Any good 3rd party stuff I can download for it? Any decent apps/games/skins etc. Anyone got a an efficient way I can flash the firmware and brick it or anything?

Check out [link=http://www.nokia.com/A4176089">this page for firmware updates. I reflashed my N70 the other day and the process worked just fine. Also, take a look at

Bump, because I'm looking to get a new phone and this one seems to tick all the right boxes. Only problem is, this being a Symbian phone I've heard of various problems with random freezing, bugs and a really slow interface. Is it really that much of a problem?

I'm thinking of getting the Music Edition version, which comes in black, 2GB card and headset (with 3.5mm socket) included and with a slightly improved music player. I'm guessing that sound quality (through a decent pair of headphones), even on the normal N73, is pretty good. Any issues in that department?

I've read a few reviews and the phone seems almost ideal, I want it mainly for the music capabilities and that 3.2MP camera. Not too expensive, too.

Morriss - If you're still after some apps/games/themes etc then chuck a PM my way and I'll send you some info.

I've just got an E65 which runs the same OS and I've spent a silly amont of time figuring out what the top apps and games are.

Kay - I've not used the N73 myself, but I highly recommend the symbian OS. If you can get the phone with a good data tariff (say Three or T-mobile) then it really comes alive.

Oh, and a positive vote for Lutz as a seller here. He's fast and reliable.

Cheers, I'd prefer a brand new one though, and SIM free.

I know the Symbian OS is good and flexible, but it's also a little slow and unreliable compared to, say, the stock SE or Nokia interface.
