Does anyone have Nokia N73?

You bought a mobile phone and you plan to listen to music on it!?!?

I know your mp3 packed up, but surely it would be better to invest in replacing that rather than using the 'phone?

(Remember, I'm of the old school where phones are for talking to people, mp3 players are for listening to music on, etc)

Depends what you want to use it for. Do you want a lot of space for music (30+ GB) or something more modest (2-8 GB)? Do you want hard disk or flash memory (this choice will limit your choice for space)? Do you want iTunes or something else?

BTW, when using iTunes can you drag-and-drop tracks when filling your player or do you have to sync (or something similar?)

iTunes should not be a memory monster because it 'just' runs on Microsoft. That's as ignorant of Apple as Microsoft ignores standards.

Speaking of iStuff, a friend of mine got the iPHONE the other day and I honestly - me an avid iCrap hater up to that moment, i ended up with my jaw dropped on the floor; That thing must be the most amazing high-profile gadget i've ever seen so far!

Ho, not so fast! When at a convention for work the other day, a self-called early adapter showed me that gadget. Being wowed at first, I later saw an article on all the limitations on that thing. It seems incredibly cool at first, flipping through files with just a touch of the finger, but the capacity of the iPhone is limited, as well are the features. Besides, there's only a touch screen, no keyboard, so imagine how greasy that thing must get after a while! Soon, a second version will be introduced, which doesn't have all the limitations... now that might be interesting. So far, don't buy it just yet, just because it looks cool

Alright, it wasn't the capacity, but something else, as I read it more then a week ago, I didn't remember it welll. I googled it up, these are the most annoying limitations:

- No Universal Inbox for mail
- No text selection option on the internet or mail
- Unable to open e-mail attachments
- Bad camera quality (if there is ANY movement at all during the shot you get a blurry image)
- No extra camera options (no zoom-function, for example)
- Doesn't shoot video
- No mass-management, in the e-mail for example (you can't select multiple ANYTHING)
- The phone lacks copy and paste functionality
- You can't forward an SMS
- Headphones Port (95% of third party headphones don't fit)
- It gets hot a lot and it doesn't get over it)

So far, it looks like nothing more but a cool illusion

There's already a new system, called WINDOWS 7 in development. I've seen screen shots and there's also a pirated trial (exp.June08) version out.

Yeap; Vista is pretty popular btw, all new laptops by all companies come bundled with it (naturally). With SP1 installed, i find that they work wonders. So far.

Ok, so you´ve finally bought a cellular to listen to music....
Have a nice time charging your battery once a day

Seriously, there are plenty of mp3 players out there that base their existance in the fact that they are designed to listen to mp3.

When I find a phone that holds 180 GB, THEN I may consider switching.
Until such time phone is east and music is west and never the twain shall meet.

6 full scores!? That is not a lot of full scores.

What do you mean they died? I heard NOKIA is full of crap these days with LG, SAMSUNG taking the largest part of the market (and sony ericsson driving the teens crazy but being equally unreliable with Nokia) but are they THAT bad?

From what i hear, yes. It's a pretty popular model. Samsung's and LG's have lots of features for very acceptable prices than what you'd pay for say iPhone or an HTC phone with the same specs, for this reason they're very popular. As for quality, they're above standard levels.

But ... still nothing beats the iPhone.

Because God says so. Period.
