Hi Jackie, I don't have one yet, but apparently, the N95-8GB has improved battery life, as it has a higher capacity battery. Also, if you update the firmware to the regular N95 to Version 20, then also your battery life does improve. I can attest to this, as I have updated my firmware, and it certainly has.

I charge mine every couple of days, obviously depending on how much I use it. I think the more modern phones appear to be that bit more battery hungry. I don't have an N73, but I think there are others on this list who do, and will be more definitive on what life they get out of it.
