SE W890i - Does It Beat N73 & K810i ???

[iatb.gourav]

hii guys.

i read lots and lots of reviews before posting this.
And I found 1 common thing.

On one side, almost all "reviews" gave a fantastic image of w910i and claimed it to be one of the best buys.
On the contrary, almost 70% of user reviews claimed that their w910i had hanging/restarting problems.

I had almost made up my mind to get this phone.
Now it seems I'll be getting a N73 ME ...

I hope I am taking the right decision.

wats wrong wit w890i? as far as hanging issues go, n73 is the king of all!! dunno if its fixed in the new firmware, and if it is, then SE shd be out wit a firmware update too that shd fix 910i hanging issues..

I had w910i lagging problems but after updating with SUES, its fine...

W910i has hotkey to view images (2 buttons above screen), I bet your N73 dont have this...

^^ No N73 doesn't have two buttons above the display. It has one button on the right to launch the Gallery.

I have heard N73 giving better pictures than K790i when you adjust settings like ISO etc.
In default settings K790i is good.

The camera quality is debatable when we compare K790i and N73. But surely K810i has a better camera than N73.

AFAIK both K790i and K810i have same hardware, including the camera.

 

[azzu]

yes ur right krazzy
and k790i beats n73
as my personal Xperiance

Yeah, hardware is almost the same. But not exactly same.

K790i has EDGE whereas K810i has UMTS (3g) and also a better battery as SE claims...
K810i also has Photo Fix which improves upon the photo quality and also a better Camera driver. Plus, K810i also has Track ID and Video Calling. But it lacks PicBridge which K790i has.......

 

[iatb.gourav]

The camera quality is quite a debatable issue.
I've always believed that SE produces the best camera phones.
But, this review says something else : *www.tech2.com/india/topstuff/multi...dget-wars-mobile-cameras-n73-vs.-k790i/4173/0

Secondly, I like the flash themes in SE phones which is present only in W-series (I didn't know about this before).

I was preferring SE K810i only for 2 reasons.
1. Better Cam
2. Flash Themes

Now, since 1st issue is debatable and 2nd one is not present in k810i , I don't find a reason to buy K810i.

As far as w910i is concerned, the camera has really disappointed me (and many others too) .
Plus, the "shake-me" feature to change songs is totally useless.
I won't spend 15k just for the motion sensor.
And as I am not really a music buff, walkman does not make a "huge" difference to me.

Now, since I always believed in "all-in-one" kind of phones, the N73 ME gets the first preference in my mind.

K810i or N73 ME - Which one should be bought? This is definitely a difficult decision to make.

But, I have the feeling that keeping future trends in mind, one should go for a smartphone having a Symbian OS which N73 ME has..

 

[iatb.gourav]

^^^^ Yups, exactly.
That's what I said in my last post.

One more thing guys,
Can you all tell me about w830i.
Though it belongs to the same price segment I've read/heard very little about it.
I can only tell that it has "fantastic" looks.
But, what about the rest of the features ???

W830i has a 2mp camera with Flash. Its a Walkman phone but still it lacks Walkman player. It has EDGE but it isn't 3g (lacks UMTS and Video Call). And it doesn't have A2DP....

It has a twin bro called W850i.
W850i also has a 2mp camera with flash but it also lacks Walkman player. Its 3g but it lacks EDGE and yeah it has A2DP....

@gourav - I think that u must go 4 N73 ME...I am also in favor of it now after reading the link that u had posted...N73 ME's shots have come out 2 b brighter than K810is...

Music wise N73 ME is definitely better than K810i already...

 

[yogi7272]

i hear someone say .. se produces the best camera phones .. i think someone should go and check out " n82 " .. and its not even a camera phone as such,but a smart phone ..

as for the topic goes .. k790i and k810i has same exact camera hardware .. software may be different ..

 

[dreamcatcher]

^^^yea thats the k850 won the best cellphone award from engadget..both readers and editors...things have changed dude..new and better firmwares have come up for the k850 and it beats n82 any day

 

[yogi7272]

yup dude.. u are the only guy who seems to find k850i better than n82 .. even new n82 firmware is out for ur kind info ..

dont want to get in any bekar debate about which is better ..ur happy with ur se great .. i am very much satisfied with my n82 8gb ..

 

[uppalpankaj]

Hey yogi7272, tell me how is ur experience with N82.. I am planning 2 buy one soon dude...Should I go 4 it without any problems...

[yogi7272]

Is it so difficult for you to grasp the fact that when K850i won that award it wasn't competing against N82? How many times do I have to tell this that these two phone were in difficult categories? If Shahrukh Khan was nominated for Best Actor and he won and Aamir Khan was nominated for Best Director and he didn't won, does that make Shahrukh better than Aamir?

As for K850i being better than N82, that is a major lie. N82 beats K850i black and blue in each and every aspect. There is nothing in K850i that is better than N82. Its a simple fact; You pay less, you get less.

yup..me,engadget and their readers..
