E65 Vs N73

storka

Hi all i'm looking to get a new phone and finally Meteor have some decent phones! Been looking at reviews of both and they seem like good phones. So basically looking for anyone who has used either of them and what their opinions are!
Thanks!

N73 has a better cam, but keypad is a little small to txt at first. Software can be slow to load on both. Like the slide design of the E65. Sat nav on N73 works great I use it all the time (not inc with phone, have to buy separtely)

Thanks Don. TBH its between the better camera of the N73 and the Wi-Fi on the E65. I've also read the E65 has some nice little apps on it.
Anyone that has the E65 do you use the Wi-Fi much when your out (is this even possible i.e. many free spots around the city?) or is it just at home?

have th e65 use the wi-fi a bit but it really kills the battery on it, as for apps it come with the like of an office reader but you can download a load of free sotware includes a GPS software, you need an external bluetooth aerial ( a cheapy on the way from ebay)

The E65 has some good MS Office compatible apps and a PDF Reader as well which is handy plus it's more compact. It also reads your text messages out which is kinda cool if you're in the car! It's also much more compact - I was very disappointed with the camera though even for a 2mp it's terrible - no auto focus and there are very few settings on it unlike say on the SE K750i.
Overall the E65 is more business orientated - but if they'd put a decent camera on it they would have had the perfect phone IMO.

Thanks for all the advice guys. Just been reading the E65 doesnt have a radio so I think beacuse of that i'll go with N73. Would love the Wi-Fi of the E65 but realistically Dublin doesn't seem to have the infrastructure to warrant it!

Hey Tony - what kind of GPS antenna did you get as a matter of interest?
Do u have a link to it?

Does anyone know a store with the N73 in stock? My local one in Blanchardstown hasn't got it.
