But it's so sloooooow

I was looking forward to the N73 when it was first announced. However, having used one at work for a few weeks now since it was first released, I am sorely disappointed with it's lack of performance.

Try receiving an MMS or browsing a WAP site and the lack of grunt is painfully clear.

Obvious comparisons have to be made with the SE K800i - same screen, same 3.2MP camera, 3G, etc. but the Sony wipes the floor with the Nokia for day-to-day use. Menus are snappier, the camera starts up much quicker, the image browser is faster and the list goes on.

The K800i sits happily on my desk - the N73 has been very close to finding itself in the car park via the nearest window.
