14 DAY TRIAL // If your baby has recently grown a tooth, his skills aren't anything compared to what Chinese can do to cellphones. Their Kung-Fu Cloning style is better than anything else you might think of! Not only do they try making the handset they clone just a little better so it can have enough buyers to justify the investment but they also do something that becomes some sort of a signature to every device they ever cloned.
On every phone they got their hands on (and messed with) you can be 100 percent sure you'll be able to find a touchscreen.
After meeting the Sunny Ericssom P999 and the Meizu iPhone I already presented you, what do you think is the next big thing? An N73 PDA Music Phone of course! :) If you would think this is a Nokia N73 handset the first time you see it, I wouldn't blame you at all because the damn thing looks like it's Nokia's cellphone twin brother.
But the resemblances between the two devices pretty much end on the outside shell because on the inside, the N73 PDA proves to be the evil twin you never wanted to meet. Not only it doesn't have a 3.2 megapixel camera as Nokia's device does but it also doesn't run the Symbian Series 60 OS (imagine the surprise when I found out about this :) ) and it doesn't offer any kind of 3G data technology.
Than what does this N73 have to offer? Dual band 900 and 1800 MHz GSM radios, WAP, GPRS, MMS and SMS, USB Mass Storage, a 1.3 megapixel digital camera, 10 MB of internal memory, T-Flash memory expansion card slot with a 256 MB card included, an MP3 player, built-in stereo speakers and video player with support for 3GP and MP4 files.
I don't even dare asking myself how the software platform behaves like or how much will the battery last! In one word, if you're expecting to find anything nice in this handset, you'll be disappointed very fast because it just ain't going to happen!
Oh, oh, I forgot something very, very important to mention! The N73 PDA Music Phone also features the omnipresent touchscreen I was talking about in the beginning of this article so if you are a fan of styli, I suppose this 215 $ handset would be a steal for you. NOT!
