IMHO... it's kinda imba to compare a smartphone (N73) to k800i but in terms of a non-smartphone I wouldn't say k800i is the best but I would rank it as the top few phones in the market

Apart from the Sharp 903 (which is Vodafone exclusive) and the D900/D870, there is no other 3 megapixel non-smartphone phones for the K800 to be compared to. The closest competitors are the Nokia 6233 and to some extent the V3x, and the V3xx. The K800 is more superior than any of the above though. None can trounce it.
But a more realistic battle would be it and the Nokia N series. N80, N73 and the N93 in particular, but that's a bit unfair, especially with the far higher prices.

A well-known Dutch comparing-site (NewMobile) compared photos from K800i, N73, N93 and LG KG920 (5mp!). Overall, the K800i came out the best
. This was on photo-quality only, you can't compare non-symbian phones to Symbian ones, which cost twice as much.

The comparison must be made by price bracket and sorry but the n73 is just 40euros more expensive. So it's the same price bracket. And imo the n73 outbest k800 in all matters even in pix except in night mode thanks to the xenon flash.

what i basically wanted to say is that SE is yet to come up with a handset that people will see and go wow. LG Choc. in one such handset, D600 was another and now the D900. RAZR was extremely popular bec. of its innovative design. When is SE going to come up with such sets?

The N73 is rubbish IMO, it looks ugly and is slightly bigger then the K800I and feels plasticy. It looks like it's thin until you pick it up and it's not and it's uses as a camera phone are limited due to the silly LED flash Nokia are using at the moment so that Carl Zies lens is a waste of time. It might be much more functional but it's also harder to use.
The K800I is by far the easiest camera phone there is to use due to SE's brilliant interface, the camera is fast and functional, it may not take great video's but it can still take them but the camera is brilliant. To me the K800I DOES have the WOW factor, pick it up and it oozes class and feels very solid, it's also come out top in every review of it and most will say it's the best camera phone you can buy.
Yes the LG chocolate has the WOW factor but it pails in comparison on features to the K800I and that's why it's king.
Nokia are just playing catch up to SE with there camera phones as SE beat them to it with auto focus and other camera features. But it will switch round if SE launch a 'handycam' phone because of the very inovative if huge N93.
I also think the K800I is going to be THE phone of the year, it's got very good deals on it on all networks and like I said jo blogs non techy man will pick it up and see that a 5 year old can use it let alone them, if you look around you'll see they are creeping up everywhere, I see a lot of people with the N70 but I bet most of them use less then half the phones power and functions, they probably just like the look of it so give them something that they can use and looks just as good if not better and your onto a winner.

Nokia were playing catchup, and now they are neck to neck with SE. D900 and N93's camera are the same, if not better in quality than SE.

Samsung are the only brand that treat their cameras seriously. Have a look at this review, some of the features offered are something SE can only dream of giving.
The only new thing they gave is bestpic and the ammature audience went nuts over it.
