This phone just out this week here in Singapore.
SHould be reaching philippines shores in a few days time.
Its selling around $700+ with no contract. Telcos offering it at around $88 with $200 trade-in on a 2year contract.
price-wise thats around 23k pesos.
what's exciting?
1. Naviwheel d-pad
- works like a scroll wheel. Can be used on phonebook, menus, media player, gallery, etc just like an iPod
2. Built in FM transmitter
- should be able to play fm with no headset (stil need to confirm on this)
3. Symbian Release S60 v3.2
-should have some new offerings/improvements on the Service Pack 2
4. 3mp cam, wifi, and built in GPS
5. 3.5mm audio jack. Also note the location of the Stereo Speaker
Not so exciting?
1. New keypad
- almost like the n82 but the keys are all bunched together. No space in between.
2. Camera could have been 5mp and xenon flash. No protection cover for the cam as well.
This is a good N73 successor.
