otherrs here did. Even in 2010, it's a good smartphone. It lacks features like 3G, touch, flash in web, motion sensors, and inbuilt GPS or 32GB memory like my N97, but it still takes great pictures and lets me browse the web and a lot of applications are available online for it, most of which are free. i love my N97, and i love my N73. its been my perfect partner for the last 4 years, and i havent taken it to the nokia care ever...it just works. symbian isn't as easy to uuse as a dumb sony phone or a flashy iphone. but once you know your way, its brilliant.

An average phone I must say, great music sound and good picture quality, however operating some of the applications mainly depends on the joystick which spoils very easily; the camera cover is very weak plus the camera frequently freezes; it is very slow when browsing; takes ages to switch on! Poor network pick up; bt otherwise an ok phone! Would give it a 4 out of 10

Pluses:camera(3.2 mpx),sound(quality and volume),screen(big and bright),Symbian S60(good games and software),memory(42 mb,minisd 2gb),joystick(very good in comparisson with Sony Ericsson). Minuses:very small keypad,the body of the phone scratches when you use it(poor materials),strats very slow.

I love phones and have had every phone out there just about. I've always loved Nokia because I knew that regardless of the phones not having the latest technology, they were going to out last the most expensive phones. I was just about to buy a blackberry because my last smart phone messed up, however I could get the N73 at a cheap price. So a few days ago I got it. So far, so good. It might be slow sometimes but like I said Nokia has always had quality phones so I'm looking forward to it. Although I can say that I havent had to read a phone manual in a long time and this time I did.

I'm still using two of these handsets and they both run virtually without problems. They occasionally lock up and have to be rebooted, which I suspect is caused by low internal memory. However you can get them for very little money (or nothing in my case, as my friend gave me mine when he upgraded). Unlock the phone if necessary, put a PAYG SIM card of your choice in, ideal for taking on holiday as the camera is quite cabable. I've added the Opera Mini web browser, which is a great improvement on the existing Nokia browser.

The good points of this phone are that its tough (been booted accross the room a few times for being annoying), the battery is reasonable, the memory is good and the video camera acceptable. The bad bits are; it is way too slow, very annoying as it freezes when you try to unlock it and even when you try to open a text, music isnt loud enough, the stupid blue flashing light is very annoying when its getting dark (so much so i gauged it out) and again its too slooowwww!!!

I had two of these phones and both of them died on me and both had to go back unfortunately. This was probably because I'm blind and use a program called talks which speaks the functions etc. I loved the N73 though and was sad when my phone company informed me they would be sending me an N95 because the N73 was being discontinued. somehow I found the shape of the phone quite satisfying and, it is also pretty small which was great for me. I had absolutely no complaints about it until it had to go back and I am determined to get my hands on one again one day.

Within a few months of owning this phone, it started to turn itself off for no reason at all. I then found out, through others who also have the N73, that this is a common problem. After just a year of owning it I am having to replace it. The toggle button has gone bonkers. I can't access contacts and when i try, it rings anyone it fancies. Even the shop i took it to was baffled at it's alter ego. It may look a nice phone, but reading the other reviews there are obviously some fundamental flaws.

Initially I had Nokia N73 mobile. It was sooo good. But as I lost that cell, I bought new Nokia 1202 mobile. Until then I am having very good opinion on NOKIA branded mobiles. But the Nokia 1202 mobile is so so so so WORST. It is very delicate and while talking at talking with others, the receivers cannot listen to our words properly. I then thought that I made big mistake by purchasing that mobile. Actually Nokia's precious models like: 1100, 1110 etc (which are base models) used to be VERY GOOD. But they stopped those good mobiles and launched new models like: 1200, 1202, 1209 etc, which are VERY WORST. I don't know why they made such a big mistake like this.

Phone looks great BUT try using that fiddly little joystick and you'll be ready to throw it out of the windowin no time at all. Mine lasted less than a week before I went back to my old and faithful Nokia N80 - maybe a little old fashioned now, but still as reliable and as easy to use as the day I bought it.If ti ain't broke - don't fix it. I was made to have this N73 by 3 who said I was due for an upgrade. When I told them I was quite happy with my N80 they still insisted I had to have a new one. It's still sitting in the drawer doing nothing.

