Maybe you guys can give me some insight.
I like my N80(V4). The screen is just brilliant, wifi is a plus, the speed is good too.
disadvange is little too thick for me, the bad night video recording, and loose slider. I dont think battery is an issue because my last 2 days, which is enough for me though

And there is N73.. It does have a better camera with AF,better video recording, and the form factor is slimmer. The screen is bigger which is nice, but not hi-res like N80. One thing is it lacks wifi... I live in US so dont have 3g.
Is N73 slower than N80?

What you guys think?

N73 has more memory (not so much more) so it is speeder when using the menus and opening programs.

I dont think the size is really much of an issue, because the phone is by far shorter then most phones, and you are never going to have the phone "open" in your pocket?

I've used N73 before changing to N80. sounds wierd?

NO!

N73 has a brighter screen compared to N80.
N73's cam is definitely better.
N73 is slimmer and feels lighter.

Why i still change?

I prefer having WiFi although 3G is more mobile.
The form factor is more appealing (to me)

Honestly, N73 is jus a variant of N80 or so the series in that category.
If you take lots of picture and print direct, go for N73 but wait awhile for the Music Edition which is more appealing in black.

If you are not so much of a camera/video person, go for the N80.

please note that the 3MP cam on the N80 is good enough for picture taking every now and then.

Cheers!
