N73 vs N80

I'm looking to buy a new phone and these two are my top choices. Which phone is better? I've liked the n80 ever since I first saw pictures and preview of it but now from reading reviews and such the n73 also seems like a good choice.
Also, any other good choices for a 3mp phone with 850mhz that you think is better than these two (I usually prefer Nokia phones)?

N80 with slide and Wifi (but poor battery life)
N73 with better battery and build quality also much better camera

Yeah the N91 is a musiphone with a 4GB HD. Not bad if you like music. It also has Wifi.

If you want to compare them side by side, phonescoop is a good place to do it:

don't need a music phone just as long as it has mp3 ringtones, got an ipod for music

wouldn't go for another phone without 850mhz, I'm using an n90 right now and the reception is really porr compared to all the phones I've had in the past which all had 850mhz
^ didn't know the n91 also didn't have a vibrate function, the n90 also doesn't vibrate and its very inconvinient

N80. who cares about battery life? my w900 has HORRIBLE battery life, but how does that affect you? unless it wont last a whole day (but no phone has THAT bad of battery life). i just listen to music for an hour, take a few pics sometimes, and talk for an hour or two, and then when i get ready to go to sleep, its getting low so i just set it on the charger... when people tell me the N80 has bad battery life i say "so? charge it every night you homofag..." and then they tell me to go to hell and then thats how i make enemies and now you know what my life is all about, so now basically your my brother...

^ yeah apparantly the battery life of my current n90 is pretty much the same as the n80 and I charge my phone like every 2-3 days so its not a big deal for me...

I've got my N80 since back in may sometime. I'm not sure if the battery life has gone to hell since, but nowadays the phone -won't- last a full day. Here's my phone's day, in general:

~5 webpages in the Web app (that's the "full" browser)
1-2 hours of talk.
I check the calendar a lot and use the Autolock software, so there's a lot of locking-unlocking-screensaving on/off-and such.
10 minutes of gaming
15 minutes of music.
No wlan.

And then the phone dies at 20:00-21:00-ish.

I mean, what the f**k is up? All the "features" of this, my dream phone, are more or less unuseable, because then it won't last till i get home.

I use 3G/UMTS, and my new apartment's got dodgy reception, maybe that's what's eating my batt up? And no, I can't switch 3G off, since my GSM coverage is crapalicious. I think; I don't really want to test that.

Further, a second battery won't cover it, because a Symbian phone takes about a minute to boot up, and so I'd have to buy a desktop battery charger stand, and it will all add up, and suck. And I don't want to switch battery in my phone just to get by the last 4 hours in the day.
I'm hoping for Nokia to release a -much- better battery for it, or I guess I'll just have to get another phone when my subscription ends... in a year! =/
If I'm lucky 3 in sweden will have some übercool phone available by january, since i could then extend my subscription with them and get a new phone.
