What will the Nokia cost? K800 is actually really cheap, SEK 3950:- is what I'm paying for mine, on RELEASE day! I don't care about video, since I know I won't use it, but for those of you that it matters so dearly to, why not get a Nokia in the meantime?

Holy crap - that's $537US by today's rate!!! I sure hope Cingular picks it up and subsidises it so that I can afford it for under $300US, otherwise I might have to wait a lot longer to get it  |

It only just hit me as to how huge the display on the N73 when comparing it to the K800. Nevertheless, I think that 2 inch is ample size and I value finess over size anyday. It will interesting as to which one sells better.
And just to add. I don't think that the N73 will be THAT cheap. I mean the N70 is currently at more then that and I'm sure that at that price Nokia would be making a loss.

N73 and K790/K800 seem to have the same resolution. (240 X 320)
How could the screen on the N73 be larger since both have the same pixel count? |

same way both 17" and 19" LCD displays have the same resolution - 1280x1024, the bigger screen has fatter pixels therefore they MIGHT appear more grainy. |

That's cheap IMO, usually SE high-end phones are more like 6000 SEK on release date! I remember paying 6300 SEK for the T28i =) But sure, it will be even cheaper with a subscription, plus the handset might be different priced in the US.

I paid 6100 SEK for my T28. =)
So 3990 SEK for the K800 sounds pretty nice.

I think the most I've ever paid for a phone is $300. I just can't see the point in it if it costs more. Normally I either get it from my service provider (Cingular) with heavy discount for 1-2 year contract, or buy it 4-6 months after relase for about 1/2 of the initial release price. |

first of all, how do you know that SE will later release a Handycam phone? do you have actual info or just rumors?
and also, i would agree with arj on the issue of video quality, I don't care if it says cybershot on the phone, I don't want the phone I'll be paying so much money to suck on video recording. And some of you may think video recording is not so important, but for me it is, from k700 to k750, i have recorded at least a 100 videos, they are nice memories and fun to watch, so if u r one of those that say that video quality isn't important, keep in mind that priorities change for each person and for some video recording may be very important. |

the arrival of the n73 should bring the price of the k800 down hopefully. |

@Blade Runner You think that there are Very Little Enhancemnets from the K750 to the K800? Well let's LIST the changes real quick so that we can see what your definition of Marginal is:
Camera: 2.0 upgraded to 3.2mp
Camera: added Image Stabilization and Best shot selector
Screen: 220x176 upgraded to 320x240 size upgraded by 10%
Frequency: - Added a model with 850mhz
Data: GPRS upgraded to EDGE and 3G (k790/k800 respectively)
Flash: LED Upgraded to built-in Xenon
Bluetooth upgraded to EDR 2.0 with A2DP capabilities
Flight mode - made available on a K-series phone
I wouldn't say that any of these feature upgrades are marginal. It's true, the video quality has not been upgraded, but plenty of other features have been as I have listed.

you fail to mention what has been downgraded, I was considering buying this phone but it's lack of support for msduo is gonna prevent me from doing so, I will wait for next lineup or god forbid I might even switch to Nokia :0 :0 :0 
anyways waiting another year or so to get a 1gb MAXIMUM stick for 200-300$ or so is not my piece of pie, I already have a 1 gb stick and a 2 gb stick and to go back to 64mb for 6 months to a year and maybe even buy a 512 mb for more than a 2gb msduo's cost is just wrong, they are milking us they shouldn't release ms micro till they actually start mass production and the size of the phone could've easily supported it.
as for picture quality it's more megapixel but up to now the quality I've seen is crap, hell I think my k750 is better 
I'm not bashing guys I was really looking forward to buying this phone just stating my thoughts ^^
