Windows n73

The application launcher, pencil, clear and multimedia applications launcher keys wrap around the keypad in the bright silver surround. All are easy to access and we're thankful the ever-important application launcher wasn't relegated to a side location as with the Nokia N Like most other phones but unlike most Nokias the N73 has a volume rocker for both speaker sound and in-call volume on the right side easy controlled by your right thumb when holding the phone in the right hand during a call , and this rocker does double-duty as the zoom control for the camera.

The IR window is all by itself on the phone's left side, and stereo speakers under a post-modern looking metal grille are located at the top and bottom edges of the phone.

The charger port the smaller style one found on recent Nokia phones and the Nokia is at the bottom as is the Pop-Port multifunction port used for USB syncing and headsets. Turn the phone on its side and it becomes a camera, and in fact looks like a point-and-shoot. Slide the rear lens cover to expose the lens and LED flash and the camera application opens automatically.

The slider stays firmly in place and lays against the phone's back in an interesting manner to accommodate the sloping lines of the phone. Slide the lens cover shut and the camera application exits automatically. There's a dedicated Gallery button beside the shutter button which allows you to quickly move through your photos in full-screen landscape mode.

Above the display you'll find the secondary VGA camera used for self-portraits and video conferencing in 3G service areas, the light sensor which automatically adjusts display brightness and the earpiece. As you'd expect, the battery lives under a door on the phone's back and the SIM card is under the battery.

The phone feels and looks very well made, perhaps a bit more so than the N80 which is indeed well made but looks and feels like the plastic it is. The N73 is mid-to-large sized by feature phone standards and small by smartphone standards. The Nokia N73 has top notch reception, and is among the strongest RF phones. Both incoming and outgoing voice are clear with no distortion, static or other unpleasant audio artifacts. Call recipients commented on how good we sounded, and incoming volume through the earpiece is good, though not deafening.

Clarity and volume are excellent through the included Pop-Port stereo headset and is a perfect match for loud places as is the speakerphone. Show Ignored Content. Replies: 0 Views: Replies: 4 Views: ZaZ Jan 6, Replies: 11 Views: Tech Junky Jan 5, Replies: 5 Views: Share This Page Tweet.

Your name or email address: Do you already have an account? No, create an account now. You can put the display down into landscape mode and use if for all applications and functions now, where on the N90 you could only use the camera in landscape mode. The camera buttons are easily manipulated with your thumb, as long as you are right-handed and a couple of buttons on the display are used in landscape mode.

Nokia N93 specs : The Nokia N93 is a clamshell smartphone with a flip and twist display for taking video and still photos or turning the device into a small portable computer. Video is really the primary focus of this machine and it performs this function well with 30 fps video at x resolution. I actually found still photos taken with the N90's 2 megapixel camera to be a bit better quality.

There is a 1. The 2. An Cingular customers may not be happy with the connectivity of the N93 since their primary U.

There is a large plastic cover over the slot that actually works well and is connected to the device. Like many of the Nseries and other Nokia devices, including the N73, you can listen to music stored on a storage card or use the integrated FM radio. These are not business focused devices so the full editing capability software found on the Eseries is not included.

There is also a Barcode scanner application that allows you to capture an image of a barcode and gather data from it. All the other standards S60 3rd Edition applications are included along with LifeBlog and the Flickr upload capability in the Gallery. Nokia N93 experiences : I tried to use the N93 exclusively for a couple of weeks, but I just couldn't hear my callers as well as I needed to when holding the device up to my head.

I suppose the N93 with the large form factor is designed to be used with a Bluetooth headset, but many times I don't have my headset with me and just want to make and receive calls.

I do take the N93 with me to all my daughters' sporting events and it has captured some very good video. I even used it to capture Granny making a Norwegian specialty, Lufsa, so we can archive the process for future generations to make this potato based staple.

Speaking of the TV-out functionality, you could actually use the N93 as a mobile computer when traveling with the video output connected to a large display or TV and a Bluetooth keyboard connected for email, surfing and text editing with a 3rd party application. I may actually try to experiment with taking and using the N93 as a mobile computer in one of my upcoming business trips. I don't mind so much that the N93 is large as I tend to carry a pack with me most places anyways, but the camera barrel and trying to find the "sweet spot" bug the heck out of me.

The N93 does work well as a mobile video player when put into the landscape view mode, especially when on a crowded airplane and I have used the Neuros Recorder 2 to get video from my TV onto a storage card for this functionality. Nokia N73 and N93 conclusions : The N73 is a wonderful smartphone that works as a high quality phone, very good quality camera, decent quality video recorder, and good data device.

The only issue I have can think of in regards to the N73 is the rather flat, small keys on the keypad. Other than this small issue, I haven't found anything not to like about the device. The N73 isn't currently available to purchase at Nokia Flagship stores or online directly in the U. It is shown as coming to the US site though, but the price hasn't yet been revealed. I was really looking forward to the N93 after using the N90 to take some great photos on a family vacation since the N93 added a high megapixel camera, S60 3rd Edition, and a vibrating ringer.

The N93 does an excellent job with capturing video and it looks like video may become more and more popular in so the device may be something on-the-go videophiles might want to check out. I don't think it works that well as a phone though since the camera barrel rests strangely against your face and it is tough to find the "sweet spot" on the headset to hear your caller.

It is very well constructed, feels great in your hand, has a great keypad with large numbers, has a brilliant display and wonderful S60 3rd Edition software, has integrated WiFi and Bluetooth and the TV-out functionality. However, it is a bit large and not really pocketable, doesn't take that great of still photos, and is quite expensive for a camera phone.

I plan to try using it more as a mobile PC and that may actually make it a more valuable device to me.
