I purchased Nokia N73 Music edition. I regret doing this and I’ll bargain returning it to the dealer, since it has too many problems, most of all:
1. It switches off sometimes as much as 10 times a day and requires 2 whole minutes to function again.
2. It can only record 1 single minute (one) that’s right, and that is independent of the size of memory card. You can purchase an unlocking software for extra $39, but what the hell Nokia thought. To rape the buyers!!!
3. It is quite slow in functioning. Since it’s among the first to use a software OS, it is slower than windows on slow computers. You wait and wait and wait when you switch between applications. Very annoying.
4. The PC Suit Synch function is very novice and primitive and doesn’t answer today’s requirements. For example, if you have any Business 2 phone, some special titles infos inside your Phone address book, it doesn’t transfer them as they are, but renames them into other and you’ll need to manually update them. Usually without being able to change the other title in Outlook. In my case, I have over 1500 contacts, you can imagine that I need over a day just to update the information of almost the most modern Nokia Phone. What is going on Nokia?
5. It is impossible to turn off the light sensor that blinks at night continuously. I couldn’t sleep with it blinking, so I turn the phone upside-down to prevent this sirene light from disturbing me. What happened to human friendly phone designers of Nokia for God’s sake?
6. The bluetooth connection shows certain incompatibilities with certain devices, such as with my IBM laptop.
7. Although the stereo hands-free loudspeakers are nice, but when driving a noisy car, they are nearly useless. Not loud enough!
8. I had a Nokia 7650 before buying this device. I could call from anywhere in my office without worrying about connection quality. With N73, I’m restricted to a certain area, where I can have a little reception, enough to make low-quality calls. This phone doesn’t have good reception, not as half as of other versions. Those among you living in bad reception areas; DO NOT BUY THIS Phone!!!
I admire the long life of its battery as the only real advantage I can think of.
Still, I will return the phone and look for a better one. Surely not the N95, since it has too short battery-life.
