k790i or 5700? · DIGIT-ARC

A

hi guys i want buy a phone.. i'm totally confused..
i have two phones in my mind. k790i and 5700.
i want looks, and i want fast internet, i take photos too, i use music very often cause i ve an ipod video. i want my phone to be very fast.
so could anyone please suggest me which one to buy?
and i heard 5700 has gps? is it present in k790i?
and when is 5610 getting released..
please suggest me. and how is moto ming?

Nokia 5700 is better

K790i suits your needs better. Good looks, excellent camera, good music and a fast UI. 5610 might be available after a month or so. Ming does not have a good camera that you need. Otherwise its quiet decent too. Also 5700 does not have gps. However you can connect a gps accessory to K790i.

+1 for K790i

5700

See today's advertisement by Sony Ericsson. 1GB memory card free with K790i and 2GB memory card free with K810i. Grab it when the offer is there. The camera of 5700 is no match to the Cybershot range. And it doesn't have GPS.

I would suggest u take a look at N73ME.Good camera & excellent sound quality.

For cam k790i.. For evything else 5700..

why 5700 go for K790i it has better camera you will even get a 1GB memory card free with it and you can also buy a HPM-70 with it
but if you want a better screen you may have to go with the 5700

Also 5700 & N73ME has powerfull symbian OS,which lets u install apps,games etc.In k790i u will be able to install only java apps.

also check bazaar section, some guy is selling just a week old K790i with 1 GB card.

k790i +2

i own k790 last mounth the cam is verry good but i think it is very big because of lance cover and joystick is totally s**k
for music it is as good as w801i if u play song from HPM-70 headphone
the default hpm-65 not good for song
u get k790 for 14000-14500k with 1gb memory slot

5700

I'd say wait for 5610 if you can, else get the K790i!

why not go for N73ME .tech2.com has reviewed k790i and n73me and found the camera of n73me to be much better than k790i.u also get a great music phone with several bundled accesories and a 2GB card.

+10 for N73ME

K790i Camera > N73 Camera

K790i's Xenon flash gives really good results in low-light conditions. You just need to keep your hand steady! The flash has a range of 2-3m. A simple LED flash just can't compete with the Xenon!

N73's Daylight pics without post processing look better than that of K790i's BUT at the cost of sharpness (picture details) and by artificially saturating the colour. Once the sharpness is lost it's gone forever!

On a K790i you can do the post processing later! Pics after simple touch-ups look much better than that of N73 as they are more detailed.

Hope this clears up the confusion.

^^ but they showed the photographs taken by both the phones and it was clearly visible that the picture clarity was much better for n73.

i agree that zenon flash makes this phone suitable for low light shooting but when closeup images r taken then the flash is too harsh and reflects back too much.

Neither 5700 nor K790i have inbuilt GPS, and AFAIK, u can connect external GPS adaptor with N5700 too.....
K790i has better camera, but N5700 has bigger screen, Symbian OS, very nice audio... but the fone looks a bit funky...
My vote for N5700...

K 790 I

it all boils down to whether he wants the cam or not..
If he needs it then k790i> n73me> 5700
if not then n73me>5700>k790i..

sorry for being dumb but How does GPS works on 5700. Do i need something special

A

hi guys i want to use internet too.. i mean i'll get connected thru bluetooth in my comp.. which one is faster i heard someone was gettin 20kbps download speed in 5700.. is it true?

@sukhdeep you ll need a bluetooth gps receiver
@adithya the speeds depend on ur area as well... btw yea 5700 ll give u the highest speeds

Thanks pathiks...I see Bluetooth GPS receiver are very expensive. Around 4000-5000....is that right bro ?

^^ dude u must be blind if u find k790's display better than 5700's.. Also the 5700 sound quality is too good on the default headsets u get wit it.. Afaik SE is bound to hav a faster ui as it doesnt allow multitasking

Dont say crap about 5700 display. IT has 16 Million color display. Watch a movie on it and you will know what i am talking about

@pathiks-yeah right.

A

hi guys i bought n73 me..
the phone is too slow.. cam is not as good as in k790i.. i compared with my frens phone.. icons don look good..

@ ADitiya,

update the firmware, that will make it faster.

Set the white balence, & read a few tutorials about Mobile cam pics. Make sure u have enough light.

U don't like the Icons? Fine....change the theme.

What do u mean the fone is slow?? Remove all the unnecessary crap and update the firmware..

How does the site matters when you have the pics to prove yourselves? Tech2 did the comparitive review using all the variations of the settings available. That is what makes the difference.

Even i have seen that when using the simple general settings, sony gives better results. But then, we dont use the camera suited to the situation.

@adithya_s
What is its firmware version? You can check by pressing these keys on the standby screen - *#0000#
If it is not v4, then go to www.nokia.com/softwareupdater and download it. Then connect your phone and upate it to the latest firmware. Make sure your battery is full charged beforehand.
v4 is extremely fast and quick responsive. i am really amazed by its speed. Even after installing the applications, it is so fast.
