NOKIA N73 ONE BLACK MUSIC EDITION
The Nokia N73 is a smartphone by Nokia officially described as a "multimedia computer". r Nokia 'N-series' and 'E-Series' 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 WAP browser, a full web browser based on KHTML/Webkit, a Microsoft Office document viewer, a PDF 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, non '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. The feature which most distinguishes the N73 from other 'N'- or 'E'-series Nokia mobile phones is the 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera. The N73 does not support Wi-Fi.
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. Notably, Nokia supports firmware upgrades to the N73 to be made by the user via a module in Nokia PC Suite. Since the N73 supports access via Bluetooth and USB Mass Storage (amongst other methods), it is possible to transfer large collections of files to and from it using any computer that also supports either Bluetooth or mass storage via USB (e.g. Microsoft Windows, Linux; Mac OS X etc.). The N73 uses a database system for the supplied 'Gallery' applications (which permanently run in the background, in order to reduce seek and operation times) and again these databases can be updated locally on the device itself. This means that supported image, video and audio files can be placed almost anywhere in the file system and browsed easily, and in the case of MP3 audio files, by ID3 tag (e.g. 'album'; 'artist' etc.).

The Nokia N73 Music Edition
MUSIC EDITION
In addition to the basic N73, Nokia subsequently released the N73 'Music Edition'. It has technically the same hardware as the N73, but the 'multimedia' button on the keypad has been replaced with a button that starts the music player. The Music Edition also includes a 2GB memory card and the phone is completely black. The Music player on the Music Edition supports Album art and visualisations, which that on the regular N73 does not. It also has an improved control interface where 'play', 'pause', 'stop', 'next' and 'previous' may all be selected directly by simply pushing the phone joystick in the appropriate direction rather than having to scroll through on-screen buttons for these controls and then select them as on the ordinary N73. Music Edition's music player is included in the basic N73's current firmware.
However, both versions of the N73 appear to be being changed to have the same software, making them the exact same phone - the V4.0735.3.0.2 dated (01-09-2007) updates the standard N73's Music Player to the same as the N73ME's enhanced Music Player detailed above. Also, during recent UK Nokia poster campaigns, the black (ME) version of the phone was advertised without the term 'Music Edition', and the O2 UK shop sell the N73 in both Silver/Plum and Black, with the Black version having the multimedia button.

The Music Edition firmware
The Music Edition firmware (retro-fittable to standard N73's by some accounts) has as its centre piece a brand new version of Music player, complete with two Windows-style visualisations ('Oscilloscope' and 'Spectrum'), full support for Album Art (especially when syncing across from Windows Media Player) plus optional 'stereo widening' and 'loudness'. Ultimately these are all frills, but when you're aiming at the consumer it pays to tick all the boxes, I guess.
Rounding off the Music Edition are a couple of new themes, 'Waveform' and 'Stave'. Again, ultimately more frills and frippery, but combined with the black case, 'Waveform' at least looks pretty darned cool and gives off the right sort of vibe. (The less said about the awful green, default theme, 'Stave' the better...)
Despite my few marketing digs above, the facelift that is the Music Edition is definitely worthwhile overall. It reinforces another core capability of modern smartphones in a fairly friendly and very cool way - and the fact that it does it to a device which was arguably near the top of a different class of phone - camera phones - means that Nokia has made this doubly attractive.

Music/Internet Edition
As with each 'Music/Internet Edition' that Nokia produces, the end result is mainly an exercise in marketing, at least in that those who bought the original device certainly don't need to upgrade, since their hardware can almost certainly be used for the same purposes. But full credit to Nokia for making the extra effort to get across to consumers that you can (shock horror) listen to stereo music on their S60 smartphones.
In the N73's case, it's a bit of a double whammy, since it's already known for being something of a supreme camera phone. Camera AND music? Must sound pretty tempting to someone on the High Street.
But what has actually been added? After all, the original N73 was a fairly complete package. The hardware had its limitations, in the tiny keypad and the camera which couldn't handle very bright light conditions, and the hardware here's identical. What's different is the music software, a key assignment and the accessories shipped in the box.
Oh yes, and it's black. Music biz black and, in my opinion the best looking N73 yet. And it's not as obvious now that it's all plastic.
The key assignment mentioned above and pictured on the right is that of making the previous 'Media' key now go straight to Music player. I never liked the Media key and I think this is a definite improvement. Having only the single dedicated music key isn't as flexible as on some other devices, for example the HTC STRTrK and Nokia's own N75, N91 and 6290, not to mention the imminent N95, but at least any music function is now only two keypresses away at most.
Staying with hardware for a moment, the main changes for the N73 Music Edition are the welcome addition of a 2GB miniSD card (enough for around 30 CDs worth of music) and the superior AD-41 adapter/stereo headset. This has a standard 3.5mm stereo connector embedded in its control unit, meaning that you can plug in your own in-ear headset rather than having to stick with the slightly cheaper Nokia earbuds.
