The Zeiss company should really start reconsidering their relationship with Nokia - reviews like this dont work to their benefit. The N90 (another Zeiss)/K750 duel was bad enough, now this could be the last nail in their coffin.
*note: last time I checked, Zeiss makes lenses for cameras/micro-photography - basically, still imaging (correct me if this is no longer accurate). A heads-up to fanboys who scream "K800 video quality is crap, etc etc".

And a digi cam beats all fones in quality. A cam fone is ok for fun, dont get why the tons of posts about comparisons, imo its pointless

Well, yes in most aspects the K800 is better (the compression of the N93 photos was pretty bad as well) but the K800's purple fringing is quite a bit worse than the N93's. And why? It's all down to the lense. I still did find it weird when they decided to put Carl Zeiss lenses in Nokias, not SEs. Do you know what I'm hoping for in the next Cybershot phone  ? Still a great result from two very differently priced phones.

boba: "pointless" would be a relative word, my friend.
tech freaks like myself get a high when reading these comparisons. a little showbiz won't hurt now, eh?

Of course the cam feature is high ranked now a days, but i would never go for a fone cos of it. Might be some day fone cams will offer the same level as digi cams, but then way more powerful batts will be needed, cos taking many pix do drains batt. Yet.

is it not that mobile-review, 90% of the time, gets their reviews and comparisons out before other sites do because they get their hands on the devices before everyone else does? *cough*pre-release*cough* the gsmarena one claimed that they're doing the comparison on the release version of their respective firmwares. i'm not a big k800 fanboy (distaste for the design), but aside from the purple fringing on overexposed areas (as mentioned, likely a result of the quality lens from zeiss), Sony proves themselves more experienced in the software plumbing that works the hardware (onboard white balancing/compression vs. quality tradeoff/exposure adjustment/etc.). On sharpness, color and detail - the K800 wins hands-down. and a "sharp/hi-fidelity picture" is not a subjective thing either.

Those pics from a k800 on mobile-review are a little weird, I've seen a lot better pics from many other sites and forums. There's something's cheesy there...

@pow the mobile-review cam comparison of n93 and k800 was posted quite some time ago.I guess that comparison was made by prototypes of the 2 phones.But this comparison of gsmarena seems to be from the final release versions.
So i guess  took notice of the shortcomings against the n93 and finetuned its firmware before finally releasing the fone for sale.i guess thats why we're seeing better results from the k800 in this comparison.
I wish they 'finetune' the video now aswell.

^^^ looks like im not the only one not impressed by m-r 
on another note, doesnt the N80 and N73 have 3MP cameras too? Nokia doesnt seem to be pimping that fact as much as they do with the N93
