I think if u can ignore the symbian part, then w810 is superior to N72...and SE replaced the w800 with the w810..in tht price band (12-13k) , it doesnt have any other conflicting model from SE itself.. so probably SE is still keeping its prices high..When its life cycle will come to an end and SE will have another model ready in tht price band, its price will come down too..just what happened with K750i..its replacement, k550i has come..so its prices have dipped to 9k range..Now k550 commands a price tag of 11k..it'll probably settle down to 10k after a few months..and k750i will be gone forever..
As for nokia reducing n72's price, there are other things which made the price of this phone come down...it has a buggy interface which is notoriously known to hang and restart..its battery life is below average..these are probably the reasons why nokia decided to reduce its price because demand was low at the price of 15k... The N70 on the other hand, being supposedly a model a step below n72 (but the n70 has dual cams and is 3g), still commands a price of 13k for the normal version and 15k for music edition..thts cos there is still demand for this phone...I dont understand why nokia decided to name it N70...:S it shud have been something like n74 or n75...cos its way better than n72..
I think the w810 is not really worth its price at all now..there are much better phones from Nokia and SE itself, which sport a lower price tag and are better equipped than the w810..:hap5:
