Black N73 housing now on cnn.cn

I recently ordered the pure white housing off ebay just for the fun of it. I have yet to put it on but I also ordered a white OEM keypad off CNN and the differences are REALLY noticeable.

Left: OEM Keypad off CNN
Right: Keypad that came with white housing on ebay.



You can really notice a difference in quality. The white is definetly not as white in the OEM one and the keys aren't as sharp and lined up. The feel of the OEM one also doesn't have that cheap feeling of the non-oem one.
 
The one that is also the sliding camera cover? Frustrating.

Mine didn't come with the L Shaped memory card cover! Argh.

Sent them an email....we'll see if they come through.
 
Instead of starting a new thread I'll just ask here. As I see it there are NO hardware differences on the N73. So my question is the N73IE and the N73ME are both black, so what are the differences is it just the software/music key?
 
Yeah, and the pre-installed apps. I had the ME firmware on mine for a while, I personally thought it was MUCH slower and had less RAM, and you can't exit the music player unless you have Handy Taskman to kill it, and that's just annoying.
 
Well the keypad has a great feel too it so if its OEM or not its no biggy. Just from other Asian keypads for many of my other Nokias they always managed to center the zero before. Find it odd now that they cant on this one
 
it's not hard once you figure it out, and I could tell something was happening when I put the motherboard back in. no worries, that's half the fun of being first.
 
no the same one you were missing, that little L-shaped thing. I already sent them an email, hopefully it was accidental.

Maybe that's why they pulled it off their site...

Anyways, I'm not going to do the switch till I have all the pieces. Having a mocha memory card cover would be fugly. That and I'm not about to take this puppy apart more than I have to.
