eerrmm.. N73 is a symbian thats for sure.. you can do more with a symbian...
K800 has some bugs as of now... but rest assure you can update in the near future.. N73 will stay that way... i think its running on S60 ver. 3
Posted by vicelord
thanks for the replies and link........sorry if this is a dupilcate......
they are almost the same in every aspect, the deciding factor will be the camera and its image quality, this will eventually decide which of the two will emerge victorious ......do you think K800 is better because of the Cybershot technology or N73 has an edge because of the Carl Zeiss optics...

i think the k800 has the better cam, well according to some people, not video though.
And if you NEED symbian, n73 is for you. As for me i got k800, i love it...

that's what i did @ ads i got my k800i....i hope she do the same

camera-picture-quality ... Ill go for the N73.

@vicelord
dude since youve already got a K800, then its your choice of java-phone over a symbian.. good thing about the K800 is the real xenon light. so youve got there a full-fledged digicam at your disposal... yes the pics arises alot of questions at this stage.. but this can be corrected by firmware upgrades...
N73 on the otherhand is good having carl ziess lens and autofocus. again the lack of backup-light in low light conditions will definitely drag down its performance. yes it can shoot good in lowlight.. that is.. on close focus situations... but if the subject is a meter or two away... then the problem starts.
tho these discussions is cam related... these two phones have alot to offer within their respective fields.. namely symbian and java-base.
chill

tell him to get N73? Then you both can meet one day to try out which one is good..If he thinks N73 is for him good. If not, gotta get it changed fast ^^ Nothing beats your real hands on and what you will need in a phone ^^

Go get the N73. I can find NOTHING that K800 can do better than N73 (except for night shots and maybe battery life). N73 outclass K800 in almost everything. Taking into a/c N73 mini-sd format which is less than 1/2 the price of K800 m2 card, the price difference of both phones is minimal (in Asia)
Without taking into considerations thousands 3rd party add-on Symbian apps, N73 already outshines K800 just based on only out-of-box functionality given as follows:-
(Pls dont mind as I just copy the following from N70vsK800 thread which is also applicable here)
-Much much better video recording (K800 video record is really crap)
- Much bigger physical screen size (N73 is 40% bigger than K800)
- much better PIMs like unlimited phonebook, calendar and of course the very useful active today screen.
- independent voice dialing. K800 is still using voice tags.
- better blog system which automatic log your activities like sms, image/video taking, notes & calendar entries and later allow you to sync to your PC/blog. K800 blog is so rudimentary compared to this.
- Nokia mobile-search - customised yellow pages capability. K800 dont have this.
- Yahoo Go and Google map applications pre-installed (may vary by region)
- PTT and EDGE support (K800 dont have this)
- video streaming via realplayer (K800 dont have this)
- much better multi-tasking (you can have any apps opened instead being restricted to java in K800)
- much better document handling capability (office docs, flash, pdf, web browser). K800 dont even come close.
- more jazzy gallery/image viewer (slideshow with music) and the movie editor thing.
- better profile system incl. going to offline mode without rebooting.
- much better theme system - you can change most of the UI unlike K800 which is restricted to certain aspect like wallpaper.
- unlimited sms storage
- better ergonomics (K800 has that ugly looking camera hump)

Ehh mib, what about spped o k800i? And hte multitasking, You were told it's better than N73, but You still resist to accept this. Camera is MUCH better on k800i, im talking about quality and funcionality. Quality of mp3 is better on k800i. Hell, and You can update firmware in home, no need to send phone to Noka service.
I respekt Nokia, because Nokia can make really good all-round phone, but SE beats it by QUALITY. That's my opinon.

