One of the most iconic and best-loved Nseries, the Nokia N73 remains a serious smartphone player touting the S60 3rd Edition flexibility you need to download cutting-edge applications from the Nokia Beta Labs and Ovi Store, alongside a powerful camera, media player and communication links. The Nokia N73 is truly geared up for globe-trotting with its two-week standby time taking you through the longest journeys, backed up by solide dual WCDMA/quad band GSM coverage, together with EDGE data support. The 3.2-megapixel camera has a mechanical shutter, sliding lens cover and close-up macro mode, and can capture video clips, too. Music is a passion of the N73, from the FM and Visual radios to support for a wide range of digital music formats, including OMA DRM 2.0 files. You can listen using the supplied stereo headset or enjoy tunes through built-in stereo speakers, with a 3D effect. The bright 2.4-inch display is large enough to edit photos and video clips – or watch them played back with a Ken Burns-effect slideshow.
