Nokia N80 vs. Sony Ericsson K800: 3 megapixel shootout - read the full textThe first Nokia 3 megapixel camera phone, N80, just hit the market. The Sony Ericsson K790/K800 might follow soon and it comes with the famous Cyber-shot logo. We decided that it will be interesting to test the photo capabilities of the two phones head to head. Sony Ericsson K750 joins the party.

well...n80 is better than k800 to me. well da only problem with k800 is da video stuff and da memory stik... guys da memory stik is really xpensiv and also its very rare...and da video quality is just so low standard in terms of da 3.2 mehapixel camera. in da case of only camera widout video its k800 obviously..but for allrounder n80 is da winner for me...also 2 include dat da reviews given by gsmarena ar really very kool nd good...dey really help...and lastly i want 2 add dat people who can wait a little bit shud wait for da n93..coz k800 is nowhere near da nokia n93...and as i am very keen 2 buy a cell fone..so next week inshallah i will b buying a nokia n80...i wish n93 comes by da next week den um definitely goin' for n93......

Superb Review. Very informative. I currently own a W900i an I am considering upgrading. The K800 is very impressive in the camera department, however the N80 is a incredible all round mobile. My phone currently has a 2.0 megapixel camera, same as the K750. The main advantage is the 470mbs of built in memory, an the possibility of using a 2gb memory card. The only other phone with this kind of memory that I would have considered is the N91. However, through another very informative review I have changed my mind. The N80 then became my next contender, equipped with a 3.2 Megapixel camera, incredible video capability, a wide range of connections; WAP,GPRS,3G,Bluetooth,Infared & WiFi etc. The K800 is very good in its camera dep't, howvever I am hoping that Sony Ericsson introduces a Walkman model to this. Just as in the case of the D750/K750/W800. If they in actuality do, I will definately purchase that. A Sony Ericsson Walkman with a 3.2 Megapixel camera. Thats a buy. In summary, if you are deciding between these two,be sure that you are sure take into consideration all the features of both phones, not just the imaging aspect of them. Thanks All..

K800i rocks!! A great camera with flash ,good stereo music comparable to W800i (except for megabass and Walkman logo). Now,this is what I call an allrounder.
But, I have a Nokia6670 and if I upgrade ,i fear that I cannot use applications like callrecorder , chess ,etc
Any suggestions? existing Sony ericcson users please post.

Great review. I was going for the Nokia, but now I'm not sure. As I use this as a business phone, what is also important is the ring volume etc, and the call quality. Reliability is also a must, as too many times my phones don't last any more than 12 months. I would like to take good pics, but like also to store music, and still have good basic phone use. I would be interseted in any other results. Thanks

NOKIA just sells NAME, SE sells features! And people in Indonesia bought super expensive mobile phone just for showing off, not for the features. Stupid!

Thanks for the comparison. Helped alot! just bought a n91 and didnt like it at all (lag in processing time and video callin doesnt allow u to see the other person if camera is focused on u). Now lookin at the n80, K800 and the SAmsung Z710. Pleasseee do a comparison with the Z710 so i dun buy no stupid phone again. thanks

Exellent review, very impartial. I was looking to upgrade my sharp gx30i and was aiming my sights at the N Series. This has confirmed my initial assumptions and helped me make an informed choice before putting down my hard earned cash. Thnx.

Thank you for this great review.
I love the K series and for me it was a shame that last year the K750 came with no 3G capability. How could they do that with such a great phone in this 3G era??? when in the same period lower range phones like the V600 had it.
With the K800, am fully happy again and excited as I was 2 years ago with the release of the K700. As I am due for upgrade in about 2 months, I hope by that time it will be available.
As a plastic surgeon in training, I am also excited that I won't need to carry a phone and a camera anymore.
I pray SE has also improved the phonebook capacity on this phone. 500 entries is ridiculously small.

I wasn´t be sure about my new phone. I would like a phone with a 3Mp camera, mp3...And after read your review, I´m going to wait
the new SE phone. With the red eyes cheking and the image stabilizer, I think is the perfect phone for take pictures in the disco or in this moments that you don´t have your camera...Great work!!

Great comparison, i was sure i wanted the n80 before having read this. I would certainly wait for the Sony Ericsson if it wasn't for the poor video, i don't suppose that this will improve before release? I may still be tempted to go for the n80 but i'm now debating whether to go for the n93 which comes out later and isn't as good to look at but has amazing video capabilities.
