Nokia N73, PC Suite and how to defrag...
4 of 5 found this helpful I have the Nokia N73 from O2, it’s compact, and slightly chunky; because of that it doesn't feel flimsy like some of the slimmer phones, this phone just feels very well made, the reason I say this is because I have dropped this phone in excess of 15 times and the only problem I have is a scuffed casing.
The menu system is still the best, Nokia are the easiest phones to navigate, the icons are clear and the menus are logical. There are a few times when I have been hunting for a particular item in a menu but overall I would give the menu system an 8.5/10
The camera is superb, and at 3meg the images are clear and sharp, the colour rendition is spot on too. As with all phone cameras the image fails badly in poor light and the flash whites out close things, one more thing I found great was, I very rarely get a blurred image, with or without flash. Once the image is taken, writing the highest res image takes about 3-4 seconds, that's a bit slow but hey it’s a phone not a camera.
Connectivity is easy with the latest Nokia suite (v6.85.14.1). The cable to attach the phone from the PC is a bit flaky, it connects 99% of the time, but sometimes if I put the phone down and knock the cable it drops the connection and I have to reconnect the cable to start the connection again. The options within the Nokia suite are great, installing programs, transferring music and images, sending txt and multimedia txt, email, backing up, contacts and file managing are all simple...
But I have gripes...
Gripe 1: I think the software should be able to automatically detect a message coming in and refresh the list accordingly when connected to the PC. Refreshing the list of messages is slow at approx 14 seconds. One should also have the option not to check for multimedia txt as this seems to slow the process down and is the major reason for the 14 seconds.
Gripe 2: Another flaw in the Nokia suite is the option to download images and what happens to the ones on the phone. Example: I have TOMTOM on my SD card, bear this in mind ok! I want to download some images, I can select to download them but if I choose to delete the images from the phone after downloading it will delete ALL images on the phone... That is bad, very bad. I had the shock of my life when I did this first time, why? Because it deleted the images from TOMTOM too, so, if you don't want to delete ALL your images you will have to go into 'File Manager' and manually delete them.
Gripe 3: This brings me to my third gripe with Nokia suite. I cannot view the images in Thumbnail view so I haven't a clue what I'm deleting without a lot of messing around. Why put a great camera on a great phone then give you software to download the great images 'that you cannot view' I don't know why they would omit such a feature but I see it as a major flaw in an otherwise great program.
Apart from those gripes I still like Nokia suite and the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages, but if they sorted my gripes, it would be much better.
A tip: Defragging a Nokia N73 is very easy: Connect the cable Choose the 'Mass Storage' Option Go to my computer, right click on the Nokia and choose properties, choose the tools tab and click on Defragment Now... after its finished defragging your phone will be a lot more lively.
Oh and making calls is very easy too, unfortunately I can’t do any more of a review due to the limited amount of characters.

An Investment in good photography
Excellent workhorse flash, great controls, very well built, don't buy cheap copies, you won't save money nor will you get the same performance so don't buy a liability buy an asset. This flash is an investment in good photography.
Bang for Buck it's worth every penny.

Foxconn Winfast NF4SK8AA-8EKRS Motherboard
3 of 3 found this helpful I bought this motherboard from ebuyer after my DFI just stopped working. I wanted a cheap board to see if I'd damaged my CPU etc. This board is well spec'd for the price, £45 when I bought it. Because it was NF4 based I was hoping it would setup easily and not mess XP Pro up; I haven't gone to Vista yet way too buggy, anyway I wasn't disappointed.
Once everything was attached, I booted the system up and was disturbed to see the cpu fan stop spinning, I later found out this is due a setting in the bios that; you'll be glad to know, can be disabled. Basically the setting tells the system that until the CPU reaches a certain temp don't use the fan, I found this very odd and potentially a bit dangerous on the CPU. The setting: 'Smart Fan 2 temperature' under the 'PC health Status' section, is the one that should be disabled. other than that, the motherboard is a solid cheap board with better than average specs. see here for these details:
