I am planning to buy a new mobile. My choices are Nokia N73 and Sony Ericsson K790i. Which one is better? :)
It must a good music and camera phone.

se 790i anyday.

however if u want the added advantage of s60 and can compromise a little on the music part, then n73 rocks!

Both are good (in fact, great) phones.
If you are a symbian fan then get N73.
Or if you want exceptional camera then get K790i.

BTW, I believe we have already done a huge discussion over this.

@ajayashish
is K810i's music quality thru earphones comparable to walkmans?
I was askin coz K550i's earphone quality comes nowhere near even my old W700i.

And how is the loudspeaker of K790i or K810i?

The earplugs are not the same as Walkman phone but the sound is almost the same...

If u want a better quality video(.mp4,qvga) go for n73.But n73 is a bit slower & hangs quite a bit(courtesy:symbian os).Also n73 speaker seems to be a bit more louder.

In everything else,k 790 rocks considering the price..

i feel n73me is good
you should have a look at it properly
and other thing is i think that phone interface is slow.

It may be possible that slow interface issue in N73 ME must have been solved by installing the latest firmware.
