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

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...

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! |

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 |

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.
