im thinking of upgrading my w810 for a n80. havent had a nokia for so long now. last one i had was n70 and i dint enjoy that at all lol!!

thing is the camera on the w810 maybe good, but theres such a delay from when i press the button to actually catching the picture, that all my pics come out blurey(where the person has moved or something)

the 3mp camera, wi-fi, 3g is tempting me very much.... so is the n80 much cop or should i stick with my w810 (even tho the camera bugs me)

N80 has got a beautiful screen, its symbian, but a weak batt. Even, i would go for it.

The N80 is a top phone mate, i've had the w810i and it doesn't compare.

The battery life isn't that bad after a few charges, i get about 3 days now with mine considering i use bt,wifi,camera ect in this time you can't complain.

Just make sure when you get one to update to the latest fw because the older fw is quite buggy and if your not using 3g then turn the phone into gsm mode.

Yes the better way is u go and play first for n80. I have play it around at phone shop, but for me, it menu navigation too slow compared to my k750, and it mp3 sound not good as k750, n because of that i still with my k750 untill now. coz i love the music. SE good in sound and photo that's all.

My advice? go n play wif it, make sure its the phone u need, u use symbian? normal use dun realy need symbian proggy as much as u use camera or listen 2 music if thats da case, its features incomparable wif w810, but its surely is wif p990

You can't really compare the 2. If you are into computers and want a feature packed poked pc, the N80 is worth a look otherwise . . .

all depends what your after in a phone!!!

i love my w810i and wont be changing because its small and compact, holds enough mp3's & funny mp4s to share with your mates. Godd for a qyuck snap if your proper camera not handy (i use my digital camera for decent ones). And i dont really use it for anything else (bar clls and texts!).

Only worth getting the N80 if your going to use its features!

Same thing used to happen to me when taking snapshots of people, until then I tried this trick... turn off shutter sound, then take the picture... this way they won't know when the picture has been taken and they wont' move until you tell them they're all set.

n80 will have a similar delay when capturing pictures at maximum resolution

and next to it, there is a tiny bug, when u zoom on the pix, u cannot access the latest zoom level. might be it will be fixed in the next fw version.
