Dude, you said almost all the reasons to buy a mobile, why ask us? i think you should consider your choice rather than your friends opinion and also, i see that from dec 2007, you have only posted 3 posts, phew! that's too low. But i suggest n73m coz i had it and now, i use 3600 the new one!

dude N73 has got 3G it's Joystick is very much stable and it's new firmware has increased it's processing speed and image capability i will take a screenshot and show you !!!

N73 ME's joystick is not loose . It has a few mm of free play to prevent accidental clicking of something and to prevent it from breaking when its in your trousers or jeans pocket. It has became very fast with recent fw updates. I am saying so coz my fone runs 24 hours a day for torrenting ,chatting, music, surfing ,emails, sms,internet radio, for connecting my pc to internet .and all the things i can do with this fone but it doesnt slows down. I am eagerly waiting for 3G

.

no doubt n73 ME will be the best choice if you can leave without an wifi!

+ 1 for n-73

what are the prices for n73,n73 m...what exactly 3g do?

what about n91

I would say to get N73ME (N73m) for 12.5-13K.......It is going to have better music than the simple N73...... + N73 (both) have got a lot better 3.2mp camera than E51 with both Flash, AutoFocus....E51 has just got a 2mp camera. N73 also has a bigger screen.

3G has no use in India at present....It is a new technology which will improve data transfer speeds....

Get E51 if you oly need Wi-fi and can compromise on the other features provided by N73.......

N91 has got a very good music playback but its way too heavy and Nokia has stopped its production. Go for N73ME..........

hi i have read that nokia will stop maufaturing n73 soon...is it so, is it a problem

Go for N73 only...Its a great cellphone and has everything. It will definitely suit u...

n-73 is better choice in than any other phone in ur budget

C

n73-m is a good one
good music and good camera and built in quality, no issue for its joystick
but i think the problem with n73 is its slowness. i found this phone very slow.
i recommend k810i instead of n73which has better than n73 camera good display and all

^^ have you tested N73 having the latest firmware ?

it is very fast

bluetooth speed images quality and much more have been increased

well if N73 production will be stopped still there is no problem

they will create a stable firmware for n73 and then will stop the production not just like that

so there will be no problem

i have recently bought it

it is the best phone for medium budget

its better to wait for the n78 or c702.

should i buy music edition(3g,2gb card) or non music edition of n73(no 3g, headphones has no 3.5mm jack and remote 512 mn card)
what r the prices?

buy the music edition if you can increase your budget by 2k it is of 13k

and dude both n73 have got 3g

and i would recommend just buy n73

later i will tell you some ways so that you can update your n73 to n73 ME

and for 3.5 mm jack you can buy those earphone with jack for 350rs

The camera on E51 is average (not bad) but there is no flash, in performs quite well in daylight

I prefer the E51 to n73 because camera is not that important to me, but WiFi is.

I definitely want to be able to search for WiFI hotspots and browse or chat with my friends rather than buy the N73 just for its camera.

So the choice is upto you whether you want a better camera or WiFi capability. Make the choice based on this. But both the phones are really awesome and VFM. Especially the E51 which has no match in its price range.

dude if you are a buisness person buy e5i else N73 is the way to go

Yen-73. Best option.

Both N73 and N73 Music Edition have 3G. Only difference is the black body, 2gb card and different headset. In my opinion buying the Music Edition is better idea since you get much more for the price difference that you pay over the standard N73. Plus it looks better too.

you can also get n73-hs62 which is basically n73 me with hs-62 headphone

but for the hs62 you have to pay another 1k ...

thanks brother for your valuable suggestions..i am also going to buy simple n73 first but after visiting nokia india site i downloaded the manual for it (pdf 2.7mb nearabout)it said n73 is n73-5 and in manual there is no word about 3g, then i downloaded n73M's pdf manual ,in it 3g is clearly mentioned. i goggled about this and i found that simple n73(n73-5) don't have 3g(don't know much about it). is there any other version of n73 also available ..
tell something about the earphone with 3.5 mm jack, cost of 1gb-2gb sd card or i should 512mb bundeled card(n73).

i also visited a local mobile shop where available models are n73-5(mentioned on box),n73M and n73M with headphones..is any other model available too??

-NGage device
-Joystick is good ..no problem while using it.joystick is different from earlier nokia phone
-There is no 3g in N73-5 RM-132 officially but flashing it with RM-133 and enabling 3g has been reported .Read nokia's response on N73-5

-price difference btw music and non-music edition is 1800-2200.best deal would be if you can get N73-1 non music edition..with the left out money u can buy better handsfree and card
