Review: Nokia E73 Mode

Form Basics Extras Wrap-Up Comments 4

Menus Calls/Contacts Messaging Social Networking

The E73 attempts to fool you into thinking that there are Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace apps on board. Instead, the E73 offers only links to the mobile web versions of each of these three services. That's not cool. The mobile web version of Facebook that is rendered on the E73's browser is actually fairly decent, but it doesn't compare to stand-alone apps such as those created for the iPhone or Android.

There are alternatives, but you have to know about them. Some of the native Twitter apps worth looking at include Gravity, Twittix, TweetS60, and Fring. These get the job done, each with its own sense of style.

Social networking is another area where S60 falls flat compared to many alternate platforms.
