New phone

[llwyd]

Yep. Just picked up an n73 and am posting off it now

Edit: im actually posting from sat infront of my PC (typing now) i just wanted to test it out. will post some pics up in a bit, overall the phone is pretty killer. the OS is java based i think so a little sketchy when it comes to memory usage but i will be getting a memory card soon and get some serious extras on the go

I was going to get a n73, but ended up getting a k800i as loads of people told me their n73's were crashing etc

 

[llwyd]

yea i heard that too but nothing has gone wrong so far. its not a very user friendly phone

I really liked the look of the n73 and the software, as I had a 6600 for ages. I have loads of symbian stuff for series60 incl N-Gage games

But I've found quite a few for the k800i now I really wanted a phone with a good camera and a good mp3 player. So far the k800i seems ok, altho the memory is really pricey and limited to 1gb £28

what type of memory card does it take? im looking at a 1GB miniSD for mine on ebuyer now for like £11

I got my N73 on day of release, best one Nokia have done for a long time. And yes they do tend to crash a few times (especially the early ones), all the latest Symbian phones have that problem. Basically you've got a full blown multimedia computer in the palm of your hand. I took mine for a firmware update 'cos it was crashing like 2-3 times a day, half way through the update it died, so they had to RTM it. Since I got it back from Nokia it hardly ever crashes now.

Check the Nokia website for updates. There's a program for download called Nokia Software Updater that updates the firmware over the USB cable connection, there's also a patch called SMS Accelerator that fixes a crash bug when sending SMSs, that's an sis file that installs over the cable via PCSuite.

Nice phone Llwyd :yumyum: Quite a few of my students have them, and can't speak highly enough. If you're that way inclined, you can also run Tomtom sat nav off it...Symbian OS version of course.

I love the phone. Some really nice themes about for it. I'm using one called Vista Blue Stripe at the mo.
