I currently own a Samsung D900 and it's an amazing phone....only minor draw back is there's no custom tones for msg notifications. Other than that everything on the phone is great. Couldn't ask for more in a phone

      i don't want people lying about n73 and d900. both these phones are not worth comparing with k800i.thouh iam a n73 user, i support the k800i for its best camera quality both indoors and outdoors.symbian is cool but sony interface is fantastic.k800i is a digicam in other words.xenon flash is really good. 16x zoom does well in k800i than 20x in n73.i regret for buying the brick. be wise and buy se k800i.

        Those three phones were good and quality phones. But, I am using D900 phone and I just love it. No criticism. I like also those two phones it's because of their mega pixels and the picture they've got in very take. I like my D900 because of it's sliding, super slim, color etc. Those three were good and you don't have to worry if you have one of those phone. You will never regret.

          After evaluating among the 3 phones, I decided to buy the D900 because after comparing them in stores I realized that the D900 is the most unique one in terms of feature and design which set it apart from the other two which are more identical. D900 photos is fantastic and features are out of this world. I loved the videos taken by D900 camera even at night, very smooth and sounds great even the music videos which i downloaded from the limewire site.

          The cons of the K800 which i realy do not like is that videos taken by the camera and music videos downloaded from the computer sucks big time, believe me very disappointing i could really cry at the corner. It cannot even handle a 3gp file very well while mp4 file freezed big time.

          N73 is a good symbian phone but slow and you cannot even insert a number from a phonebook while texting plus you cannot even extract a number sent by a text message to be saved in a contact list. Video is very acceptable but lesser than the D900.

          These are only my opinions and what I have obeserved while comparing them in store.

                  i,ve got SE K800 and thanks a lot i opted for that as my friend have got n73 and he has got firmware problem and software problem already i,ve used my phone rather roughly and i,ve got no prob the xenon flash is superb while others fail in this it is has a awesom multitask one can open as many task as possible truely the sound as i,ve compared is the clearest among 3 n73 has loud sound but its not clear as all of these have 3.2mp lence se k800 have got more applications and adjustments than others and when its horizontal it looks a digi cam on backside just noyice that i know n73 is symbian but i being a IBM engineer can assure to opt 4 only SE K800i or ask any one who has technical knowledge

                        salman we're talkin abt the quality not the quantity---when it comes to the video samsung is betr and also if u use the autofocus w/c i think wasnt much used here by the "responsible" photographer in gsmarena...ul see its really fine.

                          bfor i tot d9 cam was just ayt a bit blurry but when i used the autofocus omg! it was really clear! the details were really fine!
                          thats why others cnt appreciate the pix coz they didnt use the autofocus.id say this cp is brilliant and beautiful in and out! and the size is just for me...iam not into big cp's ...sori

                            i like the d900 a lot,takes pix like its the real thing... even when i listen to its music through the headset its rli coooool(esp.the 3d).also the video is better than both nokia n se .the design also beautiful,classy and the os is very simple that anybody can use it.everyone can buy a digicam if they really want a really nice pix.its more practical.

                              D900 wins, because this was not fair. the Samsung model is fashion. Nokia&SE are smart-phones. D900`s photos are unbelievably good when u think N73 has Carl Zeiss lens. By the way... D900 is also cheaper then the other 2 and much more fashionable. it depends on what u want: a smart-phone or a great-looking one ;)

                                  Its clearly N73 - No1, K800 & D 900 to follow respectively. This is only in terms of the Picture quality.

                                    K800 win if the light was poor and it give the best picture details. That's the strength of K800 with many weakness. D900? Just for a "samsung fanatic person", you'll regret if you buy this phone (trust me).
                                    So, the winner is still Nokia N73. Yeah, N73 beat them all. I also love the symbian OS S60, i can do so much thing with that OS.
                                    no symbian? NOTHING !!!
                                    phone without symbian is unreliable. only for beginner or child.

                                      Its been the toughest decision i've to make since the time i'm using cells.SE has been a straightforward choice for me since 2004,starting from k700i.then went for n70 just because of its shape and big screen which if could get in SE k750, i would have certainly gone for SE.However now n73 or SE k800i, too difficult! SE have been on top for their design n userfriendly interface n joystick, but in k800i, i don't know what has happned to the phone design;sucking!
                                      well its been amazing that all the reviews are based on cam quality n none is talking about screen size n features which i n73 has more than k800i.i also consider sound quality as a big factor bcoz when it comes to ringtone or radio or songs, sounds matters n SE takes the number here always.
                                      n73 wins over cam n screen high resolution display n color definitions but what about sound?SE takes power on xenon flash n image stabilization.
                                      What to do, i've to get one from these 2, which one??????

                                        i have n73.its so good and i heard so much for k800 that the joystick are having problems for about 3-4 months.n73 its a star,with no problems and with the better camera.samsungs are for girls and they wont work like nokia.you need to know that nokias are the best phones ever and when you need a phone go and pick up nokia or better call NOKIA N73