Regretting for the past 2 years....For God's sake, please don't buy this phone... The most stupid phone I've ever seen.... Just after 2 days of buying this phone.. the complaints started... the phone would crash occasionally and gets stuck.. during taking a photograph the screen turns up a number of time with which we lose some precious moments of sudden photography.. Sometimes after the clicking the camera button.. no sound comes...I get fed up and put the phone in the pocket after closing it's shutter.. After sometimes, a sound comes from my pocket of a click.. the photograph is taken.. watz the use of camera to take dark images in pockets.. Another major problem is the calling option.. when calling some body the phone just blinks but doesn't call... I have to restart my phone a dozen times a day to make calls... You get angry when we have to restart phone to call in an emergence... You already know that this phone takes too much time to load up... Sometimes the volume button doesn't work.. this is also corrected by restarting a number of time... The only thing I appreciate about this phone is the sound quality and loudness. Just after one month of usage of this phone.. I sent a written list of 12 major complaints to the company I bought it from.. they reinstalled the software and it worked for one week.. then rest all same.. I even updated the phone last month.. nothing could help... If I had the money.. I would have thrown this mobile and bought Sony Ericsson... And one more truth.. When I bought this mobile, 99% of my college mates had this phone... Just after 4 months.. I rarely could find anyone own this mobile.. Now I and only a guy whose uncle gave this mobile for no money...

I own an n73.,which is worth buying in all ways. A symbian phone with such a high battery life is quite compromising. And with an excellent 3.2 mega pixel carl zeiss lens and outstanding sound quality it stands atop in the budget luxury list. The cuddling thing about this phone is its load time or actually the load time. But we can't expect more from a phone with this much features in such a price range to be working harder. And try loving your phones so shall it work properly.

I am on my 2nd N73, after i lost my last one, and I have seen the same flaws in both of them. Even though the one i have at the moment is the new improved model and my last one was the older version. The N73 seems to have a tendency to turn itself off, this has also been mentioned by friends who have to same phone. My N73 also sometimes over heats, It will sometimes get really hot and the battery will just drain, im not sure whether other people have encountered this problem but it seems to be occurring more often, the older the phone is getting. The phone also tends to freeze quite often. I love the phone but its not performing anywhere near as good as when I got it.

This phone is rubbish. The button in the middle falls out which leaves you unable to do anything at all. The camera (although very good and high spec) freezes and you often miss the shot while you are trying to get it to switch on. I has a very annoying flashing blue light that I think is the blue tooth - sometimes it flashes so much it is like it is trying to land a plane as it lights up the room. Very annoying if you are trying to sleep. I can't wait for my contract to end so I can ditch this phone - it has put me off Nokia it really has.

Thats the phone you cannot trust !!!!!!!!!! Unbeliveble software that is so much that makes your phone do what ever it wants! Swich on and off or your alarm suddenly stop working and you are late for work! If you want all that just buy Nokia N73!!!!

My first contract phone, I didn't do my research properly, and ended up stuck in a contract with an awful phone.. Yes the camera is great, but apart from that,there's not much positive to say! The memory is quite small,the keys break, and, which really annoys me, the phone seems to think it knows everything... It freezes at least a couple of times a day, and recently ive had to start charging it every day cause the battery keeps running out.. thank goodness my contract is over soon..one of the worst phones i have ever owned

Such a dodgy phone to have. I baught this �200 and it has been slow and the joystick fell out so i had to sell it for only �50 :( the keys felt weird. couldn't get a background to fit on the screen entirely, wayyyyy to loud plus point being the camera was decent.

Terrible. I have had this phone for over a year now and have had to get it sent away three times to get repaired. It still doesn't work but t-mobile refuse to replace it. It crashes, freezes and the reason I had to get it sent away is that my buttons stopped working. The joystick broke and now when I phone people is it extremely crackly (nothing to do with my signal). I usually go with samsung as they are smart and easy to use but decided to have a change. NEVER again. Sorry Nokia but you have decided to put to much onto a phone to quickly. Slowest and most frustrating phone I have owned.

