FCC blesses Nokia N73

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jul 12th 2006 at 12:48PM

Are you loving the N93's spec sheet, but gargantuan clamshells aren't your cup of tea? No worries, friends; the 3.2-megapixel candybar N73 has just been approved by the FCC, and thanks to quadband GSM, we have a fighting chance of seeing this one drop in the States -- at least in Nokia's flagship store, if nothing else. Specs are enough to get the juices of any S60 fan flowing: UMTS (albeit on the 2100MHz band), 2.4-inch QVGA display, MiniSD slot, stereo speakers, FM radio, Bluetooth 2.0, and the list goes on. Now let's just cross our fingers Qualcomm doesn't get its way, and we might be seeing this hotness before too long in these parts.

Finally! A phone worthy of replacing my Nokia 6620! I can't wait until this phone comes out and some folks work out the kinks in the first few shipments so that I can finally buy one.

The K800 is a great phone, but the Memory Stick Micro media slot kills it. M2 is the Minidisc/UMD of the cellphone world.. lame lame lame.

The N73 however has a larger display and offers a SDmini slot; 2GB SDmini costs $52 at newegg.

Plus the N73 is a smartphone.

Does anyone have anything more specific for a release date than "July 2006"? Obviously if it's passed the FCC it could be any time, but I really need a new phone and waiting is getting harder and harder.

Someone may want to alert Nokia USA's perpetually late website:
