The Nokia N800 Internet Tablet underwent a nice little makeover, lightening up its once all-black casing with a sleek silver face and shaving off a bit of thickness and weight (2.9×5.7×0.5 inches; 7.2 ounces). The device is slim enough to easily slip into your bag, but it’s probably too big to comfortably fit it into a pants pocket. Holding it in your hand, you might notice it’s a little top heavy for reasons we’ll explain a bit later, but it has a solid construction. Also, if you get tired of holding it, Nokia has built in a convenient kickstand so you can prop it up on your desk. It’s located on the bottom of the device, and all you have to do is pull it out toward the back.
The browser is a full featured browser. Not a mobile browser that formats stuff for a small screen. This means that in its default state, some of the text you read is a bit small. However you can zoom in easily with buttons right on the top of the device. This tends to give you horizontal scroll bars though. To handle this you can choose “Fit width to view”. This helps, but sometimes mangles the layout of pages. I don’t mean to make a big deal about this though. For most actual use, most pages are fine, and a quick zoom in is adequate to be able to read small type. Pages render surprisingly quick, and Flash seems to work pretty well. Of course, you gotta realize its limits. I wouldn’t try to run a really cpu intensive Flash app on this thing, and I ran into a couple of pages that had a lot of Flash on them, which really slowed things down. But it plays most Youtube videos just fine, for instance.
The battery life is pretty good too: it reportedly manages 10 days in always-ON standby (the device is actually ON, and with only a few hardware elements OFF), and it managed here about 5 hours of WiFi usage (screen in low backlight mode). It is my estimation (I only had the device for just a day and a half so far) that having the Gizmo or GTalk clients ON and leaving WiFi ON while in standby mode, you should get about 4-5 days of battery life which is better than the second best such device, the Nokia E61.

The N76 is a smartphone. It runs Symbian S60 and comes in WCDMA and GSM flavors. It doesn’t seem to be available on our shores quite yet — if I have it my hot little hands, however, that means it should be online and in Nokia stores any day now. I can’t confirm right now, but it doesn’t look like any carriers will pick this old girl up, so you may need to spend about $499 on it.
The N76 comes with a high quality & fun camera feature which allows the user to take photos, edit photos, save photos & share them with other contacts. The camera is a 2 megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss Optics Tessar™ Lens. The camera comes complete with 20 x digital zoom & a LED flash which ensures a clear & precise photo is capture each & every time the camera is used. The user has the freedom to take photos when the phone is in the opened or closed position with the use of camera capture keys being situated externally. The camera feature comes with many useful & exciting camera modes & photo setting which allow the user to gain the perfect finish for their photos. The screens work as viewfinders for camera & video features.
The phone itself is quite stylish with a 2-megapixel camera and bright chromed color scheme. It his 13mm thick has 26MB internal memory with a hot swappable microSD card slot. It lasts about 160 minutes on one charge although I saw standby times of about 10 days with little use.
The user can record, play, stream, download, edit, share & video call using the Nokia N76’s video feature. The Nokia N76 comes with a built in video recorder which is easy to use & comes with many fun & useful settings & modes, ready & waiting for the user to edit their video recordings to perfection. The user can share their video with others by simply creating a multimedia message with video, text & sound. The user can have a face to face video call with other contacts who have a compatible 3G mobile phone with a video calling feature. The user can see their contact on the large internal screen & the second small camera on the N76 will record the user which will be seen by their compatible contact.
The N76 is available in red and black. My review sample was the red variety, and I have to say that while I don’t usually go for red in a handset the all metal casing and use of silver as the other colour does have a certain appeal. It won’t be for everyone, though, and the black alternative is a rather more subtle take on things.
This is a clamshell phone and a huge one. The flip format enables mobiles to be pretty small, but Nokia seems to have ignored that design possibility here. Measuring 106.5mm tall, 52mm wide and 13.7mm thick, it grows to a massive 185mm tall when the flip is opened. At 115g, at least it is not too heavy.
The size means this phone is a bit of a challenge for smaller pockets and also a challenge for smaller hands and you’ll need to both to open it, when a simple recess on the lid would have allowed for one handed opening.

The N73 Music Edition is a candy bar mobile measuring 110 x 49 x 19 mm and weighing 16 grams, it is the latest in the N70 series building upon a solid base of middle range function while adding small layers of either business smartphone like technology or multimedia capabilities. This N73 opts for the multimedia buyer and differs from the standard N73 in only a few ways. The first is obvious with the previously silver design now clad in stealth black a move mirrored from the Sony Ericsson range.
Email is also included with SMTP, IMAP4 and POP3 clients supported. Email attachments can be downloaded and saved to the N73 Music Edition’s mini-SD card or to the 42MB of internal memory. The mini-SD card slot is cleverly located at the bottom of the handset. There is also regular MMS and SMS messaging with T9 predictive text input, but the poorly designed keyboard will affect messaging speeds.
The N73 Music phone is a tri band data enabled mobile and as seen in the standard N73 it is a rugged little performer running the Symbian OS 9.1 S60 3rd edition. The screen is the same stunning 262k colour 240 x 320 pixel unit which is chosen for its clarity as part of the standard N73 camera phone model, here it has all those features plus makes for a great interface for the media player functions. Below the screen sits the now standard Nokia button set-up for a candybar design, there 2 soft buttons provide quick access to a variety of menu options and there is a surprisingly shallow navigation joystick which is more fiddly than normal.
The N73 Music Edition conveniently includes an adapter to plug in a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, which is handy, because the included pair only does a mediocre job. There is a digital music player with stereo audio supporting MP3, AAC, M4A, eAAC+ and WMA files. The device also includes RealPlayer, so playing full screen videos in MPEG-4 format is possible. Best of all, the N73 Music Edition is a USB mass storage device so files can simply be dragged and dropped onto the phone without using Nokia software. A stereo FM radio with 20 preset stations is also included, with all multimedia functions controlled through a stylish media menu.

