CNET Asia Review

Very good

The good: The Nokia N73 boasts a 3.2-megapixel camera with video-recording capabilities, an integrated music player, a vibrant screen, Bluetooth, and a speakerphone. The phone also had extra-long talktime, battery life, and decent call quality.

The bad: The Nokia N73's keypad is a bit cramped. Also, it lacks Wi-Fi and runs slowly when switching between apps or performing multimedia functions.

The bottom line: The Nokia N73 offers a high-quality camera phone plus some nice extras in a stylish package, but its sluggish performance keeps us from giving it higher praises.

Superb, for Nokia!

Apr 1, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Large Screen, Good Lens Cover, Stereo Speakers, Symbian OS
Cons: Slow (as other s60 phones), Small Keypad (I'm really having trouble as my fingers are large), Camera's Horrible Color Processing.
Opinion:
I got N73 ME (Music Edition) after Using Sony Ericsson W810 for sometime. I liked the OS Capabilities, Since 6680, the whole thing got better and better, but still Camera/Sound quality is far below as compared to Sony Ericsson's Standard. Camera has a problem of making over-exposed photos just after being taken (But it is better then N93 and N80). Although, they look good on a Phone's screen, but you can't say it a 3 - MegaPixels camera result after seeing them on PC's screen (and hey, whats that CARL-ZEISS for? Quality is still bad). Sound is loud, but SURPRISINGLY equals to my previous W810-While with custom Acoustic drivers. Thats mean I've only paid 150$ more for Symbian OS.

Maybe as a Nokia user, this product may be the best, but Sony Ericsson has better choices in this price-tag!

 

Not recommended buy

Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: good picture & video quality, good sound quality
Cons: hangs easily, lags often when sms-ing, cannot take pictures too quickly as it hangs the phone
Opinion:
The phone hangs if you take pictures too quickly, when you sms it lags, and within 2 weeks of purchasing the phone, the jog button fell off, and I had to wait for almost a month to get it replaced! Many of my other N73 user friends had been complaining about these issues also.
