they don't, they are 2 completely different phones for different markets.

N80 it aimed at more business use K800 for more personal use.

Just my opinion.

The N83 will combine both...middle of next year.

How do they match up? well, they don't really...the n80 is a smartphone for a start..and very highly specced...so a comparison between the two is pretty void in my opinion...the only thing you can say is that the camera on the k800i is far better (atm) and the k800 is the only mobile with a proper flash...i currently own a k800i, and had a n80 prior to this....i loved the n80, but the battery life really sucked (without wifi on) and the camera wasn't upto par...even the n70 took better picture's..for overall feature's, the n80 wipe's the floor with the k800, but then, as i said at the start, it's a smartphone whereas the k800i isn't..although you can run upto 3 or 4 different app's in one go....

I prefer K800 because I've had a pretty good experience with SE and I don't like Symbian OS. But as the post above says they are targeted towards different markets.
gsmarena already compared them - http://www.gsmarena.com/3mp_test_nokia_n80_se_k800-review-79.php

Why do people say N80 is for business? Just because it has a bucket load of features doesnt automatically qualify it for business use. I've never seen big business men use Nokia. They usually have blackberrys in their hands or any other PDA.
N80's interface and features are exactly identical to all other Nokia Symbian phones which are not for business. N80 just adds a cherry to the top of the cake. So please stop calling Nokia a business phone. The last thing any business man would want is a device which hangs and restarts whenever the hell it wants.

N80 is a good smartphone, but its not the best
K800i is the best all arround none smartphone, with maby the best cam on the market.
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA

had an n80 and hated it!
terrible battery life, big and heavy in the pocket, a real nuisance to lock the keypad and an overated camera.

k800i... can't fault it, great handset

For your info, the camera is actually very very good. Secondly, its not overrated. I've never seen a N80 being hyped for its imaging capabilities.

k800i is all about its imaging, hence being called a 'cybershot' and it tries to include many other features as well, not just a great camera.
N80 is a smartphone that has good all round features, it does not solely focus on one capability.

Just because it has been 'hyped' it does not make it a good camera.
It may be good when compared to the overall quality of cam phones of today in general, e.g D600, K750, w810i, v3i etc etc.
But i do believe that the k800i has recieved more hype over its camera quality than anything else on the market right now.

k800i is all about its imaging, hence being called a 'cybershot' and it tries to include many other features as well, not just a great camera.

I said it WASNT hyped
