Nokia N73 Phone - Pros & Cons
April 9, 2008 · Filed Under Cell Phones
Nokia N73 is available in 2 Colors, first one is silver and second one is black (The Music addition). The difference between these 2 sets is that the music edition comes up with a 2GB memory card providing you more space to add more and more songs. Some of he advantages and Disadvantages are mentioned below for Nokia N73. Do remember to view comments for user reviews on Nokia N73. 3.2MP (Mega Pixels) Camera: The Best features of the handset includes its 3.2Megapixels camera that results is excellent quality pictures. You might not see the original results until you transfer the pictures on computer or print it as Nokia LCD does not provide the original quality or enhance the brightness of phone before previewing pictures. Beware of the front view camera as its result is pathetic and images taken from this camera are blurry and of no use. The processing of the camera is faster then the old S60 Nokia phones however when more data is stored on phone its processing speed become slow and we always need to remove or delete some data to make it more faster. All other features available for calling, sending messages, MMS and opening web application however while sending MMS like other S60 phones the phone automatically compress picture size (MMS) while sending or receiving so no use of transferring these pictures to computer and no printout can be taken for the picture received on MMS. (Is old versions of Nokia like 6230 MMS was received in its full size i.e. 50kb to 100kb) e.g. a 90Kb picture send Via MMS will be converted to a 9or 7Kb picture that will not be bigger then a small icon. Infrared and blue tooth options are included however like all other Nokia phones during file transfer Nokia mobile set does not show the Total size of file, sending size or the percentage indicator. It shows just s bar that is getting filled and giving indication of file sending. You need to have enough space in your mobile phone to receive a file via blue tooth and Infrared. 42 MB Internal Memory is good as compare to other mobile sets however still without a memory card its impossible to take pictures and store songs as average picture size of Nokia N73 when captured on full resolution is 600-700Kb so always have extra memory card to meet the needs.

Hello Guys….. All features mentioned above are perfectly fine but from the past 6 months my new N73 Music edition (Bought 9 months Ago) has started giving me error of “Memory Too Low Delete some data” I have searched all over my mobile for data in phone memory but there was nothing in it. I have checked my Phone memory that was showing 44MB in use and only 87kb free memory.
I was unable to send sms, receive sms, edit sms, no contact entry could be saved or deleted. The error keep on blinking on my set’s screen.
I have searched everywhere for the solution and restored all factory settings after taking backup on PC, formated my memory card as well. After restoring factory settings it became fine but for 2 weeks only.
Afterwards it started showing same memory low error and was not even fixed after restoring the factory settings again. I have upgraded my nokia software from Nokia website as referred by some friend and Thank God the problem was fixed however for a month or so….
I was so sick and tired of this error that I have not done anything to fixed it and after 2 days my set started working fine… Now it happen that after few weeks this error starts showing up leaving me disturbed and disappear after few days without doing anything with it..
So People no doubt its the BEST NOKIA Phone i have ever used as I am Nokia User for many years but this error is experienced all over the world and does not have a permanent cure. So it it up to you…. if you want to live with it then go for it.
Hi - Another bad feature of the mobile is that its joystick is slippery and hard to get use to… Previous Nokia set’s button like N72, Nokia 6680 were easy to press than this joystick thingy.
One More thing is that the set got stuck sometimes while browsing pictures and is very slow when the gallery is opened. you need to restart your phone quite often as it use to stuck during heavy processing.
N73 Camera is excellent however the camera sound can not be switched of or silent. You only have the choice to select the picture taking sound but there is no option of “No sound” so you can not take pictures in silent environment and without letting other’s know.
further more.. You can not view the phone ring tones in gallery, can not share it, delete it or listen to it. You can only listen to it when changing the ring tone in profile or with a contact.
Video Quality of the phone is really impressive. It records the video in mp4 format and if low quality is selected in settings it results in 3gp format.
There is no option on phone while taking call to record it. You need to browse for the call recorder during call to press recording button to record sound. Moreover we can not record a sound clip more than 1minute.
you can’t mute/silent image capture tone however there is option to chose from 4 different tones.
Good battery life…. if used for calls or GPRS for the whole day then need to recharge on daily basis however if only songs are listened or pictures are taken you can charge it every other day and in stand by mode it can stays for many days.
Agree with Keny_08 as Its Joystick is quite slippery even the N72 or Nokia 6680 that are similar sets with 2 cameras have some portable buttons through which you can browse very easily and fast however still the over all processing of this set is better than many N series mobile sets.
It also got stuck sometimes and we need to restart it but once in a blue moon. you can say that if you use your mobile ALOT then once a week.
Sometimes the phone gets restart on its own but again this happen with many nokia sets and it also happens once in a blue moon.
There are positive and negative points in every products. We only need to decide with which negative points we can live with and ignore.
why is it that am not capable of downloading any thing at all on my phone,no themes, no video,no game so what in jesus’s surname is so special about nseries.nokia drools!!!!!!!!
What’s the issue with your Mobile Phone George? Whenever you try to download anything what error do you get? There are few errors in all sort of Mobile however there are solutions to that problems so do not worry.
