    I like K800i more than the N73 basically it is because when you recieve bluetooth files in N73 it will store the file to the inbox mixing with your messages. That just makes your files all unorganized and crooked. And the Design! N73 is Gayish compared to K800i, the only thing is that N73 can use the front camera to take pictures but the K800i cannot. BUT the advantage of the K800i is that it has Xenon light, (XENON not LED) is much more brighter and is used by cameras, so you can take pictures even if you are five meters or far more away from the Phone. Unlike N73 which uses only LED light it can't take pictures far away as K800i. When you use the camera button at the side of the N73 you may accidentally use the other button just beside the camera button, and that would just a waste of time if you really wanna capture the moment. Well in K800i no problem, and one thing N73 is Symbian that makes it a smart phone and the K800i is not, but the disadvantage of symbian phones like nokia nowadays is that your gonna be paranoid using your bluetooth, 'cause your phone might be infected with Viruses and in K800i no prob, and N73 is also SLOOWWER than K800i in opening files and sometimes N73 will hang! In K800i you can play videos, play 3D games vertically or HORIZONTALLY, take photos during NIGHT and day, Blog photos, listen to music with these formats .mp3, .mp4, .wma, .3gp, .midi and etc, its mp3 player is almost the same as of the walkman phones only it is not walkman, you can also edit photos, make a slide show, compose your tones, change its themes, you can even hack it and flash it and personalize your menus.

      ok firstly you have to look at the phones individually, the K800 as a phone is extremely tacky, it flashes a cheap plasticy design and the keys are so awkward to press would take som time to use the cheapness, the nokia n73 secondly has an extremnely cheap outer covering, the screen creaks when applied to minimal pressure, the camer cover slider piece doesnt feel sturdy, it is a massive handset for the features it offers which is around the same capabilities as the K800 but it weighs almost 120g, it has sooooooo much lag, it takes at least 20 seconds minimum to load, users wouldt experience this problem with K800 and D900 as much, the nokia and sony ericsson can only offer a substantial candy bar design which is very bland leaving the keys and camera exposed if the shutter covers arent closed while the samsung is a slider the keys are protected and the camera would always most certainly remain covered once again presenting samsungs priority, for users who are considering buying the samsung D900 wait for the D900i as it offers a little bit more value for money, it has a built in radio, the camer process is marginaly quicker, the interface appears to look more classier than that of the D900. the three phones all contain various advantages and disadvantages which the user will value differently, the nokia has a greater range of editing tools and accessories, the K800 also has a great range of editors this is due to the N73 and K800 being proper camera phones as of the creators intentions, this is present in the camer qualities as they both have great cameras such as the cybershot for the K800, and carl zeiss for the nokia, samsung uses an actual phone intended camera is quite good compared to the other 2, in the end the phone which has to be th emost user friendly and simplistic would be the samsung, it doesnt have a confgusing user configuration. It really is a great phone it has document viewer, tv output a 3.13 megapixel camera a great stylish design and is user friendly so buyers i would suggest a D900 or wait for the D900i as the phone is great for all people and samsung aim in creating phones which are efficient and value for money

          sccuussseeee me! I hate to disagree BUT FYI k800i has night mode! And by far, SE phones are way much better than Nokia! Nokia units depreciate faster than SE.

          :P

                    The biggest reason I bought the D900 is for that increddible screen,I know for a fact that the K800's screen can not even compare I also had one. Im a Professional photographer, so I mostly hate the cameras on cellphones because theyre horrible. But I must say one thing, the D900's camera is really exellent! as long as you use the autofocus and have enough light, you will get crisp high quality images on par with many digital cameras. and one of the nicest things about the phone is the few manual controls it gives you, such as ISO. I have taken some really nice pics with this phone and my associates still cant believe the were taken with a phone. The phone itself is increddibly stylish and classy! One tip i can give d900 owners, is that when using the flash/LED set the white balance to "Flourecent" for some reason the light comes out more white and not blue as with auto.

                          N73 is obviously the best among the three. People who say it's not good cannot afford to buy N73. They buy K800 or D900 which look really cheap. D900 has the worst camera and no 3G compared to the other two. K800 is ugly-looking. N73 is best so far because it has decent camera, user-friendly interface, 3D stereo speakers and a good build made from stainless steel. So I'd highly recommend N73. But if you have money problems, stick with D900 or K800

                            i am testing mobile phones for two years and i have tested all of this three phones and compared them and i will tell you my opinion. i will sugest to buy the k800 because he has the best picture and the best quality. In the second place i will put the n73 she has problem with viruses and has avarege picture and he is the smartphone for work people. The d900 is worst of this phones and has the worst 3mp camera and has worst battery i had ever seen. D900 is the phone for desinge and for bether look

                            ilove this jobe

                                    i have the k800 and my friend have the n73 we were trying to compare them:
                                    n73 more complicated then k800
                                    the k800 is faster then n73
                                    sure that the cam in k800 is better in day and night
                                    the n73 speaker is higher then k800 and its not a problem coz u r not going to make a party with a cell phone.
                                    design?i preffer the k800 it is black and very classic.

                                      They say k800 has a digital camera-like interface,but i think n73 is closer to a digicam..basically,the camera interface of k800 is more or less the same like k750

                                        Nokia n73 Best phone on the Market 4 over 8Months why

                                        Low cost to buy
                                        3+ Mega pixel camera
                                        3d Sound
                                        Best camera lense money can buy
                                        Night Shot Flash yes you can take very clear photos at night
                                        memory storage 2gb
                                        Music + Video player support wma, Mp4 watch DVD on phone
                                        Light weight+ Small made 110g
                                        3G support
                                        Built in Radio
                                        Very good battery life

                                        Nokia have delivered to their credit and respect in the market place very good high quality phone.

                                        Only phone in the market with highest build + Software quality built in. No comparison with others... all the other phones in the market lack Build or Sound Or Display or Software quality Issues. Only Nokia n73 has addressed all these issues.

                                        Great Phone you could say Ipod of Nokia, i would not be surprised if every one soon will be carrying this phone.

                                        Only draw back is its size, its weight is low but if they can get this all in to Samsung d900 size and for the same price then it will be truly game over for the other manufactures.
