The quality of camera phones has come a long way since their inception, and we think it's fair to say that Nokia has been one of the manufacturers leading the charge. The company's entire N series of "multimedia computers" is proof, as they offer high-quality lenses and vast imaging features. The latest model we've seen is the Nokia N73. As the successor to the N70, the N73 ups the ante with an excellent 3.2-megapixel camera/camcorder and more internal memory. It also offers music playback, integrated Bluetooth, and a number of productivity tools based on the Symbian OS platform. Unfortunately, our initial love faded somewhat as the N73 suffered from sluggish performance in our tests--nothing show-stopping but brief delays here and there added up to some Sony Ericsson K800i Cyber Shot. As of this writing, no U.S. carriers offer the Nokia N73, so you will have to pay a hefty $600 or so for an unlocked version of the phone.
