HI

What I want to moan about is the really slow software that controls the n73 camera.
I was taking pictures of my son whos under 2. And as most people know they do not stay still for very long.

Nokia have tacked on a 3.2 mega pixel camera only to let the side down by been crap at taking pictures. And mine is really slow software. from sliding back the cover to been able to take first photo it takes 4 seconds to get the camera to view the area then another 3 seconds to take the first picture.

I think i know why. as most people get camera phones for free. The real camera makers would not get any sales due to the free cameras nokia do ( well networks pay for but you know what i mean ).

its about as slow at starting as my old Fuji DX-10. and that is slow due to flash charging etc.

So it may have 3.2 mega pixels and focusing system etc, but and the end on the day its still crap.

I'm glad i did not have to pay for the camera. But if this had been a Real Camera it would be returned ASAP.

Remember if you reply. I'm only moaning as its 5:30am and i cannot sleep lol
and it is crap.
I do feel this even if they slap a 5 mega pixel camera on and its a CCD sensor. unless they team up with a camera maker so the camera maker does not loose out you will never be able to take a fast picture with any camera phone.

Thats better got it off my chest now :D
And yes it a free phone but thats not the point. Some People do pay for the Mobile

True its not as fast as say the K800 but I find that pictures taken in daylight are more vivid in colour balance.

These days you have to compromise when shopping around for a camera phone as there isnt a perfect whole phone.
