Buying N73 ME.

[utsav]

At the most i will be multitasking by running music in background while surfing the net so that much ram will suffice . i have to go to exam hall after an hour and i am foruming here

What price should i expect it to be? my frnd told me its 12.5 k but today in the newspaper its written 13.9k .

 

[power_8383]

Yes, u'll get that around Rs.14000\-

Its a great phone bro.
I'm having that.

The latest firmware is v4.0736.3.2.1

Dont forget to post your cam pics in the topic. *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47207

^^ The phone does have 64 MB , that 22 MB is actually kept just for the OS to access , but even then the OS keeps accessing from the rest 44 MB mem. .. back at nokia forums , they said that by the next few firmwares , the full 64 MB will be made free ..

And btw , i'm using v4.0750.31.2.1 .. donoo why they pulled this off the net , coz this is the fastest firmware i've used on the N73 .. and the one that actually has some demand paging into it ..

Some features u can expect in the later firmwares : better Demand Paging , More free Mem. , around ~ 30 MB at start .. faster loading of Gallery .. better Music Player . Intergrated Nokia Maps , Updated Flash Lite (version not specified yet , but could be v3.0) , Update QuickOffice and Adobe PDF reader ...

Being included in the NGage 2.0 platform got this phone some attention from the Nokia developers group ...

Good choice Utsav.
What about N95?U ditched it?

The phone has around 20 MB free ram & with time it goes on decreasing.
I suggest you reboot it once in a day, to get good fast performance.

I was going to update to 4.0750 version, when I read that most of the phones crashed during the update process. And soon after that they removed that firmware. Now i am waiting for the next stable release. Still happy with the old 4.0727.

 

[deathvirus_me]

.. i took that risk coz the additions seemed tempting ... and don't regret it a bit ... rather .. am loving it ..

 

[Lucky_star]

^^ Really? How much free ram are you having after startup? and what is the camera startup time in this 4.0750 version?

@utsav : Great man!!!Congrats for the new phone... in advance

I'm also buying the same by this weekend,it's priced @ 13.5K here in bangalore.I donno about nokia priority dealers,heard there is a price diference..Not sure though..
Also frns(N73ME owners specially),they are bundling HS-23 headset with it which i think lacks a 3.5mm jack.Is it so???If yes then what are the alternatives??

P.S Sorry for hijacking your thread utsav...Really i'm..

^^ Really? How much free ram are you having after startup? and what is the camera startup time in this 4.0750 version?

Well , didn't exactly count the startup time .. but its definitely faster than previous firmwares particularly with font router ..

And about free mem. .. well . at startup its around 20-21 MB ... but the best part it the demand paging which actually free unused mem. .. Suppose u use gallery for some time , and close it .. after some time , when u again start using the phone , u'll notice that some mem. is actually emptied .. Meaning ..

Standby - 18 MB
Gallery Running - 14.4 MB
Gallery Closed , Standby - 14.4 MB
Music Player launched after some time - ~16.8 MB ...

The best part is that if u launch gallery after this , its actually loads up faster than the first time , meaning most necessary files were still cached .. now i can actually run the phone over days at a stretch without worrying about the mem. getting chocked up ...

Just now returned from exam hall . yippeee. . @cool g5. i ditched n95 8gb becoz gps and 5 mp cam is not worth the increased price tag . gps will be useless in my city and my dad told that he will be getting a 10mp dslr very soon

 

[utsav]

Damn. nokia priority closed i have to wait till tommorow

 

[Lucky_star]

Why are u buying from priority dealer by giving extra money? Buy from any local dealer and you will get a good discounted price.

@deathvirus_me, that was a great info. Now I need this version badly. I am going to download those update files. Do the 4.0736 version support demand paging? Because its still available for download.

 

[krazzy]

I'm not sure about the availability demand paging. AFAIK its just a rumour and there is no official info from Nokia about the availability of this feature in the latest firmware. Also I doubt it can be implemented in pre-FP1 devices.

Also utsav don't buy from Nokia Priority dealers. They're much more expensive. You'll easily save around 1-2k if you buy from a regular shop. As long as you get a bill, it doesn't matter from where you buy it. Priority dealer won't give you any special treatment for the extra premium they charge you.

 

[mayanksharma]

^^True!
The regular ones in Noida are selling N73ME for just 12K bucks along with the common softwares CD! I dont know, why the softwares? Unnecessary, but a good strategy though! And btw, Congrats for ur new mobile.

 

[Cool G5]

@Utsav - I was telling you the same thing to get a seperate digital camera.So it's good for you 10 MP SLR+ N73 ME.

Enjoy buddy.

 

[utsav]

Local dealers r asking 13.5k in my city jhansi and my dad wants to confirm from priority dealer also so i l wait till tommorow
