Nokia N73



Hi,

As a fair few of you on here seem to be clued up on mobiles I thought i'd ask if anyone has any experience of the N73 on Vodafone.

I've just started a contract with o2 but the reception in my house is quite poor (outside is fine but pointless if I can't use it in my house!). I've tried a mates Voda sim and it seems a lot better (even allows me to access 3G!) so i'm contemplating swapping; my only concern is i've read rumours that Voda lock certain functions of different phones out whether it be no mp3's as ringtones, or no unsigned applications allowed to be installed.

Does anyone have an N73 on Voda or know of any restrictions on this handset with them as I don't want to be restricted to what I can use?

Any info greatly appreciated.

I've ALWAYS had a phone on Vodafone (the latest have been a 6680, N70 and now an N80) and they have never locked any features.

I've heard of Orange doing this but as said NEVER Voda.

Hope that helps!

Voda DO do it.. they had my GF's phone set so that you had to buy MP3's from them if you wanted to use em as a ringer. I managed to get hold of some software though that tricked it into thinking the mp3 was signed by voda.

Dont know if they still do it though as my w900 never had any lockouts.

update the firmware if so mate. i had a N80 on orange with lots of orange crap on. flashed the latest firmware and it was fine after.
 
Cheers for the replies - looks like i'll just have to sort anything they throw at me as I can't be doing with o2's reception :(

I see Nokia have announced the N75 and N95 already. N75 is a flip phone and the N95 looks very much like the N80.

New York, US - Nokia today introduced the Nokia N95, an all-in-one multimedia computer with a pioneering 2-way slide concept, integrated GPS functionality, a 5 megapixel camera and support for high-speed mobile networks, making it easier to watch and record videos, listen to songs, take high-quality photos, browse the internet, or catch up on email while on the move.

"The Nokia N95 brings a range of multimedia ingredients together, such as a fantastic display, outstanding photo and video capability and high-speed connectivity, making it the ultimate multimedia computer," said Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President, Multimedia, Nokia. "This single device - which fits easily in your pocket - can replace stand-alone devices that you no longer need, whether it's your music player, your digital camera, PDA or navigation device. Most importantly, the Nokia N95 is with you and connected when you want to use it."

The innovative 2-way slide concept makes it easy to switch between different modes, going from reading maps to watching a video with a simple slide. A numeric keypad slides out from one end of the device while dedicated media keys slide out from the opposite direction, converting the display into full screen landscape mode. With powerful 3D graphics, the Nokia N95 has a stunning user interface that makes it intuitive to find the features and services you want.

With its integrated GPS at your fingertips, finding your way just got easier. The Maps application includes maps for more than 100 countries, enabling users to explore the world, find specific routes or locate services such as restaurants and hotels and covering more than 15 million points of interest. You can also purchase additional features, such as city guides and voice guided navigation.

With the Carl Zeiss optics on the 5 megapixel camera, you can capture print quality photos and DVD-like quality video clips. Photos and video clips can be enjoyed on a compatible television thanks to the device's TV out feature and support for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) technology.

Designed for High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) networks and with support for WLAN, EDGE and WCDMA networks, the Nokia N95 provides excellent coverage and speeds wherever you may be. In HSDPA networks, browsing the internet, reading email, streaming video and downloading large files can be carried out up to 10 times faster than with 3G.

The Nokia N95 also offers a first class entertainment experience with the combination of a large 2.6" QVGA 16 million color display, impressive 3D graphics, built-in stereo speakers offering a 3D stereo effect, standard 3.5 mm audio jack, support for compatible microSD cards and mini USB for convenient data transfer. Browsing the internet on the Nokia N95 is a pleasure using the Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map, with new features such as a floating toolbar, password manager and auto complete, as well as web feeds with support for Atom and auto update.

The Nokia N95 is based on the world's leading S60 software on Symbian OS, enabling you to personalize your device from a wide choice of compatible applications that can be downloaded to the Nokia N95, including games, navigation, entertainment, productivity and creativity. The Nokia N95 comes out of the box ready to create, connect, consume and interact with some of the internet's most popular services. Use Yahoo! Search to search for and find most anything on the web, scroll though a book with Amazon's MobiPocket Reader or snap a photo and send it directly to your Flickr site.

The Nokia N95 is expected to start shipping in volumes during the first quarter of 2007 at an estimated unsubsidized retail price of 550 euros
