While commenting on the display of Nokia N73, the 2.4 inches diagonal screen, presents a great look, with its 240×320 pixel resolution, and 262 colours TFT display. The picture on this screen is satisfactory, and with a translucent metallic substrate layer on the screen, the display is quite legible even in the Sun, The keyboard on Nokia N73, is located at the bottom of the handset, and shows a bit of congestion. However, the phone can be managed with one hand, though it becomes awkward at certain times. It is somewhat difficult to use the functional keys, such as, menu, edit, C, Multimedia.

In conclusion the N79 is a strong ‘all round’ handset. Although not innovative in design , it does sport the ‘intelligent’ changeable back covers which changes the phone’s theme, something that is unique in its own right. In addition to this, it does have some other nice little features and capabilities described in this review. Good multimedia, a host of connectivity functions plus an excellent internet browser are all wins for the N79. Ok, so the camera is not the best in the world, the screen size could and should have been bigger and the choice of back covers which should be in synchronisation with the front are precarious, but overall the Nokia N79’s performance is solid and reliable, with battery life to satisfy even the most demanding users…
Some of the points which caught my attention about the N97 are: * A whopping 32GB of internal memory – which can be expanded to a maximum of 48GB. This is great for carrying around your media and there’s no need of another media player * 16:9 screen ratio – perfect for viewing widescreen movies on the go – this unit’s got a TV out so you can project the movies on your phone on the big screen. * A FM transmitter – to listen to your music on the car radio without the need of extra cables to hook it on. * Home Screen Widgets – this allows you to have a pieces of the Internet on your home screen. * The QWERTY keyboard had a good feel to it. Even though the keys on the N97 are smaller than the E75’s, they layout seems to just feel better laid out on the N97. * The touchscreen also seems to perform better than the 5800’s. * The phone comes bundled with the Facebook application, apart from other Social Media application like Hi5 and Qik. So you don’t have to hunt for these apps once you get your phone. * The tilt of the screen when the keypad is open is a very useful feature allowing the user to place the phone on a table while typing out messages and emails, taking calls or surfing the web.
