Finally, my revived N73 ME

My Nokia N73 Music Edition is more than a month old and is now clad in a shiny white car-paint-like front cover (shedding its original black skin that's cracked from my oh-so-careful use). I found the original piece from Nokia's Tomas Morato store at a not-so-friendly price of PHP 655.

Went there an hour before closing and most of the customers are smartphone users just like me. The usual complaints would be about short-charged batteries, weak or no signal, camera malfunction, and the more common housing problems.

That is like a red flag waving a clear message to me - caveat emptor - no more Nokia.
