my review based on how this mobile was in 2007 when i bought it ,
7 years passed and i still have it and still working in needs . ( couple of days from year to year )
Thank you N73 , you were a good friend .
Maybe to specs today can compare to a lowest-end phone , but in 2006 , it was one of the higher-end phone , a disavantage is the fact that it has a short battery life after some time . It has a 3.2MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens
One good phones that have become
We have already feature-era hacks
And most important what sets it apart is the camera 3 megapixel
It is one of the most famous mobile company Nokia
thankz Nokia ^^
for every positive u can find a negative as well
camera is outstanding but lacks xenon flash & poor video recording
superb web browser but lacks wifi
excellent messaging but poor keypad
great looks poor built
over all experience with n73 has been an average one
over the 3 years I have used this set I have enjoyed all the positives of this set like the still camera & a fantastic music player,, but the problems with the set have tinted the experience a bit as well
I`ve had this phone for 1 year and a half it is awesome it literally can support heavy punishments, being a student I always send text sms & play music all the time it is great it never stalled also when receiving a phone call it just shuts off the player and no memory is lost. Drawbacks, design is getting old, send and received buttons have faded and copper colour is now appearing and oh yes the joystick is extremely delicate I had to replace it twice at the cost of 40 Euros each once it just stopped functioning and 2 they clashed with my Ipod speakers, sometimes the camera switch freaks out!
i've been using n73 in 4 years!. it's an awesome phone coz it has cool camera, video, pictures, text. but the problem is. it easily gets the MEMORY FULL!. in 4 years i've been reformating my N73 for 4 or 5 times already.gosh. and the internet?. nah!. nevermind. haha. and also. if you want ur battery to last long, don't put animated themes on dis phone coz only less dan a day, it'll be low batt. haha. but in 4 years, i've been enjoying using the fone. :)
A very reliable, feature pack and solid mobile device from Nokia. The N73 has been a total enjoyment to use for a good year so far. After seven Nokia phones(5165.8265.6200.6682.6230i.N70), this is by far one of the best Nokia devices I've used so hands down.
Very comfortable to use and feels very nice in hands whether you're left or right handed. The lens cover opens with ease, the joy stick doesn't take long to get use to, and the key pad is very comfortable to use. The stereo speakers are unbelievably clear and loud(blew an iPhone away in a sound off) and the music player has a variety of functions for total music enjoyment. An MP3 player wouldn't be necessary with this device in your possesion. The radio very nice with 20 presets, but it only works with headset attached with no FM transmitter on device. Games are fantastic to play especially with joystick and they don't slow the device down. I've handled taking pictures, internet open, radio playing and music player going with no hesitation at all with swithching between them. The N73 takes great pictures with 3.2MP camera/video player.
Battery life is great and even better with power saver set on. The flashing blue light may come on and screen goes black, but your battey will lasts a lot longer. I could go three days without charging at times. Signal strength rarely drops below half during usage and standby modes. Living in the Chicago area, I had no problems, campared to the N70, which gave me horrible signal strength due to it's european frequency modes. Plus your able to download other Symbian programs and games for your personal usage for free once you can find them on the internet.
The disappointments about the N73 aren't too great at all. The main one after a year of usage is SPEED! The one to two second delay in opening and swicthing programs gets annoying after awhile. Not a great asset to the overall phone function espiecially with the camera sometimes. Hot swap of the memory card is in a hard to access area at the bottom of the phone with fragile door. Best to use the data cable for easier access and to avoid the hassle of getting memory card. Phone memory could of been more(42MB). After loading games and extra programs you may run into memory issues. Try deleting videos, text messages and/or calender notes. A minor con, the accelerator feature only works with the internet and phone usage.OVERALL: After a year of N73 ownership, I've been nothing but pleased with this hands down, solid and great multi-media phone from Nokia. The following cons were evident over a period of time. I'm upgrading to the Nokia N82 in March '09 and heard nothing but great things about this phone and can't wait.
Music and Camera is the Best in in its Class.It has a very good battery life. and u get good applications very easily
The Best phone i ever felt...its enough strong and got all the junk needed in it....camera is awsome....!!!!
What can I say!!! I bought phone from ImportGSM.com in 2006 and it travelled with me halfway around the world. The pictures I took with it was astounding. People couldnt believe I had a 3mp phone, LOL!!! ( everyone else in my social and working environment was still stuck at 1mp/2mp)...
