Finally I got an N73

Finally after nearly a year the Nokia N73 came out, i got one. I say its a very compact phone, 3.2 megapixel phone with carl zeiss optics, i bought this phone mainly because its an N series series quadband candybar phone. So far its the only reigning in its class, and its been performing very well so far. heres my quick

Pros
-Quadband, Compact candybar size
-Edge
-3.2 MP camera
-Light sensor
-Great Build
-Symbian OS
-Easy learning curve in navigating throughout the UI
-Nice battery life
-FM Radio, is a must for my phones :D
-large screen

Cons
-Cramped Keypad
-UI is slow, typical of a symbian phone
-joystick can be annoying to some people
-image processing can take a while, and the camera has that famous blue haze

For Specs, Check out gsmarena

Overall impression: The phone is very compact and stylish, even the camera back is very nice placed.

Calling: The phone is a quadband so far its been performing very well in making calls, i cant test the video calling since i dont have a 3G network in my area. Buttons are cramped

Camera: camera is ok, enough for photoblogging, but not enough to replace your current digital camera, VHS recording is ok, image processing is a little slow. Camera UI is very easy though also slow at the same time

Battery Life: though i cant really tell as for now, though its on par with the k800 with approx 3-4 days normal use.

UI: UI is veryy slow, but the learning curve is the same, and not that hard to learn

Screen: sports a 2.4 inch screen very nice for viewing, its a 262k color qvga screen, and much bigger than a k790a

The Verdict: I highly recommend the N73 only if u have patience for the UI, but the phone does not dissapoint as a symbian phone, and takes pretty good pics for photos online, though not easy to learn, and you need a lot of patience for it, unless your a nokia dude, you can easily navigate through the UI, the phone is very compact and gets a lot out of your bucks, can be a little expensive, but a nice alternative to tehe k800
