Can't decide between the K790a and the N75...

I'm going to buy a phone within the next month or so and was primarily looking at the K790a, esp. since I didn't think tne N75 would be out until Decemeber, but from what I've been reading now the N75 could be out as soon as November.

That said, I need help deciding. I figured I'd be getting the K790a since I've always wanted a decent camera that could be used when I would be in situations without a camera (all my digi cameras themselves cost $600-$2K+ and are not conveninet for nights out, etc), but the N75 looks so sexy. They both have beautiful screens (QVGA) and decent cameras (though the K790a trumps the N75). I think the S60 features of the N75 would be nice as I'm jsut returning a PDA I bought (lack of keyboard really killed it, plus I just synched up with my computer all the time, as I plan to with the N75 or K790), but I do not use Cingular's internet services and thust the 3G features of the N75 would be lost on me.

The N75 seems smaller by the specs, though they seem to be around similar in terms of overall volume. Battery life I suspect would be better with the K790a, although my lack of 3G on the N75 may be a factor which I have not fully considered.

In the end, I need a little help, esp. from people who can give me a decent idea of when the N75 will come out, have played with it, etc because I am very conflicted as to which one of these phones I should pick up...
 
Definitely get the k790a. If the camera is important, it cannot be beat. The n75 battery life will be bad. The k790a is just an overall great performer. You cant go wrong with it
 
Doesn't the K790a have a 3.2MP camera? I think that is great because you actually get good pictures from a phone. I played with the N75 and it looks sweet, but didnt blow me away.
 
Camera is important to me, and it has 3.2MP with Autofocus. I think I will go that way. I had a S710, and while it was nice, the camera didn't justify the bulk. I always wanted a small camera to take with me on casual occasions but would always forget to bring one, so I do think the K790a would be nice.

Battery life with the N75 is bad, huh?
 
I don't even know much about the N73. Does anyone have any links which sum its features up? And what is the price range of the N73? The phone has 850MHz since you are suggesting, right?
 
N73 is a bit too much. I'm waiting for Buy.com to get the K790a back in stock and I'll order it from them for $385 ($400 - $15 coupon I found floating around the net).

As sweet as the N73 and N75 are, they have a few features (namley the 3G) which would just be useless for me, and as such, I would be wasting my money on them.