This thing is very rugged and very durable. Matter of Fact it still works today. Its with my wife now and she just recently upgraded to my old N95 8GB. But this thing took a beating man. My son loves the sound of the speakers and how loud it is and he would throw it around and bang it on things. I myself have dropped it countless of times. And it still works like it suppose too...
This is what sold me to NOKIA brand in the first place. If your in the market for best bang for your buck phone!!! this is it ... N73 cant go wrong with this great performer and mine is still working to this day ...
heres some samples of the pics I took with this phone...

i have n73i the music edition . it is not different from n73. only black colour ! i have it from april 2007 it works great but have low ram [when playing games etc.]
loud speaker is cool music is very very good.
itz best 3.2 mp camera mobile.photos,videos no.1
2.4 in screen with 16 millon colors!!!
it is best mobile after n95 in nokia!!!
i think the n73 has a very high quality camara witch is better than the k800 and i would say the same for the music player and sound quality.though k800 are good phones they get boring but the n73 has plenty of features.It can get slow at times if you put a high quality theme on it but everyone sticks to the normal simple ones.the annoying thing about the n73 is that theres no play/pause button.In my books if you want a reliable good phone go for the sony ericson k800 but if you want a phone with high features such as music player,3.2 meg camara,video record/player and lots of editing features go for n73.(not as reliable as K800i though)
I am using this phone for 1-1/2 month. It has a very good 3.2MP camera. All the features in this phone are useful but I experience some internal problem on it such as low internal memory. When I play games, the phone is getting struck. Once it got struck no single key is working, after restarting the phone, it's working normally.
It is the best 3.2 mp camera that nokia has produced.With revised firwares it is up and running smooth without a glitch. All those se fans suck with their k800 and so.The symbian interface and the flash are the desired apps in this phone.
i thought i was upgrading when i bought this terrible phone, i bought this phone when it was new in markets after 9 monthes the joystic fell of the phone , sound quality is very bad , after this i changed k800 my freind have one and the phone is the greatest phone ever is k800 which camera is better than the n 73
This is the worst phone nokia ever made. When you buy a brand new phone, its like an average phone but after a few months, the phone quality is worst.
I have been using a mobile phone for two years and since then I almost tried more than six different phones of which the N73 is the best . Actually I found in this PIECE OF ART all what I looked for in my old phones . I am a photographer and I can say that the N73 has a dual function , that you can use it as a phone and a digital camera .
GOOD JOB NOKIA .
This phone is simple one of best. Of course another nokia's phone like N80, N93, N95, etc... are the top in the market!!! Nokia is the best.
I was scearching 4 phone 4 the last 6 months....i was mainly looking at 3 things :display,music sound & camera.And i have to say that my dream came to my hands when i opted 4 N73 Music ....................................THE BEST IN ITS CLASS......!
This is a good phone ever introduced by Nokia. Thanks to Nokia, I found everything I need in a mobile device. But the momory card (SD Mini) is not supporting all the card readers.
i really wanna try this fone.some of my friends told me that this is so good..the resolution,the sounds and everything about this gadget..u will never regret to have this one
this phone is a masterpiece...it has everything except GPS and wifi..if anyone of you are having problems with the phone den try upgrading your software.
i have it and i love it..
A very good from nokia. Most of the features I want on a phone are available on this model. So far, since I bought the phone about 4 months ago, I havent encountered any problems so far. What I really do hate on the phone is the size of the keypad. For voice and video calls, the phone excels but for text messaging, one needs a lot of getting use to.
Finally Nokia come with something better.I bought the phone a month ago and it is change the country code so i coud upgrade with specific language. Very good fast and response better that my HTC Cingular 2125 windows mobile 5.0. You also could change the facial.Great choices of colors.
The NOKIA N73 has one small problem is bigger that my privous phones.
I hope Nokia will come with something better and smaller.
Hi All,
I bought N73 Musiuc edition before a week, and it looks like there is a problem with this phone. When i play the musci player via headset, the sound qulaity is not good enough, i mean the volume is not that much louder. Where as when i make a call to some one, and if i play the music plater when i am connected with a call, the sound of the music player is 40% louder. Have you guys ever checked this. Is this a peoblem of this phone??? Your advise to me is highly appreciated. Awaiting your response.
Thanks
MI
