Nokia E73
I paid about five hundred bucks for my E71 back in 2008, so imagine my surprise three years later when Mobilicity brought the AWS-tuned E73 to Canada for a measly hundred and fifty. I ran out and bought one almost immediately.
That summer my E73 came along with me to Canmore, Alberta for yet another WOM World event — #NokiaUnfenced. It was to be my last one apparently, as I honestly (perhaps foolishly) professed on camera that I had zero interest in Windows-powered Nokia devices.
I also made an ass of myself on an obstacle course, but that’s another story…
A Summerlicious treat…
Though S60 was a significant downgrade from Android, my modern-ish E73 had many of Symbian’s best qualities from days gone by. The autofocus camera with macro was missing on many newer Nokias of the day, replaced by cheaper and quite inferior EDoF technology. You can read more about that in part one of my Symbian Anna Extravaganza.
And as you can probably guess, Android would win me back in short order. But it would take the brave new world of custom ROMs to do it.
I remember an E73 beachhouse. I still have the suit and tie that I went kayaking and jetski riding in.
I remember that, looked like a great time!
Unfortunately Mobilicity doesn’t quite have the subscriber numbers that T-Mobile USA does. 😉
