**NOKIA N73**

Without going into its awesome specs and its look up, let me tell you my experience with this cell phone.

I had this mobile till 6 months before for 2and half years before switching on to N96.
I had a very good time with this cell phone made by the largest cell maker of the world--Nokia. Its a very reliable phone to use.
Its 3.2 Mp camera, with Carl Ziess optical lens, is very good. It gives very clear, excellent picture quality. It gives good quality pictures in very mode which are by default in this phone. The phone features a flash, which is very bright, though pictures taken with the flash or in low light conditions tend to be much lower quality than those taken in daylight. The gallery for browsing through pictures you've taken is easy to use, and with its slideshow, zoom functions and transition, also pretty cool! All the buttons are easy to use, smooth while working. While clicking pictures, it used to make noise. There is no feature to click the pictures without making any noise.
Web browsing is very awesome in this phone. You can view real web pages, which are reformatted to fit on the screen with the phone's inbuilt browser. This usually works quite well, though sites with high media content can be slow and/or fail to work properly on the browser. Otherwise, it has good web browsing features. I used to surf internet thorugh mobile only and i had no problem in surfing on net.
The only problem which came was in its Joy stick. Whule surfing net through mobile, the work of joy-stick is too much and its joy-stick stopped wotking after one and half year totally. I had to repair it and had to install new joy-stick part.
Battery life is very good. With light call usage, it can go a few days between charges. With net and music usage with the help of ear phones, it can go for as long as 6 hours which is good enough in my opinion. It also charges up very quickly (around 30 minutes).
Texting is very easy using this phone. The text buttons are very smooth to use. You doesnt need to press much to write a text. You can store as many as 1000 messages at one time. But also the mobile's processing will get slower.
The screen is very good. It has very good brightness.
The sound quality of the phone is very good. It has high sound quality. You can store as many as 500 songs in the phone as 2Gb memory card is provided with the phone while buying.
The phone is attractive, light and slim enough to easily fit in your pocket. It feels good to hold. The only disadvantage is you can't put the mibile in pocket without locking the key pad. Otherwise, the keys will get click on getting some pressure from outside.

Phone's look up is very good. It has high quality built. The paint work on thw mobile is good. The paint work on my mobile didn't worn out even after two and half years. It wasin very nice position. Only there were some scratches on the screen of the phone.
The working of the mobile is very good. All the buttons for its working are given at very god places like photo capturing buttons, volume managing buttons while listening to music, etc. It is very much virus resistant. There is very less scope that any type of virus will enter in phone memory.
The disadvantage of the phone was the dirt gets collected in the region around the joy stick and in between the keys on the key pad. The phone needs to be locked manually. It is not the case of self- locking as in case of other Nokia built mobiles or any other brands.
Overall, i will say i had a very good experience with the phone. It is very good to use, very reliable. It has good value for money. Its look up is very good.

Summary: If you get a chance to buy this hand set, buy it.
