well first, I can't say about the N91.  people say they like it but I think 
I would personally go for a separate  mp3 player.  I'm not criticising the 
phone but it's out of my price bracket anyway so I didn't really consider 
it.

It's a difficult decision indeed.  Nokia are still, in my opinion, a long 
way away from coming up with a good quality numberpad that everyone can use 
well.  I found the 5500 keyboard felt rather rubbery and difficult to use. 
People say you get used to this and the unit is certainly well built.  It 
comes with a remote that has a standard headphone jack on it so you can plug 
in standard phones and the offering from O2 came with a 1GB card which is 
really useful.  It comes with a 64MB card anyway.  In the end, there were 2 
reasons I did not go for the 5500.  I have read some reviews that suggest 
the battery life is poor and I wanted a phone that could take advantage of 
3g for faster internet browsing.  Many people have got used to the 5500 and 
like it as a phone.

The N73 is not as robust as the 5500 though it has a more conventional 
keypad.  I looked at the N70 and really did not get on with it at all.  In 
particular, I thought the camera cover looked flimsy and rather thrown 
together like an initial draft of some kind of science project at school. 
on the N70 many reviewers commented that it was easy to catch the camera 
cover causing it to slide open, activating the camera.  Things are far 
neater on the N73.  the keypad is a bit squashed but the soft keys and 
especially the menu key, clear key and talks key are better placed I think 
but I still have to get my phone up and working properly.

There is a lot of personal prefference about here and there is no obvious 
winner in terms of ergonomics.  go and get a hands on demo, that is the best 
plan.

Regards

Graham

Out of curiosity what made you choose the N73.
I am about to upgrade my phone but cannot decide to which.
N73/5500/91

Hi all.

I have just got a Nokia N73 from o2 online and have put it on to charge.  I
haven't worked out how to put the sim in there yet and was wondering how
difficult this is to do.

Also, I can't seem to find any case or anything for an SD card or whatever
kind of storage the N73 takes.  I know that usually the phone comes with
some kind of storage card with software on it.  It is also probable that I
will want a card with larger capacity than that supplied with the phone even
if there is one.  what kind of card do I need? is it just a standard Mini SD
card?  and lastly, is it still recommended to install Talks on the storage
card?

Regards

Graham