The N73 is a candy bar-shaped phone with a vibrant, six-centimetre, 262K-colour display. Nokia ships the N73 in three colour variations: silver grey/deep plum, frost white/metallic red and frost white/mocha brown. It’s quite a large phone, measuring 110mm by 49mm by 19mm, but Nokia keeps the weight of the handset down to a reasonable 116 grams. The keypad is relatively small and cramped, with eight shortcut keys squeezed above and around the numerical buttons. Navigating menus can be tricky as the joystick beneath the screen is small and sensitive.
Over at Nokia they tried to boost the N73 using various technologies so that it could not only impress end-users on imaging front but also offer fair basic functionality. The aim at the mass market has eventually resulted in three different trims - Silver Grey/Deep Plum, Frost White/Metallic Red, Frost White/Mocha Brown, however all they have only the rear and sides painted, while the light front plate remains almost untouched There is not much of a difference between two color schemes (Deep Plum, Mocha Brown) – it’s more about color tones. On the other hand the Metallic Red stands out against the background of its companions and will sure appeal to women. Hereafter the market will see launch of a black edition – whether it will be only an addition to already released trims, or a limited offering materialized owing to another promo-action, we do not know.
Nokia chose respected optical brand Carl Zeiss for the N73’s f2.8/f5.6 Tessar lens. With a resolution of 3.2-megapixels, you can take shots suitable for prints up to 5.1 x 6.8 inches (13 x 17cm), however standard 4 x 6 inch photos (10 x 15cm) will turn out less grainy. The N73 supports four image quality settings, from MMS-suitable shots up to the aforementioned print quality photos. Scene modes include auto, macro, portrait, landscape, sports, night and night portrait; the N73 displays a helpful description of each when you’re choosing the mode. Red-eye reduction flash mode is onboard, but we were disappointed with the N73’s LED-based flash — the xenon flash on the Sony Ericsson K800i does a much better job. Colour tone, exposure, ISO speed and white balance can all be adjusted to pre-defined values for stills.
The smartphones by Nokia are getting smaller with every release, and this case isn’t an exception – in fact, it’s the apex of miniaturization of smartphones incorporating QVGA screen. Today only Nokia 5500 can overcome the N73 dimensions-wise, but it still yields to the latest N7x’s offspring when it comes to display. The Nokia N73 measures 110?49?19 mm in size and weights 116 grams. In future the dimensions in this series will vary within the limits of these sizes, further reduction won’t take place.
The front of the N73 is dominated by the large display, but we’ll touch on that later. The keypad on the N73 is rather small, and one of the things I like least about the device. The combination of small keys and a position very, very close to the bottom of the phone make them rather hard for me to use. If you have small hands it might work out better for you, but then again, the N73 might also feel a bit top heavy for people with smaller hands. The keys themselves work very well, and the joystick and surrounding softkeys and call control keys are also very good. I don’t really like the four chromed buttons that surround the keypad, though. Of the four, only the C key and the main S60 menu keys are really used very often. The C key’s lower right hand corner placement makes it very hard for me to use, as a right handed person.

The N70 Music Edition supports SMS, MMS and e-mail messaging with T9 predictive text input as well as Java, voice recording and dialling and a load of PIM features such as calendar, notes and to-do list. We were extremely impressed with the quality of voice calls, and their high volume means they will rarely go unheard, even in noisy environments.
The N70 Music Edition has an excellent display; a large, clear and crisp 2.1-inch screen with 262,000 colour support. Images were a joy to view, video calling was clear and video playback using the supplied RealPlayer software was also displayed well. The N70 Music Edition features Nokia’s ‘active standby screen’, which allows users to easily select their most frequently used functions without having to navigate through the phones menu. The default items on the N70 Music Edition include Contacts, Log, Profiles, Gallery and Image Print. Below the row of menu items on the standby screen is a convenient space which displays any calendar entries for the current day. Date and time, currently active profile, unread messages and missed calls are also displayed on the active standby screen.
Up to 1GB memory, the Nokia N70 Music Edition gives you more music in your pocket. You can personalize your music with a choice of digital music tracks and press the music key for direct access to them. Also, use the music-optimized headset with remote control for easy access. With these enhanced music capabilities, this compact package has high-performance multimedia at its core.
The Nokia N70 Music Edition and Nokia N73 Music Edition are expected to become commercially available in October 2006 and the Nokia N91 8GB by end of 2006, with estimated, unsubsidized sales prices of approximately 350, 450 and 550 euros respectively.
