The joystick feels good, not too stiff but not flimsy by any means. it does get a bit slippery after you've used it alot but nothing serious. the keypad is pretty small though, if you have thick fingertips you're toast.
I think I would get it now at 667... with the free shipping.
Last week I was at pacific mall and they were still selling the regular N73 for $550-600 Canadian
