The Nokia N73 is a smartphone announced by Nokia on 25 April 2006, as part of the Nseries. It features a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera. It runs on Symbian v9.1 (S60 3rd Edition).
The N73 succeeded the N70 and packed in numerous multimedia features. It became one of the top selling Nseries device during 2006 and 2007, and was also the first smartphone in developing markets to gain major sales.
In common with other Nokia 'Nseries' and 'Eseries' phones of its time (late 2006), the N73 comes loaded with many software applications, including contacts, messaging, picture and video galleries, a music player, a Visual FM Radio, RealPlayer, an IM client, a browser, a full web browser based on KHTML/WebKit, a Microsoft Office document viewer, a PDF viewer, an Adobe Flash Lite viewer and some games.
The majority of these applications support background execution; for example, one may listen to music while browsing the Internet, and then may switch to write a text message or e-mail, without having to close any applications. With the exception of newer Sony Ericsson phones like K550 and W610, smartphones' typically cannot do this or can do it in only a very limited way; for example, only the music player can run in the background.
Java applications as well as Symbian (S60 release 3) applications can be installed to or removed from the phone by the user, using either the Nokia PC Suite software, which is included with the phone, or the installer application on the phone itself.
