Lack of wifi capability makes me choose N80

Yeah... Same as me

if you can search from youtube, there is a video clip teaching how to dismantle the phone

Have anybody success change the casing aaa...

Anybody mind telling me whats the difference between the IE version and the normal one?

hardware wise both of the handset are identical..
the only difference is IE　version have an extra Internet folder on your phone menu

yup its true...i have been facing the same problem......my warranty just expired on september 2007....go to nokia centre just to have peace of mind ..then they quote rm 360....they said have to change the ribbon..lcd..???i think changing lcd is not necessary....i have changed lcd screen for my canon digital camera..we only change lcd if it is broken!!!!! or the life span of nokia lcd is only one year!!!

taken back my phone.....they charge rm 25 for checking..nevermind...i dont want to loose more...this week try to get my friend to check....what a horrible experience for me after using nokia for almost 6 years ( from 3210...3310..7650..n80)considering more robust phone like samsung or opt for dopod/htc

Thankz for the link

changed the slider??
what is there to change? as far as i know, there's nothing much to be changed for the sliding mechanism, cause N80 is not spring loaded, there's just 2 piece of metal on left and right holding the upper and lower piece, and 1 piece of metal to provide the grip only.. the grip/tight/firm feeling when u slide the phone is basically the friction of the metal piece on the phone body, and the metal piece will eventually go slightly out of shape, and hence, loose slider..
the grip can be made firm again by bending the center metal piece, and no changing of parts needed.. i hope u're not paying RM120 to nokia centre just to have that small piece of metal bended..
RM80 for the ribbon is considered expensive too.. but if u say u're paying the premium for peace of mind, then it's your choice loh.. i'm just trying to let u know that all the problem can be solved for less than RM50 if u have any trusted technician.. mine is repaired at cost price that would simply sound ridiculous to u after u paid RM200 to fix the problem.

hmm..you're too late to telling me all these.i have already repaired the phone..maybe u can advise to other forumer which still searching help....u can put your friends phone here or request the frumer to pm u for more detail...but i'm not trusting any of mobile kiosk in sg wang or other places because my friends have experience with h/p component been swapped.

my point telling my story is better not to to nokia care berjaya .....which i can detect their unprofesionalisme.quoting the unnecessary repairs..and it take take for 3 day to quote the price....while in nokia care jln pahang ..the quotation is done in 5 minute & the repairing done in 20 minute....

my advice would be to skip nokia care if your phone is no longer under warranty.. i can smell that nokia care is trying to earn some quick buck by always quoting extra.. my bro runs a HP shop, and he's the 1 that fixed my phone, if u lives around kajang/bangi area, then PM me, and i'll tell u where to find my bro..

Same here.was deciding between the N73ME and N80i.last time both were the same price so don't know which to pick.

but since i have a wireless router at home and i want WiFi on my phone,the N80i came home with me tho i liked the N73's huge screen and better camera.

In terms of camera, N73 has Carl Zeiss lens and Auto Focus where N80 is just an ordinary 3mp CMOS camera.

I think N80 made for people who can't live witout e-mails and internet. Because of that it have 3G and WiFi.

Actually N73 win N80 a lot of things..... Speaker + screen + battery + camera... Jz dun hav wifi only.
