Nokia N73

Surprised to hear about NO memory with your 73 - Mine came with a 128mb mini SD card complete with adaptor to fit full size SD slots.

Maybe different markets? as got mine in Singapore, but would have thought it would have been the same all over.

While it might sound mean by nokia to not include any memory card, i think its actually quite clever in a way.

Unless they decided to include a 1gb card as standard, the first thing that 90% of people always do is order a similarly sized card from ebay, and shove the dinky one back in the box unused.

Thats exactly what i, and almost everyone else at work has done. Personally, ive got four almost useless cards (from 32mb to 128mb) sat in my drawer.

Yeah noticed that too, N80 is 3MP and N73 is 3.2 + a few more bells and whistles

Yeah managed to get PUK code, still wondering what the default pin was...

I mean the bloke in the review you posted states the screen resolution on the N73 is the same as the N80, it isn't. The N80 is quite a lot higher.

if you look at the resolution of the pictures, you'll find that 3mp and 3.2mp are the same - its just how they market it.

Pretty sure the default PIN on o2 is 5555.

[*]Not sure if its new to N73 or been around a while, but pressing the joy stick (which is class btw) either left,right, up or down opens certain tasks instantly. Handy feature (gallery,web,new message and calendar)
[*]More to come...
[/list]

My w810i and K800i has that feature via their joystick/d-pad so its been around for awhile and is definitely a nice feature i find.

Also like the n73 the k800i doesnt come with any mem card, which kinda sucks as there isnt much stock around....

Something that is bugging me, a blue light keeps flashing at random times. Why? :mad:

g0hix · 11 Aug 2006 at 10:43

It's a battery saving mode and just lets you know the phone is active

rather than starting a new thread I thought I would ask in here

Anyone figured out a way to auto lock the keypad (not the phone lock that requires a key code) after a timed interval?

its a pain remembering to activate the lock every time.

Thanks in advance

Not sure if it's the same on the N73 but there should be an option in the security settings for an autolock period

*edit* .. don't think that's what you're after but I dont think there is anyway to lock the keypad after a certain time limit

Yeah I found that one but it only allows you to activate a lock that requires a code. I had a feature on my old SE phone that allowed me to set it so the phone locked after 1 min and just needed me to press 'unlock' to unlock it. Was really handy and avoided the instances where you forget to lock the phone and end up calling people when the buttons press in your pockets by accident.

Ho hum....

You could always download and install this freeware application like i did

Direct download link

Edit: you may also want to try "Spoton" a freeware application that allows you to turn the flash on permanently whenever you want to use it as a torch

spoton is exactly what i've been looking for to use with my N80 - cheers mate !!!!! :cool:

Youstolemyname · 31 Aug 2006 at 20:26

many thanks! That app is exactly what i wanted.

Only other gripe i have at the moment is that the screen and keypad do not light up when i touch it to unlock it. Bit of a pain in the dark.

djcj · 31 Aug 2006 at 21:13

If you press the power button on the top of the phone it lights up the screen whilst it is locked

Youstolemyname · 31 Aug 2006 at 21:19

terrific

Thanks for all the help everyone has been giving. I am really liking this phone.

Just one more question, does TomTom 6 work on it? I know 5 has issues but Route 66 works fine...

Thanks again

FlyingFish · 31 Aug 2006 at 22:59

Its been reported but not confirmed that tt6 will work on s60 ver3. TT6 isnt out yet but should be with us very soon, its marked for Sept06 release.

Anyone else have an issue with dust under the screen of the N73.
Mine has one blob right in the middle, I thought it was a dead pixel at first but this stood out no matter if the screen was on or off a ruined the whole phone for me, which is a shame as otherwise is perfect, I sent it back.

What's the battery life like on the N73 under normal usage. I read a review that mentioned daily charging during the review, is it that bad ?

I know what Nokia claims regarding talktime etc.. but it's always best to get some real world feedback
