hello..

umm....P990i is professional, most important it has touch screen. Depends on what u wanna do with the phone. N73 ME is good enough as a phone though

B

well can any1 help me out..
any1 who hs compared da music n camera bwet da 2 phones

H

n73 or even 6708 or 02

what type of comparison is this N73 to SE P990i?

N73 has to be compared with SE 790i by the way there is no alternative to SE P990i in Nokia, go for a Windows Mobile based mobile instead....

I would suggest you go for N73 ME. It is a very good smartphone with a great interface and good amount apps and games available already. It has a great camera and very good music capability. Also comes with a 2gb micro SD.

kk thanks alot. n 1 more thing i heard da mobile rates are gonna slash down in da new budget. is it true? if yes hw long shd i wait b4 da new prices are implemented

well, thats a bad comparison... u cant compare an n73 with a p990i...
a p990 costs arnd 30k+ i guess... and an n73 wud dent u by arnd 21-22k... (not completely sure abt the prices... :))

but whteva, if ur budget's that high, u might as well go for an n90, n92 or n90... they're made for photography... add a 2gb card and ure set for music...
or just go for a pocket pc....

^^ N92 isn't available in India, atleast i haven't seen it yet in shops. And its not meant for photography, but more for mobile televiewing (it has DVBH). And N90 is quiet old now. It wasn't too great when it was new anyway (K750i could beat it in camera quality and it cost much less). N93 ME is much better. But i do agree that comparing N73 ME with P990i is wrong as they hardly have anything in common.
And about mobile prices dropping, yeah its true that post-budget cell phone prices are gonna drop. I think they must have started dropping by now.

i cant be sure, but i think that the n92's here.... atleast the huge banners on the nokia shops promoting the n-series show it..... and moreover, the wudnt really come out with an separate n92 advert on tv if it aint here.... but then, thats just logic, practically, i wudnt know if its here... lolzz... hell!! i reckon i've seen subhash ghai promoting this fone in some random contest!...

and well, the video quality is killer.... that duznt mean that the imaging would be worse? its not really like handycams and digicams... but imo, if the video quality is real good, the image quality would automatically be a lot better....

Are you sure its N92. From what you're talking, i think you are talking about N93 which has a 3.2 mpix camera with auto focus and 3x optical zoom and VGA video recording at 30 fps. N92 just has a basic 2 mpix camera and video recording which is similar to N70. Also N92 has been launched in select countries and i don't think its available in india since we don't yet have DVBH which is the USP of N92.

i think its n93i..

K

^^ Yeah could be. Btw i've seen this N93i in alfa and the thing looks damn sexy. Makes the N93 look like scrap in comparison. The two phones side-by-side looks like an Ambassador being parked besides a Gallardo.

yep.. Definitely.. It s much sleeker than n93..

kk thanks 4 da help.. i guess im gonna zero in on N73 ME.. hey hs any1 tried making nokia N73ME into IE ??

hahahaaaaaa.... gallardo ambassador comparison...!!!! this thread is the odds man!!

but i guess an ambassador can run over a gallardo like a bulldozer.... if it catches up with the gallardo ie.... hehehhhhhh

@bruce wayne, dude, IE stands for internet edition, which i guess are toned down versions of nice models, like the n91 ie, it wuz a wi-fi less version of the n91... i might be wrong, but i guess the ME is a lot better than the IE....

n73 is essentially a music fone...
so one wd prefer ME to IE.. neways ther s not much difference between the normal n73 and IE

i disagree... its a normal fone... could say a bit inclined to photography...
they just hooked it up with a big memory card, and the music s/w... and a diff colour... its pretty much the same thing...

Is there an IE version of N73 available too??? I thought only N80 had IE version.

i would suggest go for o2 atom exec...

ENJoy...
