This is a review of my Black Nokia N73ME, as posted on Phone Scoop!

After months and months with Windows Mobile Devices, I switched back to a Symbian platform,and I am very happy I did. The stability of Symbian is a refreshing change from freeze-ups and reboots, and hard resets. Acknowledging that there is NO perfect OS available, I would rate the Symbian OS one of the best on the market. I purchased mine (N73-ME-Black) from Phonesource.com, and I am extremely pleased.

PROS:

Great RF, Nokia, "You think"
Beautiful and very large screen-QVGA-very bright and crystal clear
The handset is light and easy to grip, and feels very solid
Battery is typical Nokia, it "loves you long time"
The keys are a very firm and have a nice click to them when pressed
Nice joystick, easy to use and very responsive
Internet is super fast, although not 3G, you really do not notice
Bluetooth is good, no issues so far
Camera (3.2MP) is the best feature, almost too good to believe on a phone. I have heard many people say that is not important, and that is fine. Use this camera and then tell me that!!!!! It is just as good as my 5MP Canon Camera.
Music Player is 2nd best feature, with stereo speakers on the top and bottom, the sound is as good as any ipod I have seen.

CONS:

No 3G, I love 3G
No WiFi, not a problem
Nokia Pop Port-wow-the evilness of proprietary hardware

This is another great Nokia product, and for people that are looking for a business phone first, with good PIM exchange and fast e-mail, this is much better then a full blown Pocket PC!
 
Great review! I to went from Windows Mobile back to S60 (N73) and found the change quite refreshing. Oh and I forgot to mention.. I used to own an E70 a while back and im glad that I dont have to open the battery cover just to take out my memory card now

Why did u write no 3G? N73 is a 3G smartphone! Nice review otherwise!
 
The 3G is only for Europe, it would have to be WCDMA 850 to be available in the USA. I was dissapointed, however, the phone is still worth it!!!
 
You have a great point!! The digital is a Canon, very small and not one of your top of the line cameras, however, the Nokia is still viewed as a cellphone first. Taking pictures from the Nokia is quite convienent if you are just out there and something is interesting enough to shoot, without having to tote around a camera. I do acknowledge your statement though. If broken down by photographers, the Canon, I am sure would win!! Great point by you Vette!
 
You just have to set it everyday. No recurring alarms. You would think Symbian/Nokia would have added this feature already, that along with threaded messaging would make N-Series a beast!
