Though, other brands are moving fast on the road of progress and prosperity leaving the good old Nokia far behind; still the loyal users don’t turn their backs on Nokia.

Features:

Attractive design, great features, nice messaging services and affordable price; this is the summary of Nokia E73 Mode! This is a nicely designed phone much like the predecessor E72 and had great looks. Despite of its lightweight, this smartphone is extremely solid in your hand. It is easy to hold and compact enough to snuggle against you in your pocket.

2.4 inches display is good with 320 x 240 resolution, but I have seen better resolution display in same size. You get two modes; Work and Personal. Customize each according to your needs (work apps work home screen and fun apps on home screen), and switch them whenever you want.

The optical trackpad is a nice feature indeed, but the surrounding ring makes it difficult to navigate easily. Keyboard is great, literally. It allows easy typing and fewer typos. This phone has got a pretty nice web browser that allows multiple windows, subscription to web feeds, keyword search and supports flash content.

Product’s Unique Selling Points:

• Sleek and attractive design
• Great keyboard
• Full range of wireless options
• Turn by turn navigation through Ovi Maps
• Nice messaging facilities

Limitations:

• Older UI
• Low resolution
• Trackpad’s surrounding ring makes navigation difficult
