Great, thanks for the info. Is it normal to have to purchase this type of phone over the internet? I'm in the US and the city I live in doesn't have a place that offers unlocked phones of any kind.

Nokia has released more f/w updates for the N73 than any other phone (to my knowledge) They just released an update last week!

The N73 is a great phone, you won't be disappointed.

Hi all! I'm new here, this seems like a great form. I need some help; I'm thinking about purchasing an unlocked Nokia for use here in the US with either t-mobile or at&t. Both the N70 and the N73 look like good phones to me as I like the bar phone style and their features still seem nice compared to phones available where I live. I realize, however, they're both a couple years old. I would think about getting newer ones but I'm looking to keep price down. Just wondering if anyone can shed some light if this is a good idea? Would these phones hold up for a few more years if I purchase them new? Are there newer, similar, models I should be considering instead? Sorry for such a long post but I am new to this and any help would be greatly appreciated!!
