Just received it this week. Replacing my Nokia N90 with this model, the photos are much better (both have optical Carl Zeiss lenses, but thisis 3.2 mp vs. 2.0 on the N90). Also, the N73 covers all radio bands, making the reception on my Cingular coverage very very strong everywhere (supposedly two internal antennae). The N90 lacked one of the frequency ranges used by Cingular, so depending on the city I was in, I occasionally had very spotty coverage.
The Symbian operating system in the N73 is faster than the older version on the N90, and best of all, it is much more compact than the N90, fits nicely in the palm of my hand and in my jeans pocket. Last, there is a very smooth operating lense cover on the back of the phone, protecting the camera lense (why aren't they all like this?).
As usual, the flash isn't the equivalent of even a moderate digital camera, but otherwise I see this phone as the best of both worlds.
