yes it is, lol

the autofocus / macro mode of the K800 wins it for me.

its not. just need to set it up properly.

we have both in the office next to each other. the K800 takes better pictures.

have to agree with this... mate had the n80 for a week and has now swapped for a k800, which i have. No doubt in my mind that the se is the better imaging phone. autofocus makes a world of difference.

Does the N80 support A2DP so stereo bluetooth headphones can be used?

Nope, only the P990, M600, W850 and W950 will be supporting A2DP, which is a good thing as i got a nice bluetooth wireless headset the other day..the HBH-DS970 i think...expensive but what a lovely piece of kit...sadly doesnt allow me to listen to mp3s on my w810i but waiting for my p990i which will allow me to use that function.

Doh...thats no good!

Yas786 · 17 Jul 2006 at 12:40

Ooops forgot thats the SE range of phones, dunno about nokia tbh....

roakes · 17 Jul 2006 at 12:42

Ah there is hope then, prefer to stick with Nokia really just need to work out which one to get that will be useful as an MP3 player but I can still use for satnav (ie. has a decent sized screen)

not its not lol.

Then you need to head off to specsavers tbh, the n80 camera absolutely sucks eggs. Even compared to my W810i, which is a 2mp camera...it took better pics than the n80. The n80 camera has washed out colours, no auto focus which is highly stupid of nokia tbh...trust me ive used the n80 camera and i found it extremely lacking. I mean WTF is the point of having a 3mp camera but no auto focus?? :confused:

.

I would imagine the k800i camera completely blows the n80 camera out of the water and thats not because its a 3.2mp camera either

Ive gotta agree with everyone else here.
Ive seen the photos the N80 takes, and they arnt that good.
Even my W800i beats it.
You can argue its not set up right and whatnot, but theres not a whole lot of setting up to do!
Disregarding the point that you should have to 'set it up' anyway.
Ive heard a lot of reports of the bad camera on the N80.
Its a good phone, feature wise, but the camera is the bad point of the phone.

i own the phone and the camera quality is fine in my eyes, but i never bought it for the camera. as for glasses i own a 500 pound pair of oakleys son

Anyone who thinks the N80 takes photos as good as the K800 are just kidding themselves. However, with regards to the question of what is good enough, the N80 is more than adequate for the occassional snap. I don't think either the N80 or K800 could replace a dedicated digi-cam though.

Why are you on about glasses?
If its alright for you, then good for you. But you cannot say that the camera quality is anywhere near a good camera phone.

I find people who defend new stuff funny.

its not supposed to be based around the camera tht wasnt the selling point of the n80 but it was for the k800i.

I find the n80 camera, during the day outside/inside with DECENT lighting, very good. The lack of autofocus is a real pain though, occasionally you will get a good shot out of it mind......

Overall i love my N80 because of the symbian OS, real pig tom tom doesnt work with it yet though.
