Go for K810 if you prefer capturing good still images and N73 if you want to take quality videos as it records in CIF(correct me if i am wrong) format.i think there is no walkman supporting 3.2 mp cam for now.

You have the K790i , it has a 3.2Mp camera. But i would suggest you to take N73 ME. It has the better OS, S60v3, so you can do a lot more with your phone than any SE W or K phone.

Hey who said only k810i, he could also go for k790i, N73. Both have cool cameras, plus N73 also has awesome music. Plus it has the S60 advantage over the SE phones.

"good camera" "decent music"..... my interpretation: cam quality factor has higher priority than music. the best in that range: k810i... again.. opinions are not alike. this is jus my opinion.

cheers :)

Samsung D900i & U600 may be considered for a combination of looks and music mobile with cam of 3.2MP with autofocus!

If I were him, I'd blindly grab a P990i. But your friend's needs seem to be different. According to me, the N73 ME should suit him perfectly.

k810i music with good headphones either equals or beats n73me

K810i is da way to go. Best 3.2MP camera in its class, with a Photo Fix. yea, video is still in ancient QCIF Format, dats da pain in da *** with SE phones. Music is alwayz exciting with SE phones. N73ME,is O.K.,too saturated photos with no reality, poster like. Symbian is no gud, no practical sense. Many cell phone experts dont really prefer Symbian OS. Go 4 SE.

^^A typical SE fan just boasting about K810i...
Both K810i and N73ME are good phones and both have their downsides...
@ask_win
You need to jot down your requirements and then decide...
N73 ME:If you need symbian+good camera(better video quality)
K810i : Good Loudspeakers..well thats it :p
Looks can be debatable...so thats upto you..
And yeah let me tell you...with good earphones N73 ME is at par with W810i...personally tested both...

u forgot the main feature... the CAM... the photos, the pictures...... it brutally murders every other phone in that range out there....

i dunno if its only my opinion (oh i see somebody elso too who has similar thots!).. but the pics taken by n73me look too artificial. the contrast, the colour balance everything.. a more correct word wud be: gaudy pics. which i don't find in any of SE phones, even my w700i. the pics and prints are as close as possible to the natural things. again, i kno u can adjust all these settings, but who'd wanna keep adjusting every setting for each photo clicked. again.. its jus my opinion based on my observation. don't flame me for this!! :D
