N93 v K800i

was going to order the N93, but the guy I spoke to in a shop today was really banging on about the K800i, I'm now confused, any recommendations? I'm wanting it for taking video/ some photos, the twist screen on the N93 really appeals cause it looks like it'll be easier to hold it steady in a club/ the big screen should make it easier to see what I'm doing, but the size of it does make me think it might be better going for the K800i, anyone got any recommendations?

In photo mode, the reviews sais that K800i is better, for now.
But in video mode, forget K800i. Nothing compares with N93.
After that, is a question of "smart" / "non smart" phone and a lot of others things.

I guess it matter what you want your phone to do also. If it's camera only then the k800i might be the best option, especially as you said using it in a club and the N93 got a bad write up when taking photos in anything but good lighting conditions. The N93 seems to be awesome at video recording (again, best in decent light).

The K800i is, when you get round to it, a bog standard phone. The N93 is a smart phone, i.e., interesting ;-)

Well my n93 should appear at my house tomorrow from www.mobilshop.com

My reasons for buying it...
2 half years ago i got a new job and thought i would treat my self to a spanking phone. so i got a s.e p900. I love it. But my original thinking was to buy this phone so i could lissen to mp3's on it and make use of it symbian software. The camera wasnt such a big deal.
Over the last 2 and half years, i think i have lissened to music on it twice but taken loads of video and photos.

sooo thats why i bought my self a n93 for its video and photo quality.
+ plus the symbian software
+ i can see wifi connection being a huge benefit to!

I am at work now un soooo exicited about my new phone yay!!!!

And if Wi-Fi is important, must be N93!

Pleased you're happy. Just the slight weight penalty is the downside plus the keypad letters are not painted landscape. Other than this, its fine imo.
