^^Stick to N73 then.Both phones have below average cams.N81 is inclined towards music(awesome sq) and gaming(gaming keys).

actually you dont have anything to look for as its a pretty dated phone (its been there since 2006) so the firmware will be latest only ;)

The only problem with n73 is that it does not have a standard 3.5mm jack so you have to carry its adapter with you always , also look at the manafacturig date on the box since new ones come with the firmware update so you wont have to deal with trouble to update its firmware online .

look for firmware version 4.0808.4.2.2 or higher .

I think its 4.0808.4.2.2 but not sure :confused: . it was released around november 07 dont know if any new one is released later.


Also there is no way to check the firmware version on the phone before buying it . Just see the manafacturing date and try to get a new piece .

N73 is a rocking phone ..

Also , Firmware v4.0808.4.2.2 has been pulled off by Nokia :p ... newer N73's are already shipping with v4 firmwares so wait for the newer firmware to come out ...

Also , N73 ME coupled with EP630 is as good as N81 if not better .. its down to the music player at last ... Also , N73 is also under NGage2.0 platform , so that won't be a issue .. and u get an awesome 3.2MP cam :D ..

Ya. i know n73 is under ngage platform .i saw it last week on the nseries portal. the latest firmware is 4.07xxxx i suppose.

Another thing is that i am not going to wait anymore. i waited for it since september 2007 as i didnt wanted to spoil my board exams which will end today :D

N73 is good phone in this range.
Its current firmware is 4.0736xx. The 4.08 version was pulled back soon after it was released as it was buggy.

And regarding RAM. GSM arena says it has 64 MB RAM. But actually it has 44 MB. From this, 22 MB is allocated to the system and you will have 22 MB free memory after a fresh restart. But after installing a few apps and using the phone for a month or so, the free memory will stay around 15-17 MB depending on what all apps you are running on the background.

I have tried ngage 2.0 first access games in it and its pretty fast.

I have around 40 applications installed(testing new ones everyday) and still the phone isn't slow.
