Gorgeous hardware ; Free turn-by-turn navigation ; Good value

Outdated UI ; Bad browser performance ; Optical pad not great

The BlackBerry Bold almost lives up to its name with a stunning design, but its mediocre call quality and camera hold it back

Exceptionally portable, with outstanding build quality. Unparalleled battery life. Quite the bargain. Easily one of the best Symbian handsets on the market

Symbian OS is getting increasingly dated compared to its rivals, especially in ease of navigation. Touchpad design is poor. Crummy screen resolution

Beautiful design. Great for messaging. Wi-Fi calling. Free GPS nav software.

Small, low-res screen. So-so camera. Not enough apps.

Multimedia and Conclusions The E73 is a very good music player, and not quite as good a video player. The 218MB of free memory can be enhanced with a MicroSD card slipped into a side slot; a 4GB card came with our unit, but a Kingston 16GB card also...

All-in-all the Nokia E73 Mode is a great phone for the business oriented user. There is not much that can be said against the Nokia E73 Mode. It surpasses its cousin, the Nokia E71, and with the upgrade to the operating system it keeps up with the...

Long battery Life, Overall system speed, Browser, browsing performance

Overwhelming grid of built-in apps, Learning curve to the placement of some keys on the thumboard, Dated look and feel to the software

Symbian is long in the tooth and isn't as media-centric as its competitors ; WebFontConfig = { google: { families: ['Noto Sans'] } }; (function () { var wf = document.createElement('script'); wf.src = ('https:' ==...

When compared to the recently launched Samsung Vibrant or other competitors like the HTC EVO 4G, iPhone 4, or Motorola DROID X, the E73 can't compete. But it doesn't have to. In reality, the device (and its $69.99 price tag) is targeted at the low-end,...

Thin, light, capable and inexpensive -- a quadruple threat ; Free GPS navigation for life is great ; Big, beefy battery

Needs to play nicer with popular services ; Display is a bit small for some functions

The Nokia E73 Mode is a great addition for T-Mobile, and should fair well with the business crowd -- if T-Mobile markets it well. It's easily one of the best QWERTY-equipped smartphones in the T-Mobile lineup and at $70, it's a steal.
