I had a N73 from orange last week. 7 days later I sent it back. You need the mini sdram, mobymemory do a 2Gb one with usb adapter for about £45 ? I know as I brought one for hte phone.

However, the phone ! Absolute ****e mate. N73 have lots of problems, from it thinking you have an answermessage all the time, to (if orange) the bloody thing connecting to the web on a reboot.

Looking into it, the best way forward is to blow the firmware and install a unbranded firmware on to the phone.

Go onto the nokia forum, or symbain sites, you get free software downloads. What pi55ed me off as helpful features like alarm calls repeated daily and keypad locks are all gone. You need to buy and down load them.

I found the phone slow to use and flakey.

Mines been fine but there are a couple of features missing that were on my old 6230. It's more that made up for by the extra's that it can run like satnav.

1gb miniSD was £15 on ebay when I bought mine.

N73 doesnt have the keypad lock, as like the 62330, i.e. after 2 mins the phone locks, you press unlock + #

Instead you turn on the keyguard, which then requires you to type in the security code.

Also, it doesnt have the ability to set the alarm to ring Mon - Fri. You have to set it every night.

Now, not so much of a ball ache, but for me, a right pain. I also didnt like the way each subscriber, orange / vodka, tune their phones in regards to app, and set up. Orange, on a reboot of the phone, connects to the orange internet, and if out of your free period can cost you £50 a month.

So, searching the net, you have to de-brand the phone, and install Nokia's on firmware, which has its own menu system. You also need to down load handy clock and handylock sis functions to have the above functions.

It all becomes a bit of a ball ache, for me anyway, so I sent the phone back. I spoke to Orange and the engineer told me that they are having tons of errors, faults with this phone, as its new.

Mind you, like you can see, many have had nothing but good things to say about it. Im now going for a 8800 Nokia.