how many people on this thread have used both the K800i and N73 for at least 2 or 3 weeks? Just tryin to find out if any of this information is based on knowledge gained usin the handset or just from reading reviews or tech sheets?
I've used both the K800i and the N73 for about 3 weeks a piece an i have chosen to stick with the N73 for the following reasons:
* The Camera is much much better in all conditions but lowlight (to be honest i only use its cam for quick snaps, i use ma 9.0Mp SLR for good pics!)
* The camera options are much more professional.. things like being able to change ISO levels for one!
* Multi Tasking on the N73 is much much better... once setup right i've had bout 3 or 4 progs runnin an no stutterin or slow down thats noticable!
* When i used the K800i i got about 2 days max out of the battery (i am a very heavy user) but with ma N73 i'm gettin about 4-5 days which am happy with!
* The screen is sooooooooooo huge an makes everything look amazin!
* I just bought a 2Gb Mini SD card for 35GBP can sonys M2 match that for price and size?
* I'm using Quick Office to edit word documents and excel spreadsheets... can k800i users do that?
* I know i cant update firmware at home but to be honest i have no need as i havent found any probs with using the phone yet... and wen i do i'll take it down the road (a 15min walk) to my local Nokia Service Centre for repair or take it to work an have it repaired lol.
Jus to get this clear i aint a Nokia fan boy in fact i was 100% SE before the K800i and then it went faulty an i realised that am bored and annoyed that SE can release crippled phones with buggy firmware and as long as its got a SUPER feature everyone will buy it... The K800i was released too early and this was due to Nokia about to release the N73 trust me....
Well thats my 2 pennys worth... I'd go for the N73 if i was you.... u wont be upset with the choice!
Posted by solja786
how about one word for the K800: Simpler
(at least for a person who doesn't need PTT, very complicated PIM, very complicated and slower menus (they mayb faster then the older s.60s but they r still slow)
Nokias S.60 are good but if u dont need all these features wats the use.. so if ur sibling doesnt need so many things jus get the k800..
and dont forget the random crashes etc. on the nokias.
Just my opinion..no offence to anybody
Posted by kristianm
IMO, I find the N73 a more attractive phone (feature-wise) than K800i.
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/phones/Nokia-N73.htm
I like bright LEDs as flash on a phone more than a Xenon flash. With a phone with just LED light (like K750), I could buy a Xenon flash accessory if I really wanted a better camera flash. But I can't do that with a Xenon-flash equipped phone (as there aren't any 'flashlight' accessories for phones around), can I?
Hmmm, wait, does Nokia have a xenon flash accessory for its phones?
- - -
Also, I fear the WSOD problems that newer SE phones (since W550i) are very prone to having.

And hte multitasking, You were told it's better than N73, but You still resist to accept this.
Are you trying to be hilarious or what? You must r refering to foolhardy attempt by a K800 fan who tried to twist the accepted fact by saying K800 has a better multi-tasking system than N73. It is like saying K800 is better at multi-tasking than P990.
Not sure why some people seems so eager to propagate and defend a futile and untenable statement.

I agree! Stupid comparisson!!

thanks for all your feedbacks regarding the topic.....
i think i'll just give her my k800i then get the n73 for myself lol )
@voda
does the n73 support 2g og mini sd??? that would be great.....i think the k800i only supports 1g...
keep the discussion coming mates...........
Posted by mib1800
n73 supports 2Gb mini-SD. And 4gb ones are coming.
And mini-SD price (per mb) is less than the half price of m2 card. So that is another incentive to buy N73.
Posted by crude75
Tell her to Go for the n73, thats the phone i want but don't have the cash (still in high school) so i will have to downgrade my choice to a nokia 3250, runs on the same symbian.

now you're just being desperate in defending the K800. i never used the Nokia but slower menu? is 1-2 seconds going to make a huge difference? I haven't read anywhere about the "random crashes". it's pretty obvious something caused it like overload of too many apps. "Nokias S.60 are good but if u dont need all these features wats the use.. so if ur sibling doesnt need so many things jus get the k800.." people buy the phone BECAUSE they want to use the features. and also, expanding memory is much cheaper as stated by other people. if people didn't need so many features they wouldn't even consider the K800 either and would choose a simpler phone.

Hi mates......
She's going to get the N73, at least I can now personally tests the two phones side by side.........

