N73: Nokias answer to Sonys k800

aCA

I had my mind set on buying a k800 when they come out in June/July but now after seeing details of the N73 I'm not so sure which to go for. Nokia seem to be claiming that the N73 will be out in July & I really cant see that happening but the N73 does look like a good spec phone.

To me it promises to be one of Nokias best phones for a while, the 3.2m camera has autofocus (unlike the n80) and a faster processor than the n80, pity about no wlan and a lower resolution screen than the n80, but its a good sized screen. It certainly seems like it will go head to head with Sonys k800i which will hit shops earlier, Im just wondering if I'll wait for the n73. Anyone else who was planning on a k800i having second thoughts?

****, now i have also changed my mind i might wait for the nokia.i was ready to buy the k790/k800 when it comes out.but any news on price for nokia phone.i think it will be more expensive than the sony.but really the sony still looks nicer and slimmer.

But the Nokia will have much more support with all the Symbian software out there....this probably doesn't matter to most people but without my 100's of Symbian games to play and applications to use I'd go mad!

Although anyway I'll keep dreaming....like I'd be able to afford either of those phones anyway

Hope it doesnt have the same annoying plasticky keypad as the N70...

It uses the new version of the Symbian OS, which is supposed to be much faster than previous versions.

The N73 screen is much bigger than the k800's, which puts my attention more on the N73 than the k800.

Can't wait till it's released!
