There were rumors that T-Mobile would be releasing a device similar to the Nokia E72 called the E73 Mode, but now it is finally official. The Nokia E73 Mode is almost exactly the same as the E72, except for a couple of specifications customized for T-Mobile. The E73 Mode features a 2.4 inch non-touchscreen display, a five-way scroll key, an optical trackpad, a full QWERTY keypad, and an accelerometer. It seems kind of strange that a non-touchscreen phone might have an accelerometer, but it is used for gaming and screen rotation. The E73 Mode also has a 5 MP camera with autofocus and flash, a microSD card slot (included is a 4 GB card), WiFi, A-GPS, and a video call camera on the front of the phone. One of the things on the E73 Mode that has been customized for T-Mobile is the 3G connectivity. The phone has one of the fastest 3G speeds of any T-Mobile phone at HSDPA 10.2 Mbps and HSUPA 2.0 Mbps. Some of the other more minor features are a digital compass, 250 MB of built in memory, Symbian 9.3, and Bluetooth 2.0. As for the battery, the E73 Mode has a 1500 mAh battery capable of delivering up to 16 days of standby time on 2G and 22 days on 3G. On the software side, the Nokia E73 Mode has Nokia’s Ovi Maps navigation software with free turn-by-turn navigation and T-Mobile’s uma calling feature which allows you to make voice calls via WiFi. The phone has pretty much all the features you could want, and it is almost exactly the same as the Nokia E72. The Nokia E73 Mode will be available on June 16 for $70 with a two year contract.
