Six months back when my Sony Ericsson W700i accidentally went inside a drain, I thought the worst has happened. That was just the beginning of my hard luck. I didn’t think much before going for N73 because of the brand “Nokia” and moreover it was more than a year since the phone was released, so enough time for all the great developers to fix the bugs.
After paying 13K I was very happy with the list of features which my N73 boast about till the minute I switched it ON. The time for the phone to boot up was like that of an old Windows 98 PC. Even when the phone was brand new the applications were very slow. When my friends complained on the speed of my phone, I still tried to convince my self that I made a good choice. Every second day I had to reboot my phone as my phone was acting like a snail. Very soon it started giving memory full errors and to my amazement when I look at the details not even 10% of the memory was used. Six months down the line I no more have the phone with me. Hospitalized in a Nokia “ CARE” center because of the following problems:
Does not vibrate even in Silent mode.
None of the applications work because of memory errors.
Cannot receive even a single SMS as my phone says to clear memory which was already empty.
Call history is not available.
Battery life died down.
The minute I submitted my phone at Nokia care they put a seal “ Express Service” and asked me to wait for 20 mins. I was very impressed as I never expected such quick service. After half an hour when I asked for the phone, the response was to wait for 20 more minutes. Now it is four days since I have give the phone for service, the latest news is my phone has a hardware issue which will take 10 days to resolve. Still waiting for the phone to become fully operational. N73 is good on papers but its memory errors are a pain in the wrong place. Any comment please post
