K800i or N80... opinions?

I have an O2 MINI s just now. Hate it, Hate it, hate it. Loved it at first. Now find it slow and cumbersome. Fed up of having to use the stylus - (Nail biter!)

Now looking at a k800i or a Nokia N80.

Most important feature - a decent web browser.

What's the best to go with?

The new N73 is a closer match up to the K800i than the N80.

No it's not.

K800 and N80 are direct competitors.

As for which one, I have a k800 and it's a top phone, but if you want it specifically for the browser I would go with the N80.

I think they initially were but now the N73 is out its more of a direct competitor to the K800i based on there similar screen, camera, size, connection specs etc. A lot of sites are now comparing the K800i, N73 and D900 to each other.

I agree, the N73 is more camera orientated than the N80.

If u want excellent pics and battery life go for the K800i

If u want features and endless oppertunities of extra's (eventually) go for the N80

If u want a bit of both go for the N73 (should be better than the K800i with equal pic quality but i dont know what battery life is like)
