Besides form factor the only difference I can see is WiFi on N80 and bigger screen on N73. Am I missing something? What do you reckon is better phone?

N73 also has higher capacity battery, so hopefully it will last a normal amount of time

The N80 is a bit useless because of the low capacity battery otherwise it could have been a good phone

I prefer the n73 design over n80, but imo the best way to see and feel the differences is the personal test of both devices. N73 is soon out.

I hope the reception on the N73 will be good as the Nokia 6630 i had was terrible, even my T610's reception is 110% than the Nokia 6630.

Yeah, think I prefer the design of the N73 with the big screen and it's a lot thinner (fed up with my frankly obese S700i). I keep hearing it's out soon but the Vodafone site appears to offer it now. Doesn't mention whether it's pre-order so looks like you could buy now. http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/in[....]tHandsetID=524&VariationID=578
What do you think?

upper should have little branding
n73 is also cheaper than the n80 surprisingly seeing as the n80 jus has the added wifi.
i tried it and the screen is beautiful as if the camera n80 didnt do anything for me

Sorry i odnt know how old this thread is, but i didnt want to start my own n73 vs n80 thread. Everyone seems to say how the battery on the n80 is rubbish. How rubish is it? how long does it last and how long does the battery on thr n73 last? People say the n73 is better, but i love the design of the n80. Also whats this about saying the camera on the n73 is better? i thought they were both 3mp? Also if you take a picture, which screen will it look better on? the n80 or n73? as i heard the n80 has higher reslution screen.
thanks

After having owned a N80 and owning a N73 at the mo i can safely say the N73 is the superior phone. The battery on the N80 lasted me around 2 days the N73 around 3-4. Not sure on resoulution but as far as i know the screen of the N73 is larger than the N80's. The N80's build quality also has a lot to be desired for, with vague slide and cheap battey cover.
Concerning the cams although both 3.2 mpx's the N73's is far superior, the N73's has autofocus which makes a massive differance, and although the N80 does have a macro slider switch for close ups i found it generally useless, saying that the on screen picture qulity will be roughly the same, though when transferred to a PC or printed the differance will be noticeable.

The battery on the N80 is weak but it will get you through a working day with heavy usage. The camera on the N73 has a more expensive lens and has auto-focus which the N80 lacks. The screen on the N80 is as good as it gets but the N73s is far from poor. Once you've had a phone with wi-fi and understood the possibilities you can't live without it.

Oh and I nearly forgot...
the N73 is a tacky piece of plastic crap without style or charm.
