Think n80 owners have to get used to it. But there was a rumour of a 1000 mah batt release

I Have both (the missus has the k800), the k800 is great for taking shots but the N80 opens up a lot more possibilities with the use of applications, which makes it more of an investment in terms of that is not just a camera phone, which the k800 is.
Therefore I think that I will get bored much quicker with the k800 than the N80, which happened within a few weeks of getting my k750 last year.

dude with the 18 extra batteries you need to buy for the n80 you're right it's it quite an investment.
investment the phone will be obsolete within the year and you'll move on to something else.

@Dragon I did not say monetary investment, in case you don't understand, I meant that whilst I have the N80 phone (which will not be more than 11 months) I can do lots more with it than the k800.

n80 does have short battery life but fun to use , and if you turn everything off eg: brightness set to low , and turn off 3g..
should be around 1.5 days usage;) |

I've owned both phones, got my K800 now though cause it's cheaper, but come next year, with the introduction of the N83 or similar, I'm there like a shot, I'll b alot richer!
Cheers

I have just got a free upgrade on my wife o2 contract and took the k800 so I can settle this discussion (for myself anyway).
should get it tomorrow. Great deal (glas the w800 is rated as such a cheap phone. £9.99 on a £20 (reduced from £25) a month tarrif. Started that they wanted £129.99 and keep the same tarrif, did the old please cancel my contract and give me my PAC number, got through to the nice lady at retentions and she started with 69.99, nope...then 9.99 nope then 9.99 and £5 off a month. OK.
I will try the phone for a week and compare them both. Which ever I like I will keep and flog the other on Ebay, give the wife the cash and she can either buy a phone sim free (she doesn't want the k800 as she dislikes so much about the k750) and the n80 is too much of a gadget for her.
Can't wait to settle this.
N80 is a great phone, the wifi is so handy for podcasts, email etc without having to get out the laptop, the sat nav saves me lugging around a separate unit, battery life is rubbish but well over 24 hours with typical use (and I could always switch it off at night and save a few hours).

Proud owner of the K750i-converted to w800 but now flogged on ebay and have the superb N80. |

It will be better to compare the k800i to the N73 ! The N80 is at least one if not 2 shoe numbers to big (feature wise) for a K800i. Sorry SE

lol.. the only thing the n80 does well is lose battery and stutter due to memory errors

I ain't going to argue with you buddy. This been a SE forum I expect to see chaps like you around. Fine - have it your way - the K800i has more features then the stupid N80. However I am still going for the N80 if you don't mind Grittings from South Africa. Mario

honestly... the only thing the n80 has is wifi... what else does it truly offer? (yes s60 does more that's a given.. so there's your 2 shoes)
the n73 is a better package.. cause it works better as a phone..
the prescious nokia n80 is the worst of the entire new line of s60..
i would rather use the
e61
e70
n73
all perform better then that piece of junk the n80..if they release a 1000 mah battery and a good firmware then maybe it has a leg to stand on but until then...the n80 with firmware 17 is garbage

1000mah batt. is going to come within a month,it won't be a Nokia thou but I don't mind. I will use it mostly as a server while within wifi range and as a gps with a 'bluenext' gps addon. You see I am flying as a hobby and the N80 has the best screen around. (try reading your cell in bright sunlight with sunglasses/uv-visor on) . With a N80 configured as a server on EDGE anyone,anywhere in the world can see on google earth in real time (second by second) where I am and where I have landed (recovery - fly paragliders) the Edge connection is fast and stable enough and also has enough range to do something like this. Also I will use it as a aac++ player while I fly and take a pic now and then. Thanks for your opinion Buddy Greetings from a sunny South Africa. Mario.
