Oops, n80? Maggflodd lives in ireland... So naturally it's not affordably 'out' here, yet. But it has moving bits, doesn't it?! Now I have the dys-pleasure of using 6680/n70 at work... What you don't wanna do is trust no-kia with even more movable bits than those 2 don. And by the way, those two should also dispel the myth that no-joystick-means-fewer-problems: try opera mini or red out racer or, or, ... You'll yearn for k750's sticky stick! And don't get me started on the symbian-smart-bit...

I have both N80 and the K800i.
I have have had the N80 for 3 months and the K800 for a month.
I would choose the K800i over the N80 any day.
My first impressions when i got the n80 was good but not brilliant, Its a smart phone that has crap battery, poor camera(Yes i know that its not really a camera phone) but my k700 vga takes better shots than the n80. The menus are slow and the phone just crashes and crash, yes i have the latest version of firmware but sorry still prefer the k800.
Both of my phones are unlocked an generic firmare installed.
The video is better on the n80 than the k800 and i can def say you can do loads more with the n80 and i like the wifi. But again i would still buy the k800i over the nokia.
Sorry Nokia, Luv the phone, but battery is shocking and camera is total crap at night (Light is useless) So the phone is going which is a shame.
Oh well, Lets hope the N83 will be much better.
The i suppose SE will have something up the sleves.

I couldnt wait for Orange to release the K800 so bought a N80. It was the first phone out about 40 I've had that within 3 days of having it I wished I hadn't bought it 3 weeks later I now have a K800

Well the N80 is a smartphone and the K800 is a simple everyday type of phone. They're different phones for different market segments, and comparing them is a bit unreasonable.

I agree the phones are different and cannot be compared features wise, but they seem to be two of the 'must haves' at the moment. But the N80 is still a dissapointment, it could have been so much better if nokia put a bit more thought and care into design and build of hardware and software. |

So can you say a N80 is a N70 but with a 3MP cam? |

QVGA - The n80 is a business phone.
DarrenGF - you say "but my k700 vga takes better shots than the n80" I have produced some prety good pics with the n80, far better than the w800i I had. The k800i is a great camera but it is a camera phone. You will probably find the quality of the pistures is down to the photographer not the N80. The n80 just takes a bit of getting use to setting up the shot, like most real photography does.
Roriboy - "a real nuisance to lock the keypad". You just load a free application and define one of the soft keys to run it. Easy. Lock with 1 button unlock by opening the slider or click 2 buttons.
you can not directly compare these 2 phones (well you can but it means nothing). Depends what you want.
k800 has a great phone (but nothing else it has beats the n80)
n80 has:
2gb memory is £30 ish, k800 is only 1gb for the same money
wifi
offline mode (flight mode) on both
video quality
install loads of applications
good quality sat nav applications available
This phone has all the functionality of a laptop but it is a phone.
The battery life is poor but the host of features makes up for it. I hope a newer firmware comes out soon (silimar to the k750i firmware improvemnts) and fixs a few of the niggles.

Great quote BobaFett, if you ignore all the features any phone has other than being able to make calls you could say all phones are identicle!!

I think the 3mp comparison has been made and everyone agrees that the k800 is a better camera.
