Strengths: Camera, phone and mobile entertainment…all together is a fairly good quality phone

Weaknesses: No Wi-fi but then it is unlikely that you would miss it much

Ummm. Interesting. These are the likely responses which you would emit when you take a look at the Nokia N73 mobile phone which can even confuse you for a moment. Why? A second look will reveal that the instrument in your hand is actually a very good camera and the fact that it has an equally smart phone, is not coincidental. The GSM features of the quad band phone is a boon for the traveling business person and that is the sector which finds the phone most interesting and worth buying.

Apart from the phone and the camera, there are some excellent connectivity tools which are in-built in the phone. You can even sync the phone with your PC and share your directory for ease of use. The large sized screen which is so essential in a smart phone is very much part of the phone design and though you might feel that the keypad is slightly cramped, you can see that the space is well utilized in the phone.

Coming back to the phone features of the N73…there is nothing which you can genuinely complain about. The phone features demonstrate high quality reception and the voice quality is good even in rugged terrain. Data access is also acceptable in the phone and this truly makes the phone a smart buy. Basically, the N73 manages to raise the bar when it comes to smart phones as it is well balanced with good quality output where all the features are concerned. However, since expectations run high with this phone, some users might find it disappointing to note that the phone does not have any wi-fi features but then considering the features it already has, the N73 is a fab phone to be seen with!
