hi guys,
Im going to buy one of these phones soon. Price is not really a major problem for me, as i now have some 'contacts', no they arent scammers i dont personally know . The prices given to me, covnverted to gbp are 250gbp for n80 and 220gbp for w900i. I was going to buy one off here, but atm looks like ill use this person for now.

Any way, I like to listen to music, take photos and record videos ( video only used for dance parties, get the dj's and crowd and lights in action and some other occassions)
I havnt used symbian before, but im not affraid to try new things.

Can people please share their experiences with these phones, especially the ones who own both or have used both. Id like as much info as possible.

My phone atm is w810i so take that into consideration when suggesting which one.

cheers guys

n80 is a symbian,beautiful screen,great features, nice cam, but weak batt and that slider solution isnt the best imo, keypad is very uncomforteable

thanks for the replies guys.
Ranjith, im getting rid of my w810i as its too similar to my old k750i soi need a phone very soon. And since there is a k900i coming at end of year, ill prob get n80 as it will probablyholdits value more and i will be able to sell it for more when get k900i. But then again, the w900 is being discontinued in UK, so it could be in high demand in a few months, hmm...

Is there anyone who can compare the two, someone who has both or has used both, pros cons etc.
I know battery life is better in w900, correct?

cheers guys

imo n80 cam is far better then w9. in average 1.3 mp nokia cams are better the se ones. next to it, n80 has 3mp, w9 has 2mp.

N80 doesn't have auto focus but the cam is pretty good, probably equal to the w900.....i would get the n80, its only drawback is the battery (which i can get 2 days out of with medium usage).

from that point of u, u are right, it has no af, but - at least for me - its not that important. for quality pix i take a digi cam, fone cames doesnt count for me. have to admit, that in n80 the manual set of macro is a joke.

ranjith,
This move to nokia is only temporary. I dont like them, for me the looks are too 'plain'. I cant really explain what i mean but i just dont like them. And one of the resons i dont like them is because every 1 in 5 person has a bloody nokia. I like to be different to them. With the n80 i will be, as im only 18 and people my age wont have phones like this.
Anyway, i will prob get the n80 if all goes well, if not ill get w900. I will be getting the k900i in December which will have k800 cam, qvga video, more internal memory, new os (not java hmmm uiq?) and different looks, better looks i hope. So if i get n80 i will be back to SE soon enough.

So is the n80 battery that bad? And which has better video out of the 2?

cheers guys
