N73 - great phone or complete dud

I'm thinkin of upgrading from my old, basic mobile to an N73 so I can mainlu
use the office features and synchronise with my desktop pc at work.
However.............. I've read several reviews that says the phone crashes
frequently, is very slow to operate, and generally is a complete waste of
money. Then there are other reviews from owners who are completely
delighted!

Can any owners out their give me some unbiased advice - is it worth buying,
or should I steer clear and look at something else?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

For me a disaster... i thought the n70 was bad...

I've just sent mine back to O2, very slow in operation, frequently just shut
itself off, tried the software update from the nokia website, it then
disabled most off the business- computer side of things i.e device manager
or slowed them down to the point of a blank blue screen being displayed then
flashes with white then resets itself....

i'm now going to wait for the n95 to see if thats any improvement....

could anyone recommend a substitute? up to date? i thought the sirorro looks
cool but i've heard horror stories about the battery life. It's not even as
good as the 8910i, i wish they would make another phone as smart as that
