N80 or K800i?

K800i out of the two models.

N80 is too big, a bit slow and the slider "grates" sometimes which is annoying.

Saying that about the N80, I do want the N95 when it comes out.

But in this case the K800i all the way.

I was going to wait for the GPS enabled N95, but have read so many horror stories about symbian and N Series. Hence why I am looking to step away from Nokia for the first time in 10 years! If only the K800i had wi-fi.

Each to their own.

I always had Nokia then went to SE and back to Nokia E60 the symbian system works fine for me.

You have 14 days to return it anyway if it goes wrong or you hate it.

I am looking to join Orange and they seem to have no GPRS or WAP allowance. How do you watch TV without costing a fortune?

Currently Orange are offering the 3G TV service for free for 2 months to new customers. This also includes 30 mins 3G video calling and I also believe free evening and weekend GPRS usage. After the 2 months orange state that they text you askign you whether you wish to carry on subscribing to the TV service for £5 a month. Also 3G video calling would then cost 30p a min to orange phones and 60p (i think) to other networks. So overall a not bad offer for 2 months, i thought i would give it a go, but remember use this at off peak times. There's an FAQ section when you go to sign up for the service which is pretty handy.

Can anyone get cheaper than this?

£189.99 plus there is a 10% off code about which will bring it down to about £170.00 plus Quidco 2.5%.

If only Sony Ericsson had put wi-fi into a phone like the K800i

I was a Nokia fan until I tried a Sony Ericsson 3 years ago... haven't looked back, SE are lighter, more stylish and work better IMO. If anyone is getting the K800i with Orange I would flash it / debrand it to use the phone as SE intended, found the Orange layout more complicated / less user friendly.

This k800i is my third SE phone, of all the ones I had I think the W800i was the best. Had a w810i after that but it didn't work as well. The k800i works well, it's just bulkier than the w800 series. The camera is fantastic though!

Complete review, with many pictures. K800 (without the i) beats the 80
