Nokia E73 review mode

Published on 09 November 2010. E73 Nokia mode

Background:

A subsidiary of Nokia asked us to do a review on the new Nokia, which runs on the network T-Mobile, a few weeks ago E73 mode.  Having reviewed the Nokia E71x in a previous post: I found the hardware to be solid while the able (if shortly and date) Symbian OS was positively paralyzed by AT & T pejorative.

Needless to say - I excited to get my hands on E73 mode.

Unboxed:
Nokia E73 mode was well packaged and contained the standard set of chargers, cellophane and accessories.

The phone maintains its elegant form (SLIM) and from the get-go factor: only feels solidly built.

The body of the phone is a light metal alloy that is texture for additional grip.  As well as the E71x - is a magnet for fingerprints, but obviously still less than many touch screen phones.
Impressions:
E73 mode has a fantastic keyboard.  The keys are a tiny bit on the small side in comparison with the latest BlackBerry curves but placement and texture of the keys outweighs the size.  The keys you release a strong feeling and excellent feedback and communication.  Pad D has been replaced by a D-pad sensor / hybrid optical / joystick that makes navigation a breeze.

The camera is a matter of 5 megapixels with flash and autofocus performs adequately for a smartphone business and the battery life is amazing - phone lasted a total of 4 days of use moderate on T-Mobile 3 G network and while using the application maps GPS free - a departure from the reception of the E71x.

Software:
In terms of software - Symbian OS is a number of things (not all of them good), but it is stable and blissfully cleared.

Of particular note - the role of "Switch" that allows you to have two different interfaces (homescreen, tones, etc.) that can be changed (GET IT) without effort.  In practice, this makes switching between a homescreen "work" with the email client capable of Nokia and the characteristics of a display of "play" that contains applications of social media, enterprise access to texts, etc.

This feature is especially useful when you leave the Office and heading for a weekend in Boston.  T-Mobile coverage was surprisingly good in the financial district and said coverage-along with an operating system very un-tethered-foresee a device capable of meetings or moshpits users.

Being Symbian said still shows its age and lack of sophistication (compared to mobile operating system many competitors).  While Symbian does its job very well (especially with regard to enterprise applications, email) struggle with graphics and interactivity, preferring to stay in the era of 2003-2006 together with the 8300 BlackBerry smartphones. This is not necessarily something "bad" - especially if you don't have time to fool with overly inflated multimedia-pesados devices and touch screens, but sacrificed breadth and depth of applications compared to an Android or iOS device.

In summary: Nokia E73 mode is a good phone and would have considered a surprising phone in 2005.  While it is an artist capable performer (blows his primo-la AT & T had crippled Nokia E71x-out of the water on all fronts) does not distinguish between the great variety of iOS Android market devices now.
