| | Review: Works Sometime!
| I recently purchased the Nokia E73 to replace my E71, which turned out to be very frustrating. With in a month the unit began to reboot it self almost daily. After every mysterious reboot icons would turn up missing only to return after I powered down and restarted the unit? There is also a bug in the external email set up. All pop mail Gmail, hot-mail etc. set up and connected perfectly however after less than a month I was unable to access any of my external email accounts? Only after powering off and rebutting the unit, was I able to receive or send an email. Unfortunately, the power off maneuver only lasted a few minutes before the unit reverted to its previous dysfunction and once again prevented me from sending or receiving emails. I immediately phoned T-Mobile who were very sympathetic to my frustration and are going to ship out a new unit. I really hope the next one works. Ironically I'm back to using my trusty E71 which has not failed me. If only it was compatible with T-Mobile USA's 3g network.
I will give the E73 one more try; with luck the new unit will work? if not its back to the shop and off to the crack berry I go.

| | Review: Most capable device of its type
| I purchased this during the first week that it came out. My previous smartphones were all BlackBerries, most recently an 8900. I looked at the offerings from every major U.S. carrier and this was by far the most capable candy bar QWERTY on the market. It still is. The only competition is from the Blackberry. These two are in a class apart.
The E73 does everything. The camera takes great pictures even outside at night without streetlights! I take more pictures and send more picture messages and I email more pictures with this than I ever did with the BlackBerry. Typing on this keyboard is better than 1he Blackberry with one hand or with two. I find myself instinctively typing letters correctly without looking at the keyboard. The web browser is superior. The speakers are loud enough.
There are tons of built-in and pre-loaded apps. Ovi maps beats BlackBerry maps and google. The flashlight app that is built-in to the keyboard is convenient and bright. The Radio application is fun to use and doesn't drain the battery. YouTube is pre-loaded. I have never been able to view YouTube on a Blackberry. Podcasting is pre-loaded. QuickOffice is pre-loaded; so, I do not have to carry a laptop anymore.
It is not as fast or as addictive as the Blackberry. Blackberry is still the ultimate messaging device. This phone is not easy to use. Sometimes settings are mysterious to find, and navigating menus is slow enough to annoy me. The wi-fi calling didn't work that well for me. I kept dropping calls for no apparent reason. So, I turned it off, and now my calls are stable everywhere T-Mobile has good coverage.
It is a great all around phone with loads of style and a more solid build than most smartphones that I have played with. Most of the others felt like toys compared to this, and this phone is thin enough to carry in a shirt pocket. This phone just looks and feels classy like a black silk tie.
If you want the most efficient messaging platform, a Blackberry is better. If you want everything, get this as long as you are willing to learn how to use it.
