Same here, cant believe this thread is still going.
As I said in this thread, just sick with whatever model you have, i.e Nokia, SE and get whatever phone you need it for, i.e smartphone for more business minded individuals (N73), basic operations for those who like to keep things simple (K800).
This whole phenomena is a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a government agenda.

Yes..i think we should...
In the end, it's down to preference...you either want a smartphone or you don't. Both handsets are excellent and which ever you choose you will be happy with. |

Good evening dear "combatants" Donīt bash me now but i feel like i would like to say something also before this thread closes (and you may be to tired of this thread to even bother to read , less, comment on what i say.
Off course itīs a matter of taste in what you like. Both phones are excellent and as have been said earlier: are aimed to more or less different segment of buyers/users.
This is ONE personīs point of view:
I wanted a phone with a better camera than my wonderful W800i. So i looked at the K800 and the N73. I read and studied photo threads about them and pondered a lot. But since i read about the sound problem with K800 mp3-player(maybe has been sorted out now and never was a big problem) and was curious on the capabilities of symbians i choosed the N73. I am quite satisfied with it actually. My N73 is not slow at all. No bugs or hangups to speak of.
The joystick isnīt to my liking- much to stiff/short and you sometimes accitentially push it and end up some where you didnīt want to go in the menu  The buttons are a little bit to small(but it doesnīt bother me much)
I would like to have just a tad more volume on the mp3-player. I havenīt found the possibility to scroll through and download files on your , via bluetooth, connected computer (you can do that with the SE phones with the billionton bluetooth thingy when you have the accompanied software installed) Anybody now if i missed something because i canīt find that feature in the N73? Please advice!
The bluetooth is a bit unstable. But they will, hopefulle, fix this in the new firmware coming up now.
And then the "core":
I find when i look at photos on the internet (and iīve been checking a lot of them) and when testing my own N73 camera ,that the K800 often takes bleached and lifeless photos(not always) While the N73 sometimes, and maybe not so often, exaggerates the colours.
So in my humble opinion the both cameras sometimes takes (in two different ways) unrealistic photos. But i feel that the N73 takes sharper pictures- no matter what the cause is that make my eyes feel that- technical or otherwise.
But in close up/macro the K800 might be better(for now) because the N73 has a problem with taking photos that consists of a lot of purple colores and sometimes also red colors. And of course the K800 outshines the N73 when taking pictures indoors( iīm not so sure about outdoors) in poor light conditions. But for having only a led light the N73 does a good job! I have so far never encountered the "purple haze" problem indoors. Outdoors you can get around this problem by using night mode- sure you have to have a steady hand or a tripod. And the problem doesnīt appear allt the time.
But hey, the N73 has itīs first major firmware up just now so i hope we will see some improvements! If they can fixe the purple haze problem and dampen the, sometimes occouring, colour exaggeration then we will have a mega phone-camera!
As it stands for now i think that the K800 camera beats the N73 with one or maybe just half a notch.
Still they are diffent type of phones. One must remember that.
And...guys, isnīt it nice that we do have the possibility to choose? The possibilty to vary?
Peace..out

mib1800.. you surely is good at taking out ppl's point ya? "it produce thousands times better quality" is not a complete statement you know, i said "K800 can be connected to 5.1 logitech speakers, which speakers can produce 1000 times better quality than N73 and K800 speakers, and you connect your K800 through 3,5 mm jack on the W800 earphone. Clear?
Well, i have compared it myself, even if it is 20% bigger, it doesn't differ that much, and at least i got the fact right that K800 screen size is DEFINITELY as big as D600 (you leave this point out as well)
You said that K800 has stereo speakers is something can be made out of nothing.. you surely do not have K800 with you so you don't have not even a tiny bit of idea about it. It does have and as i told you before, it uses the speakers above the screen (the one that has tiny camera on it). And i didn't say that it produce a better quality, i said it becomes weird, so i dun use the stereo speakers (the stereo widening effect).
Pls pls pls, if you want to fight back, give a COMPLETE QUOTE.
What symbian apps do you use anyway? i use dictionary and java apps already has dictionary apps as good as symbian (oxford). I think everything else is just as crap.
sloopjohnB, if you really read carefully, i dun fight back with i prefer this or that... have a little read through, i know its long. take for example, the point i mention above, does that has anything to do with preference? it is an ability you know, of what the phone can do.

