Should I Change my N73 for a N80?

I have just bought an N73, and I quite like it. However the phone calls I make with it have problems with echo, breaking up and distortion. (I have proved it is this phone buy making the same phone calls with a different phone and sim swapped)

Anyway. I am going to be taking the phone back, and either get a new N73 or an N80. To be truthfull I ain't looked into as much, but could someone tell me, if I got an N80 what benifits would I get and what would I lose from the N73.

Scott.

i know me too but i just dont like the design of n80... i dont like the whole sliding thingie...but it has wi-fi tho which is really kewl feature...

if you need wi-fi then go for n80, if not, then stay with n73.. try to upgrade your firmware to check if it'll fix the problems..

I had an N73 downgraded to the N80 and although the Wifi is very handy and greatly missed now that I have switched back to the N73, I prefer the N73.

Ive been using my N80 for a while now and I'm very happy with it,

sadly I've had to send it away for repair but have had the use of an N73 in the

mean time. To be quite honest only three things make me want my N80 back,

1.Yes, N80 screen is physically smaller but i love the hi res screen

2.Build quality on my N80 is excellent, N73 creaks and squeaks a bit

3.The N80 keypad is well suited to my large stubby digits, the N73 keypad is a bit cramped for me.

The problem you have with call quality isn't something I've encountered, If I was you I'd stick with the N73 unless you need WIFI,
N73's camera has the best user experience and results of any phone i've used.

I have a brand new N80 (stainless steel) for sale if anyones intrested.

I also prefer the N73 to the N80,thats why i'm selling it.
