As with each 'Music/Internet Edition' that Nokia produces, the end result is mainly an exercise in marketing, at least in that those who bought the original device certainly don't need to upgrade, since their hardware can almost certainly be used for the same purposes. But full credit to Nokia for making the extra effort to get across to consumers that you can (shock horror) listen to stereo music on their S60 smartphones.

In the N73's case, it's a bit of a double whammy, since it's already known for being something of a supreme camera phone. Camera AND music? Must sound pretty tempting to someone on the High Street.

But what has actually been added? After all, the original N73 was a fairly complete package. The hardware had its limitations, in the tiny keypad and the camera which couldn't handle very bright light conditions, and the hardware here's identical. What's different is the music software, a key assignment and the accessories shipped in the box.

Oh yes, and it's black. Music biz black and, in my opinion the best looking N73 yet. And it's not as obvious now that it's all plastic.
