Wow! already 21 pages for N73? Nice! Good to know there's a few early adopters here besides me. Just got mine two weekends ago.

With regards to the audio quality, it loses out to K750i. Even my K700i sounds overall clearer + richer. N73 tends to have slight noise and distortion when u crank the volume up but it's acceptable and within my tolerance. Just that i'm too used to SE's audio quality.

Besides that, everything else is awesome! Menu navigation is fast/smooth as compared to the former S60v2 or older Symbian OSes. I love shooting. Pic shots are good. (probably can even beat Canon's 350D after rescaled to 4R...pun intended...hahaha) I love the back lens slider. It feels solid whenever u open/close it. Oooh...the rubbery feel

I find the keypad a little too small and crampy for my liking but typing SMS on it is smoother compared to K700i.

Another wonderful thing is the battery. It can last me 3 full days without recharging + 3G activated! (average 15~20 calls/sms per day, few video&pic shots, light 3G surfing and a couple of apps/games. The 1100 mAh batt supposedly the same used for Nokia Communicator series. No wonder the batt performance is superb! Heard this from the guy who sold me this baby. For me, phone is 'nothing' without a good batt. Btw, N80 sux at this.

Actually I was also in dilemma earlier deciding between this phone and N80/K800i. Well, luckily i made the right choice. Anyway, it's up to what you want in a phone. Guess this serves my purpose. A 'smart-phone' for a 'smart-buyer'

Yup. Observe whether there's Nokia hologram stickers on the phone & batt. Check it out from Nokia's site: http://www.nokia-asia.com/nokia/0,8764,78427,00.html

Yup. Mine has it too. Ori set from Avaxx. Is it supposed to be good or bad?
