Having had both i'd definately say neither.
The N73 has been riddled with bugs. Nearly all networks have at some point stopped selling them to try and fix the bugs.
N80 is a better phone but signal sensitivity is poor and battery is pretty shocking.
I'm a Nokia fan but both of these have been way off the quality Nokia have managed in the past.
Currently K800/P990 offer much better value for money IMHO.

Yes... dats possible
A BL-6c battery wud do...
But d back cover may not close properly. So u may need to mod d cover a bit, if so...
I haven't don it or seen any1 doin it on an N80 though... I myself hav don moddin my Moto's battery wit Nokia bat... d backup time has doubled!!

I am not sure how old a version on the N73 you had was and yes the Network branded versions have had a lot of problems. But my Sim free unbranded N73 never crashed or lagged at anything bar opening the Gallery and there wasn't any problems with the camera either.
Yes SanDisk cards are good if not the best IMO and definitely my card brand of choice.

Ya... SanDisk is one of d best... Don 4get dat N73 sports a 3MP clicker. So buy the highest possible capacity card...
@Doggmann
is ur N73 MusicEdition or d norm one. I'd heard dat ME's firmware is quite unstable. Is it true? |

I did upgrade the software but then the new software didnt allow me to use the phone in online mode, it kept going into offline mode, sent in in again... then just left it.

regards the screens on the n73(240x320 pixels)/////n80(352x416 pixels) the n73 is bigger screen ...but the n80 has nearly double the pixels. soooo either big screen good qual or smaller screen higher qual (the n80 screen is also used in nokia e60)
hope this helps ur choosin. |

I prefer the N73 its got the better camera a massive display better build quailty and a faster processor plus better battery though i still think all Nokia smart phones battery life is not great but its still better than N80.
