N80 or K800?

I have to say I dont like the sticky out bit of the camera lens on the K800, but from what I've heard its worth it, as the camera is the business

Anyone know what CPU the nokia has? If its the same as it has been for the last 5 years (Since I got my 7650 5 yrs ago they all seem to be 204mhz ones) Running the symbian software, itll be same phone as previous nokias with the odd new feature, Im waiting for them to ramp the speed up finally and chuck in some decent 3d rederer! (Current one is good, plays doom etc, but is a little old) :(

From Pants post:

Texas Instrument describes the 2420 as a "smartphone on a chip"

The 2420 has a five-fold performance increase over the OMAP1710 used in today's high end smartphones, and around a 100 fold increase in floating point operations.

Sony Ericsson's P990 smartphone, and Nokia's N series and E series are the first devices to feature the 2420 and EKA2, and both have chosen to increase the feature set rather than slash the BoM cost. In almost all of these devices, the manufacturer has opted for a higher density screen and Wi-Fi.

What this means is a faster processor which can hadle 100 fold increase in floating points, one powerfull processor and not two saving Nokia money which is invested into high res screens and Wi-Fi such as the N80, the roumar about the 330mhz processor i believe is true.

From memory:

7650/3650/N-Gage/6600 = 104Mhz
7610/6670/3230 = 123Mhz
6630/6680/N70 = 220Mhz
N71/N80/N91/N92/E60/E61/E70/etc/etc/etc = 330Mhz

The speed of the CPU has steedily increased over the years, but I would assume the complexity of the operating system has too.

If you want to see how 3D performance has increased, there was a thread about 3DMark benchmark results floating about once. I'm sure a site has benchmarked all of the phones using the tool.

Ahh, nice, I didnt realise


I had a 7650 and now I have a 7610, which is a few generations infront, however seems to have *exactly* the same features as the phone released 4 years previous (Albeit a better camera)

I love nokia smartphones thats why I got it, but I have doom on the original 7650 and now, 4 years in the future I still have doom being the best graphics game on my phone, I thought either the CPU was the same (As the software apart from minor revisions) or they just got lazy and didnt make any decent 3d games to play, obviously the power has increased, but there lazy :(

Any idea when the N80 will be released? I'll be in the market for a new phone come August and this is top of the list at the mo.

its been pushed to April 26th, also, its not gonna be a cheap phone (at vodafone anyway :rolleyes: ), the N70 was £150 on the Anytime 75 tariff, and the N80 will be £350 on Anytime 75 :eek:
 
Ouch... I take it Vodaphone will get it before anyone else, and us Orange customers will be waiting another 6 months just to get a heavily branded one then yeah?

I would think orange would have it out by may-ish time, thats about the time 02 will have it as well. But ill be buying mine sim free, yes means i will pay a lot more but then i dont have to worry about stupid operator branding etc and i wont have to tie myself up to an 18 or 12mth contract. Suits me just fine as i can release myself from my contract whenever i like.

If thats true, I might aswell get one sim free as I doubt it will cost much more than £500 off contract - is there any confirmed sim free pricing yet?...

Also guaranteesnone of the stupid operator software...

Was hoping to pick this up with the new FlexT WnW tariffs with the 25% off for life - no chance of that I guess :(

Place i per-ordered from have it up for £600 for the N80 but thats not a final confirmed price, wont know till they get them in stock and i really hope ot god they get the black ones in...thats the one that has me currently drooling.
 
i mean that will be the standard shop price, im sure if you go for a tariff more suited to you and bargain abit (especially ordering over the phone) it will be a lot cheaper.

That works out quite well for me then as my upgrade will be end of July/early August, by which time the first batch will have been out and problems addressed, and the price may have dropped a little too.

I managed to get my 6680 debranded for £20 too and have been very happy with it, so will be doing the same again with the N80 I think.

I plan to get it for free (hopefully) on contract.

Thats all dependant on how much you spend a month, how long you been with them. If your a low user then it doesnt make a blind bit of difference to them as they wont mind losing a low user customer as your not really making them any money. The high user customers are the ones that they will keep as they are the ones who make them the money, much like me lol.....o2 dont really want me to leave. Ringing every other day asking me to re-new my contract...im not re-newing just yet.
 
I had a play with an N80 the other night and was well impressed. Not paying top dollar for one though.
 
The N80 (and also N91 actually) is now listed on o2's 'coming soon' page, and should be out mid-May so i've been told :)

Suits me dow to the ground as my upgrade is in the first week of June :D

t3h :cool:
 
From what ive been reading on the net, it seems like the N91 and N80 will be shipping this week if im not mistaken...which means great stuff as i can finally get rid of the 6680, which is slow and cumbersome. Just hope the n80 is a faster model as i cant deal with the slowness of the 6680 anymore.