I find this an odd comparison. The N73 is a smartphone for a start, and Series 60 is still slow (screen drawing and other menu navigation). It's not terrible, but it's not Series 40 either.
The K800 isn't a smartphone and doesn't really multitask (it sort of does, but even the built in web browser can't be minimised, or at least not on the current firmware). However, while it's not smart - it's hardly lacking in functionality. The Email reader is arguably superior to the built in S60 one (but Profimail solves that), the RSS reader in the web browser is excellent, the actual web browser is superior to the Nokia/Safari one if you want fast rendering over a 'as the designer intended' view with the mini map feature. And, also, why have a separate WWW and WAP browser? You can schedule email and RSS better, and the K800 also blogs very well.
The picture editor, and in general, picture viewing on the K800 is better than the gallery feature on the N73 (and any S60 model). Video on the K800 is terrible, but playback is good on other content.
File management and file handling is more stable on the K800. The USB modem feature is new, and allows instant connection of a laptop to the net without having to run special software. It works well as a USB flash drive, although the N73 does this well too (but seems to crash both Mac's and PC's when you click on files/folders too quickly). Possibly a firmware issue, but updating that is a real PITA because you can't do it at home and must instead go to a service centre.
It's swings and roundabouts, but the K800 takes the superior photos. With the flash, you've got a good camera (but, for gods sake, use the right mode instead of auto when using the flash!) and BestPic is awesome. It takes a long time to even activate the camera on the N73, and the screen resolution is identical so I can't quite see why having a larger screen with chunkier pixels is somehow a good thing!
I'm trying to be impartial (I have both phones side by side here) and if I'm sounding too pro-SE then I will try and balance it by pointing out the fact that you can do so much more on the N73 with add-on applications. If you want this, or need this, there's no contest (you can, for example, use the Bluetooth keyboard to compose documents or emails) but for photography, music, speed and simplicity the K800 is the best phone on sale at the moment.

I find it weird how Nokia's using the 'Carl Zeiss' lens which is a Sony thing, while the K800i with the 'sony cybershot' brand doesn't use the Carl Zeiss lens. Wait Carl Zeiss IS a sony thing right?

The N73 is a DVBH phone!!
Far superior already with that feature...

just find the N73 much much better than the K800i i also have in my hands! It may be slower in the menu's than the K800i but the blogger and the camera (in good light) the sound (both on speakers, which are stereo coz it has two of them, and on headphones!) is superb and the choice of software for the nokia is far superior (which i know is because its a symbian)...
Just a more finished phone all in all...
Posted by kultissim
Are you still there? Can i ask you questions about it?
Posted by jmcomms
The N73 is NOT a DVB-H phone!
I did forget about the cool stereo speakers and surround effects. Maybe a bit of a gimmick, but good nonetheless. It's a shame the media player is so poor (the OS/firmware not helping, as it will quit the application if memory runs low - which does happen a lot even for relatively small things).
I feel it's unfair to make the comparison between these two models. The K800 is a self contained phone that is easy to use and does everything well.
The N73 has expandability and can be made to do a lot more, let down by a poorer quality, slower to activate, harder to customise, camera, combined with buggy firmware that will mean a trip to a service centre in due course.
I love S60 but feel the K800 is the phone most people will be comfortable with. We have many readers that don't appreciate the way Series 60 works like a computer (and as such you can swap tasks, and must consider available RAM to run lots of applications etc). Nokia could improve that by having a dedicated task switcher/memory management button on the phone, but that's a whole new discussion!

Hi all, there seems to be some confusion here and as i own and use a N73 which i chose over the K800 or M600.
It is S60 3rd edition so forget about slow menus and apps because that's just not true on this phone fact. The screen is the best i have experienced on any phone to date IMO, the media player is good for both music and video, plus the built in stereo speakers are actually good enough and loud enough to both listen to music and watch films with IMO, the web browser is better than Opera in just so many ways and lets not forget this actually is a fully functioning Symbian smartphone.
If you have a Yahoo account you get proper push e-mail no polling required as it hits your inbox it arrives on your phone and all you have to do is install it and enter your user name and password and it works. I haven't heard of any phones refusing to charge and being dead for no reason, they don't need firmware upgrades every other week and just for your information Nokia will shortly be offering OTA updates if and when they should become necessary.
It comes with an 1100 aMh battery which even with 3G and video gives excellent performance but if you devout SE fans can't be open minded enough to see whats in front of you that's your choice just don't slate a phone just because it's not a beloved SE because that's just plain stupid IMO. One last point no crashes or freezes yet either so i don't know if Mr Morris has a retail version or a network branded version but what he describes isn't the phone i use that's for sure.