Saying java apps are as good as symbian apps or calling symbian apps crap is not an ability, its simple personal preference and may I add also rude and kinda ignorant. How can u know all the symbian apps that everybody uses? Are there really java equivalents to all symbian apps? I doubt that. The īfactī is that symbian apps are more advanced than java apps due to software or even hardware reasons. Thats why for example symbian games are more complex than java games and symbian browsers are also more complex. Some people may be happy with only java but that doesnt disqualify symbian. Symbian is what  should be doing now with their mid-end phones like K800. Sticking with java is sticking with older tech. I bet most k800 owners would be happy if made it symbian, they might not even use all symbian apps but they would still have the possibility of using them and theyd have paid high bucks on a new phone that runs better apps instead of the old java ones that even my w800 can play. The truth is most people dont know what they want until u show it to them, and iīm not the one who said that. |

oh.. I see. What's the relevance? I believe you also can get a external jack adapter for N73 giving you the same capability to output to external sound system.

Symbian gives the N73 a much more powerful platform. It allows 3rd party developers deploy much more advance apps which is not possible on the java. You just think everything else is crap because you have no idea what kind of Symbian apps are out there. You should check out what symbian apps are available in handango.com or allaboutsymbian.com before making laughable statement. I give you some examples of Symbian apps which have no java equivalent:-
1. Advanced Call Management. In-phone answering machine with IVR (i.e. caller is prompted to select options during call). Also black/white list of phone numbers can be set up to filter calls. And schedule can be setup when different actions are perfomed. E.g. During sleeping hours you can set all phone calls (except those in white-list) to in-phone answering machine. During meeting, you can tell the caller to press a key to ring your phone if it is very urgent otherwise the default in-phone answering machine will kick in.
2. Advanced Profiles (integrated with calendar) - Phone automatically turn on/off profile based on predefined keywords, start and end time in calendar entries. Additionally phone can auotmatically perform additional actions when a profile is changed like changing theme, run an application, turn on/off bluetooth, change hotkeys mapping etc. E.g. set a meeting entry in calendar and phone will automatically turn on "meeting" profile at specified time. Additionally the phone theme is changed and the in-phone answering machine/IVR app is turned on. At end of meeting, phone revert back to last profile/theme and close the app.
3. SMS scheduler - you can c=preschedule when sms are automatically sent. Or you can assign hotkeys to a predefined sms. Sending a sms is just a one keypress.
4. Fax app- phone can act as a fax machine to send and receive fax.
5. Cell-based "gps" (dont need gps receiver). By recording cell-station locations info, phone can automatically perform actions like send sms, change profile, etc based on which cell-station the phone is currently connected to. E.g. when picking up someone, the phone will automatically send sms to that person when you are near the pickup point. Or when you step into your office phone automatically turn on your bluetooth. Or you enter a hospital zone phone switch to offline and revert to previous profile once you leave the hospital

@Sesukaka In one of you earlier posts you said 'k800i has 3g and it does not need edge'. Unfortunately this is not quite true. Ofcourse the N73 has 3G too, but even on my N70 (has got them both) I certainly prefere EDGE over 3G. Actually I would take the good old Gprs over 3G when accessing the net from my cell. Actualy 3G is switched off altogether on my cell. Short range, unreliable and battery killing - to name but 3 disadvantages. I hope 3.5G will do justice to the new tech, but that I would't know until may next year if I will get me the N95 :D

Could someone tell me which is better - the Xbox 360 or the PS3?
Get the picture? I have owned both phones and like both phones. Currently I have an N73 because it fulfills my business needs more than the K800. However, the K800 is better if all you want is to answer calls and take pictures.
