We can't say Reuters hasn't ever been on the wrong end of a rumor before, but they do add a bit more
legitimacy than some anonymous forum poster that talks in leetspeak. The dirt is that Nokia is all set to release that
recently leaked
N73 smartphone, along with a
few other "multimedia phones" (
N93 anyone?) to sweeten
the deal. It's all supposed to go down next week in Berlin, according to "sources close to the company." April
25th seems to be the target, but the buzz doesn't sound good for the phones size-wise, which are reportedly moving
towards more "realistic" sizes, but aren't going for broke in the slim arena, which Nokia seems to see as a
bit of a fad. Sure, the RAZR might've sold a few units, but Nokia has managed to keep their margins up, and the N70 of
theirs managed to pull down 10 percent of the 3G market all by its lonesome.

Nokia certainly are knocking smartphones at the frightening rate - they're only just released the N80, N91, E60 and friends!
There's almost too many to choose from. :)
Forgive my noobness, but I forgot whether this phone will be tri or quad band... can someone help me out with that?