The problem with K800 is the camera takes poorer picture in daylight compared to N73. And the camera is suppose to be a redeeming factor of K800.
I love S60 but feel the K800 is the phone most people will be comfortable with.
But is it enough to sway people to it when N73 has a long list of advantages (in terms of spec) over the K800. With the price (in Asia) of N73 only 40euro more than K800, the attractiveness of K800 evaporates very fast. Also you can get a 2Gb mini-SD for N73 at a cheaper price than a 1Gb M2 for K800.
Posted by jmcomms
The actual problem with the K800 is the auto settings. You can take better pictures in all conditions if you use the manual ones. Of course, the average Joe shouldn't have to do this!
Apart from the Xenon flash, there's also BestPic which is one of the coolest features I've ever used. The N73 doesn't have either of these.

Apart from the current lack of software, I should point out that 3rd Edition doesn't mean super fast menus. The N73 is still slow. The N93 that I've got in my hand right now has amazing video recording/playback, awesome 3D gaming, but STILL the menu rendering is slow. Now, I'd love for someone to explain why this is - but on the N93, it takes nearly 10 seconds for the screen to rotate the screen, redraw it and load the camera application for taking a photo. Switch to video and there's a further lag.

The K800 screen is reflective and better to use in daylight. As the K800 screen is smaller, with the same resolution, I am not sure the N73 is the best one to date. HOWEVER, I'm not saying it's bad. If you hadn't seen the K800 one, you'd be very happy indeed!
The web browser hasn't convinced me yet. Opera was groundbreaking when it (and NetFront etc) reformatted pages to fit the screen. Now we're moving back to the need to scroll around. Yes, it's fast (and the thumbnail images of previous pages is excellent) but I'd rather have Opera. Of course, you can get Opera and Opera Mini for the N73 so you're rather spoilt for choice.

The K800 supports push email, but I've not used it so can't comment. Certainly Series 60 is more geared for this.
As for the refusing to charge, I have to say that in our office we have THREE Nokia Series 60 phones (a 6630 and two N70s) that have died for no reason (won't charge, won't power up). And, our N80 and N93 both need firmware updates to fix the memory handling problems (the N80 being unable to zoom in on most images beyond 50% and other memory leak problems from built-in apps that suck up all the memory until a reset). It's a PITA that you can't do OTA updates and there's no plan to retrospectively introduce this on current models (I am not sure if the N73 or N93 are included in this).

The K800 only has 950mAh, but I'd hazard a guess that the power consumption on a Symbian handset is higher. However, you'll actually find BOTH handsets perform extremely well. If you disable 3G (as many do) then the improvement is staggering on each of them.
As for crashing, well I'm sorry to say that both phones will do this. My N93 likes to reboot periodically, but the big problem isn't crashing but running out of memory. Firmware updates usually fix this, but this is the price of getting either phone early.
I love Series 60 and have a drawer full of them (in many cases, more than one) from the 6600, 7610, 6630, N70, N80, N71, N73 and N93 - plus a Panasonic X70 and Sendo X. It's an excellent operating system, but like Series 80, Nokia always seems to underpower them and put in too little memory that causes problems. Take the 9300 and 9500 which are woefully underpowered, or the (non-Symbian) 710 Internet Tablet that could have been amazing if it had more memory and a decent processor.
The clear difference is that I get and test all handsets. I try to be impartial, but it's easy to look biased when you find one model better than another. This is the whole reason why I said the comparison was unfair in the first place!

Hi Jonathan,
i thought we were talking about the N73 here not N80,N93, and i did ask are these production and unbranded models?. You prefer Opera i prefer Safari no problem freedom of choice means just that. There really are no right or wrong choices it is up to the individual to decide which they prefer and what they will or will not put up with. As for their being a lack of software available bar a freeware autolock program i have no desire to add any additional software as my needs are more than covered, but experience has taught me to only ever install what i really need be it on phone or computer for a simpler trouble free life.
Marc
P.S. Although you like to mention the problems with the the N7O, N80, N93 and the fact they need upgrades compare that to the K800 WSD or not turning on at all, and the M600 how many updates is it now? and of course not forgetting the P990. But as i have said elsewhere before all of these things to me are unacceptable behaviour by the manufacturers and needs to stop.

They are all final, production models. However, they are SIM-free and unbranded.

