ok for anyone interested, i found some reviews.
[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica][FONT=Verdana, Helvetica]I've used both the K800i and the N73 for about 3 weeks a piece an i have chosen to stick with the N73 for the following reasons:
* The Camera is much much better in all conditions but lowlight (to be honest i only use its cam for quick snaps, i use ma 9.0Mp SLR for good pics!)
* The camera options are much more professional.. things like being able to change ISO levels for one!
* Multi Tasking on the N73 is much much better... once setup right i've had bout 3 or 4 progs runnin an no stutterin or slow down thats noticable!
* When i used the K800i i got about 2 days max out of the battery (i am a very heavy user) but with ma N73 i'm gettin about 4-5 days which am happy with!
* The screen is sooooooooooo huge an makes everything look amazin!
* I just bought a 2Gb Mini SD card for 35GBP can sonys M2 match that for price and size?
* I'm using Quick Office to edit word documents and excel spreadsheets... can k800i users do that?
* I know i cant update firmware at home but to be honest i have no need as i havent found any probs with using the phone yet... and wen i do i'll take it down the road (a 15min walk) to my local Nokia Service Centre for repair or take it to work an have it repaired lol.
Jus to get this clear i aint a Nokia fan boy in fact i was 100% SE before the K800i and then it went faulty an i realised that am bored and annoyed that SE can release crippled phones with buggy firmware and as long as its got a SUPER feature everyone will buy it... The K800i was released too early and this was due to Nokia about to release the N73 trust me....
---------------
and advanteages of N73 over K800i
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Helvetica][FONT=Verdana, Helvetica]-Much much better video recording (K800 video record is really crap)
- Much bigger physical screen size (N73 is 40% bigger than K800)
- much better PIMs like unlimited phonebook, calendar and of course the very useful active today screen.
- independent voice dialing. K800 is still using voice tags.
- better blog system which automatic log your activities like sms, image/video taking, notes & calendar entries and later allow you to sync to your PC/blog. K800 blog is so rudimentary compared to this.
- Nokia mobile-search - customised yellow pages capability. K800 dont have this.
- Yahoo Go and Google map applications pre-installed (may vary by region)
- PTT and EDGE support (K800 dont have this)
- video streaming via realplayer (K800 dont have this)
- much better multi-tasking (you can have any apps opened instead being restricted to java in K800)
- much better document handling capability (office docs, flash, pdf, web browser). K800 dont even come close.
- more jazzy gallery/image viewer (slideshow with music) and the movie editor thing.
- better profile system incl. going to offline mode without rebooting.
- much better theme system - you can change most of the UI unlike K800 which is restricted to certain aspect like wallpaper.
- unlimited sms storage
