K800 is the best out all of them, read the specs people!!!! K800 allows the user to take nine pictures of a moving object simultaneously, hello, read that!! it's the best phone, does nokia or samsung phone do that ? NO they don't.

SE K800 ROCKS!!!

    Ok ,mans
    Samsung D900 must be the best phone.
    It's the same class with N95 so don't compare it with N73 or SE K800.
    D900's camera is best,
    D900 has cool design,slim feeling,and hi-end

        Dear Viewer,
        I have purchased the Samsung D900 today and till yesterday i was using the Nokia N73.
        If u really want a good camera,compact,good looking phone u buy the Samsung D900 its camare is too good and the size is also small compared 2 Nokia N73.I think Nokias N series models r not so good as compared 2 there non N series phones.Like N91,N80 that i have used the 91 has got the hanging probs and 80 has got the battery probs.

          The n73 cleary has the best lense (carl zieses) which is the most important thing needed in a camera when taking pics.

              If you compare the digital zoom, the macro modes, or many of the camera functions... or even just look at the shots, it becomes clear very fast that not only does the k800 offer the least distortion when zoomed, moving, or close up, it also provides by far the best zoom, and built in camera functions...

              i'd guess many people commenting here didn't even bother to look at the photos full size, and stuck with the thumbnails which offer nothing...

              Only the macro photo's, the k800 clearly outdoes the n73, despite it's zeiss lense, and the same is true for the zoom shots. The n73 also seems to over-compensate on the color front, leaving all the shots looking slightly fake..

              overall the k800 offer the best control, and quality... although it is let down slightly by it's sheer size. The n73 is a strong contender still, and the samsung is just not worth mentioning...

                Hi,for the moment I have a SE k750,and I am want to Upgrade to the 3.2 mp camera,but I that Nokia phone cameras,in general,add more color than the natural !! and can't stabalize the quality of pix when you're moving and taking pictures...unlike the SE K800 which gives us the real colors and much more camera options..As I have said to my friends,SE phones are the best :)

                  well samsung does not exert too much effort to make thier phones very attractive to customers but still offer the most applicable highest technology which is very accessible to all (young, adult and elderly), in fact samsung phones are very sellable, profitable and growing in an accelerating and constant rate. Unlike Nokia and SE which are over exaggerated.

                  Samsung keep it up!

                    i have all 3 phones - i use the samsung everyday. The sony was nasty, the nokia is way to big.
                    If I want to take pictures? I use the sharp sh903. End of story.

                        I will suggest you everyone dont compare with nokia n73 the best quality of mobile, the best picture quality is designed in n73

                        SE K800i is just a toy.. to buy and give to kids because this mobile is specially made for kids.

                        and Samsung D900 ... if i were the owner of SAMSUNG i will have close this company and have a rest in grave..

                          I like the N73! Its got good quality pics compared to D900 and k800i,( For Still Life or Non-Moving Objects) but I think I will go for K800i because of its image stabilizer capabilities.That means, If I wanna take a quick shot most specially moving objects..then definitely I will get a better quality pics!

                              i have a d900 well i tink the photographer didnt adjust the lighting....because when i take pics even in the dark areas its rili visible....i think when you say the color of the d900 is dull its because the photographer didnt adjust the brightness...too much brightness makes the color fade.

                                people are so bias ....and blind, the brightest and nicest color wud be the samsung d900.just because ur a loyalist doesnt mean u shud vote for ur brand. be fair. the only thing that is rili good abt the n73 is in the dark places i min the night mode but based on clarity its d9.

                                  i would go for n73. k800 give no surpise for me. for people who already using k750, the only upgrade is the camera.. n73 shock me with 2.4" screen. carl-zeiss, and many stuff..

                                      it doesn't take a genius to see that the obvious winner is the sonyericsson K800i. it has truly amazing picture quality and can beat nokia or samsung any day. but i have to say that after the K800i the next best camera phone is the N73, so there you have it, K800 rules!!!.

                                        For you guys thinking the D900 doesn't compare, check out PhoneArena's review. They put D900 and K800i joint top on pic quality....

                                        At the end of the day its personal choice, but I still stand by what I said before, for camera phones its more about ease of use than picture quality!