Indeed. I think viewing a page on a single column view is better, if only for convenience.

This does, partly, prove the point that the K800 is a self-contained phone that most people will be happy with!!

I don't know how many updates the M600i has had, but we've not been sent a final P990i yet. Nokia have more S60 phones, so the firmware issue is a bigger problem with them than SE but it's only to be expected. The problem with smart phones is that you could wait forever to release a device if you want it to be 100% bug free - and by then, like the P990i, you begin to wonder if anyone will still want to buy it!
Posted by vicelord
mates....
I think the debate on which have the better camera is to have an actual print out of the pics......does anybody made this kind of comparison??? i'll try to have one and have it posted....
Posted by mib1800
there's also BestPic which is one of the coolest features I've ever used.
Does K800 has sequence mode like S60? i.e. you depress and hold the shutter and the camera continuous take full-resolution pictures (at 1 photo per second) until you release the shutter. imo, this is more useful than taking 9 pictures at one go.
The problem with K800 is that it has "upsized" from K750 and N73 has "downsized" from N70. I think both phones are now more or less the same size and weight. But N73 can squeeze in a screen which is 40% bigger in terms of area. And not to mentioned the much better video recording and stereo speakers. I just think K800 is not a good buy at all given that its SIM-free price is quite close to N73.

You think taking a sequence of photos after the event is better than having 4 taken BEFORE you pressed the button?

But the resolution is the same, so do you want bigger pixels or more pixels? If the N73 had a VGA screen, it would be different.

The video recording on the K800 is definitely a waste of time (surely they could have squeezed in the graphics co-processor that allowed the W900i to do good video?) but while the stereo speakers are good, they're not that good that you can use it as a portable sound system!
I won't get involved in pricing, as the mass market will buy the phone on a contract. For SIM-free, most phones are very similar in pricing, with the high prices reflecting demand early on. They soon fall, and quite rapidly.
Posted by mib1800

You are talking about an event that last 1-2 seconds and you want to capture the best picture (provided you can get your camera ready in time ).
I am thinking more of capturing every moment of an event (longer than 1-2 secs) by continuously snapping photos at 1 photo per sec for the duration of the event or as long as required.
Posted by vicelord
hiagain mates.......the stabilizer only works with video and not with photos....i think in the n73 it works on both......
i just hope that we could take more pics immediately one after the other instead of having to answer the options after each pic is taken
Posted by casperr
It is not true that K800i's camera is better than N73. I have used both and N73's pictures are almost always better than K800i, even when I have printed those pictures.
There is no comparison on this one, N73 wins in all aspects. The slight edge of K800's camera at night is not enough to say this is a better phone.
BTW, N73 is not a slow phone at all, I have used many phones including SE and Nokia and N73 is not slow at all, way way faster than N80.
The fact that it runs symbian OS, u can do much with it. K800i will eventually become a boring phone after a while, text, call, pictures and thats about it.

I dont want to start a war about these two phones, just which phoe is best for what I want to use it for. I currently use a LG Chocolate so thats my going out phone so i will be using this phone for uni mainly and other day-to-day stuff.

N73's camera doesnt do well in low light conditions, but its certainly in the same league as K800 in good light. N73 has very good video recording. Very nice to view them on the phone.
K800 has a small screen, 2.0inch diognal. N73 has a 2.4inch diognal, which is massive and is a pleasure to use.
N73 media player is easier to use, if you listen to a lot of songs, due to the search feature. It also categorises songs by albums, composer, generes which the K800 doesnt.
Always remember one thing, series 60 3rd edition is NOT slow and sluggish. I've been using my N71 for a month and it only hung up once.

The biggest Scandinavian tecnical magazine Tekniikan Maailma made a test between 3.2Mpix cameraphones. They gave 5 stars to K800i. And N73 got 4 stars. Also N93 got 5 stars in the test.

So they've only compared the cameras. What did they say about video recording? And how about EDGE connection?( not as slow as the outdated gprs and not as power hungry and fluctuating as 3G) And did they mention anything about 3-party software? My pc was useless when I got it from the shop! To compare a smart cell vs non smart is like comparing a Swiss army knife with a kitchen knife. Yes the later may be better at cutting bread but come on . . .
