This guide is written based on my opinion and experience. The phones we will be talking about are Nokia N73, N80, N95, N81 8GB
And I will be saying it as simple as possible.
I am currently using Nokia N80.
Remember this, no phone is perfect.
I've always thought my N80 was too fat and slow. So I tried to replace it: N73, N95, N81 8 GB.
N73--Bar phone with very sharp image camera. Takes a while for the camera to load but takes great picture and will definitely replace a digital camera as it has 3.2 MP with great macro lens. HOWEVER, flash isn't that great. Front camera does not have night mode, video taken by front camera is limitted to 35 seconds. No wifi connection.
N95-People have always said it is a great phone. I'm not sure if it was just mine, but the camera takes very very very very long time till it can capture a picture. 5 MP camera yes, but what about the rest of the functions? Faster than the N80, camera's sharper than the N80, but very slow. And front camera sucks badly I'd feel better if it wasn't there(well, for me front camera is important). But anyhow, the slow image capturing+worst quality front camera bug me real bad. The internet and the operation loading were fast. It might be a good phone for you if speed of camera doesn't matter. But for me, I think it's not worth its price.
N81 8gb- this one I just received. I love everything about it-gaming, internet, 8GB, speed. BUT--- camera..again. Front camera is better than the N95 at least, rear camera is 2 Mp which takes ok pictures outdoor daylight. But no macro, and flash destroys the picture. But for the price, this is truely a great phone.
Now.. about my phone N80 IE. Let me just put it this way, I like everything about it except the speed.
But it's like having a girlfriend you know?
You sometimes think other girls can replace her, there will always be some people who's prettier, some thinner, some smarter, some nicer and so on.
But they're not the one for you. The prettier one may not be as nice, the smarter one may not be as pretty.
For me the N80 fills all my expectations for something I'd stick with. It's not perfect because of the speed, but I can live with that. Just less than $300 on eBay now, with 3.2 MP camera with flash(not well but brightness is adjustable), macro lens, wifi, games. It's good for the price. I can't think of more I can want from it.
Now it's your opinion to choose.... what kind of man/woman you want to be with. What is a "must-have".. and what are the things you can "look-over" in them.......... :)
Good luck!
