i think that the pictures taken with n73 are overcompensated. i do not really use these phones with my photography sessions since i have a digital slr. but if i really need to use a camerafone then i would go for the k800. with the different shooting modes, best pic technology, xenon flash, etc. well, no offense to n73 users but i guess the k800 is better. the pics taken were so close to normal, that is it has the right ingredients of colors. well, i hope this helps se k800 would-be buyers.

      First i have some question. PLEASE, i dont want answers from someone like SE or Nokia fans. I want an honest answer from the ones that really know:

      1.How good is the 3D stereo speaker from N73 and how loud does it go? And, is it a lot better than the speaker from k800?
      2.How much takes to save a best quality photo? For N73 and k800
      3.What can I do with the Symbian OS and i cant do on the k800?

      My comments: I really am very confused witch one to buy k800 or N73 :-??? k800 has a much nicer design and has a nice flash. But the N73 has a bigger LCD, has an OS, 3D sound speaker, and from what this site posted does nicer photos. I like a lot the colours even if they are a little bit brightned, and i think that the details are better than the ones from k800. So please answer me and give me more honest arguments on what phone to buy. THX a lot

        if you say that N73 is the winner, it means that you are blind or stupid. there is a big noisyness in n73 pictures, the red it's to red, the colours are not as they are in reality. i can say that it's a competition between D900 and K800. they both make similar pictures, same clarity, same resolution, but the D900 pictures have the brightness that you don't need, they are brighter than in reality. i can't tell you the winner, but i can say that it's a tight competition between samsung and sony-ericsson

          K800 is the best. Great audio and picture quality. vivid colours without the need of a carls zeiss lens. both n73 and k800 have 240 x 320 resolution screens with 256k colurs but sony produce their screens in a different way with their own technique so the end result is a higher quality lcd display which is crisp n clear so for the people who are mad into their nokia's please stop fooling youself by being so loyal to them. just accept some manufacturers are better than others at somethings.

            i have actually used both SE k800i and Nokia N73... there is a big difference in the picture clarity. Nokia is a bit more brighter but SE k800 is a lot clear. SE has the best autofocus out of all the 3. For the video's nokia is a bit better than SE but overall i would definetly go for SE k800i. Still stands unbeatable. And just for the record SE k800i even beats the New Nokia N80...lol

              i agree with you ther "dude". I bet your 8yr old 2mp cannon camera does take better pics than these rip off products. Nokia are scams. i dont mind Sony ericsson because sony have experience in the camer world and have partners like carls zeiss so i think they know what their doin. Samsung are the same they are good.
              people are blinded by nokia. they have poor engineers and poor designers.use your brains guy and make a phone.

                After seeing the pictures, it's clear that Nokia N73 is better then Samsung D900 and SE K800. The colours are much powerful at Nokia. Anyway, if you really give it a fought, Nokia is the best brand at mobile phones, so there is no surprise that they remain number 1!

                  Well the way it looks is that even equipped with super-pixel cameras, none of them did get it at all! It's the lens that makes a picture and honestly, my 8y old 2MP Canon S10 camera takes far far far better pictures than any of these crap-mobiles. Save the money, buy a REAL super-slim camera and wait until they stop ripping you off with their fake products.

                        noiak are rubbish when it comes to anything. the camera on their handsets are so bad. when you take a picture with any nokia camera phone it take 20 years for it to save. the quality of their lcd screens and menu systems are terrible and made for children. you are only buying the name. and their phones are getting bigger. Why Nokia?????????????? For instace the N93, its the biggets Cavity block iv'e ever seen. There are HD ready cam-corders out there for pretty much the same price. What will nokia bring out next?.. A phone with a built in washing machine with a 25 mega-pixel camera and quad band???
                        Samsung produce the best looking phones in the world and they might not have the best cameras and do you know why guy? Because its a mobile phone.

                            Yeah I agree that the motorola V220 is a great camera phone. I've had this for at 6 months and still no problems. could do with a bluetooth feature to transfer my images to my other phone which is a Nokia N70. I prefer my V220 over ther N70 because of it's simplicity.

                                Listen Guys/girls, Everyone is debating on how good the cameras are on these handsets. You are forgetting that these are principally phones. NOKIA, SONY ERICSSON and SAMSUNG are not trying to put the likes of Canon or Fuji out of business & produce the best cameras. Do you all think that when you purchase a top end phone you must get the best and only the best eg: The best music player, audio and best camera. Look at the Nokia 8800...What do you get for your money??. Oh I forgot, its made of stainless steel. WOW. My spoons and forks at home are made out of this and Nobody comments about it. Just because of stainless steel exclusivity won't mean this will make the phone any better. If you want a good camera then why not go buy a dedicated camera? or alternatively why don't you just buy the 3 phones and when you get home throw the worst one in the bin.

                                      Matt or mad & murice. I talk to you. I say that n73's flash is powerful than k800. Ok .Example- 12 marks is bigger than 9. But when you see such way - 9 out of 10 marks & 12 out of 20 marks. I want to say that k800's flash is powerful. But is too weaker as a xenon flash. And as a led flash n73's is comparatively powerfu than k800.
