I'm interested in a new Symbian device. Anyone have the E70, N80, and/or N73? I'm curious as to the device differences and signal strengths.

I appreciate your help...
 
Cool, I've had all three. I've stuck with the N73 right now because of bad experiences with both the E70 and N80 that, I honestly believe outweigh wifi and/or a keyboard on the devices. The N80 had terrible battery life, recorded disgusting video, and took sub-par photos for a 3.2mp camera, when you would manage to stay still long enough to take them. I've reviewed the E70, which you can find in my sig. My main compaint was that the reception was terrible, and it appears to be that way even with the 850 variant, E70-2. The E70 also suffers from an additional lack of RAM when using the QWERTY keyboard.

I haven't had any problems with my N73, shy of accidentally bricking it with NSU and having to send it in to be revived. Solid phone overall and you really get the most for your buck.
 
Thanks!

By coincidence, I happened to find some information to illustrate my point even further while browsing x1387's ebay seller page. He has the N73 listed at $449.38 ad the N80 at $429.38 ($20 MORE!) and the N80 had been sitting at a little over $500 for a long time.
 
btw, i dunno how the web browsing experience is like on the N80 but i simply can NOT go to any other phone that doesn't have nokia's new browser that comes w/ the N73 now.

let's put it this way: i read about it, had high expectations for it, and it still blew me away. it's that good.

i have to say one minor disappointment for me is that the n73's camera isn't as good as the w810i if you use it in low light situations (out w/ friends at night, etc). the N73's resolution is definitely higher, but it seems like the color reproduction isn't quite as good. of course.. there's no lens cover for the w810i, which in my mind is a big no no. and the SE interface truly blows, IMHO.