I had endless amounts of problems with this phone.Carphone warehouse were appauling and no help at all, even though i had just taken out an 18 month contact with them.I had software problems which were never resolved,my first phone the speaker was broken,it wouldn't call out. it said memory was full when it was empty and it constantly switched itself off.So for the remaining 9 months of my contract i have been forced to use my old D900 which i have never had any problem's with... Quote for the man at carphone warehouse; 'This phone is too clever for itself therefore resulting in my problem' ohh thanks why didn't you tell me that when i was buying it!!!!!

Wonderful amazing cell phone. I have been using it for 11 months and it is only phone. I have been using for so long period.. I have used k800i n70 etc..but it is far better than any: many say it freezes but i think it do so when u open many programs or press keys quickly.. It is true camera responses very slow as compare with other but inch and video result is outstanding .battery time is very good..thoug i have intend to buy n95 but i will not leav it

Good as a camera - good as a smartphone - VERY POOR AS A PHONE - I have had 3 of these now and every one is POOR at holding on to calls and give POOR network coverage in rural areas like mine. DO NOT buy if you need a phone for business as you wont like it - good for people who want a phone as a good camera and music player but I WANT A GOOD PHONE so for me very poor.

i've had this phone for a few months and im on my second. the first kept freeezing and the camera wouldnt take a pic! this ones about as bad it vibrates when theres no message and when there is a message it doesnt vibrate. ive lost count of the number of people who cant tell what im saying on the phone, i sound like im under water. predictive text is shocking now is onx and they is thex?!?! also whats with the little blue light that flashes when the phone 'goes to sleep' it stops me going to sleep if i leave it near my bed its so bright! does have a few good points camera ok if you can get it to work and songs sound good always liked nokias and thought they were reliable but not this one am trading in for a samsung g600.

I'm sorry to say this phone has put me off Nokias altogether! Apart from being frustratingly slow, switching itself off for no reason, the words 'enhancement not supported' repeatedly flashing up on the screen and callers not being able to hear me during incoming calls, the phone is also very illogical. I have found that many of the features are not where you would expect them to be in the menu. Also, other features of the phone have been very poorly thought out! For example, it takes longer to 'mark' a message than it does to 'delete' it, which renders marking many messages and then 'deleting all marked' completely pointless! I'm switching to Sony Ericssons when my contract runs out!

IT`S A VERY TIDY PORTIABLE OFFICE, I`M VERY IMPRESSED!!! HOWEVER MY FIRST ORIGINAL N73 HAD BUGS, LIKE IT SWITCHED OFF AND ON BY IT SELF. IT WOULD BE SWITCHED ON AND IF YOU RANG IT THE NETWORK WOULD SAY IT WAS SWITCHED OFF!!! I TOOK IT TO BE CHECKED OVER MANY TIMES AND THEY FINALLY SENT ME A USED REPLACEMENT THAT HAD BEEN REPAIRED, AND THE REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN AMAZING OVER THE LAST 12 MTHS. ALSO A FRIEND OF MINE HAD A NOKIA N73, HE COMPLAINED ABOUT POOR COVERAGE AND COMPLAINED CONSTANTLY. HE FINALLY GOT AN UP GRADE TO ANOTHER PHONE AND SAID THE N73 WAS RUBBISH. IT`S LUCK OF THE BATCH I THINK, SO BEWARE!!!

Great Phone. I love it. Problem is I have dropped it once or twice. AND EACH TIME the whimsical plastic clip that holds in the memory card breaks. It is a tiny plastic clip and when it goes that is it. The operating system on the phone keeps telling me "It is un safe to remove the memory card" and that drains the battery. If the design was better or you did not need to rely on an extra memory card then o..k.

I am having N 73 ME. Overall perfomance is ok. Music is good. Camera is good but not as good as sony ericson. But their are a few problems. Phone switches off even under very light shock some times even without shock. Another problem is when connecting to pc it gets disconnected when sligthly moved.
