I have wondered about this as well. When I first decided to upgrade to v3 I did a lot of research and decided that the N73 was the best 'bang for the buck'. Despite its lack of wifi, it's still one of the best out there (in my opinion). I still am thrilled daily by it's myriad of uses, one of which happens to be its outstanding auto-focus, Carl Zeiss camera. This was the deal sealer when I was torn between it and the N80. Six months later I'm still quite satisfied and continue to enjoy this compact and well designed device. I won't sell mine, but then I'm sort of a packrat and have trouble letting go of anything. I still have the first Star-Tac ... not to mention all of my other phones (although I did sell the SLVR)
