The good the bad and the downright ugly of the Nokia N73

I bought my Nokia N73 in April 2007 and have been using it since.

My primary reason for choosing it was the 3.2 mega pixel camera and the multimedia features and of course the Micro SD expansion capability.

Whats in the box?

In the box along with the phone was:

  • USB cable
  • 128MB Micro SD card
  • Hands free cable (stereo headphones)
  • Software on CD
  • Cloth Lens Cleaner
  • Manuals
  • Charger
  • Adapter for using the older Nokia chargers

First impressions

First thing to do was to install the software on to my PC and auto update it online before connecting the handset. This was a pretty simple step. Once the handset was charged up and connected then the wizards that are provided are pretty good at helping you configure the phone the way you want right down to downloading and updating the firmware on the phone itself. Also provided is a backup utility which is an especially handy utility to have.

Integration with my XP desktop was pretty good. Once the phone is connected you can use your PC to send and view text messages and multimedia messages. It integrates with Windows explorer too so it is easy to browse through the contents of the phone.

The camera

As one of the main attractions the camera itself overall is better than you would expect from a camera phone but it still does not match what you would expect from a conventional digital camera. The lens is Carl Zeiss and there is an LED flash. Picture quality out doors is pretty good but there does seem to be a blue tinge on some pictures.
