The answer to your question is in your description itself. The connectivity options on the N80 are slightly better because of the included Wi-Fi which is handy in countries which have got hotspots which offer free access to Internet using Wi-Fi, its also a faster option to sync or upload your photos to a web service or the PC.



The slider on the N80 is not spring assisted which means unlike other sliders you have to manually push the phone body all the way up till it locks into open position...



The N80 has a 3 MP camera which doesn't have auto focus which means the quality of photos will be affected.



The N73 meanwhile lacks Wi-Fi but packs in a fabulous auto-focus camera which has a Carl-Zeiss lens...it goes without saying that photo quality of the N73 remains largely unmatched by any handset available now barring the N93.



So in summary the N73 looks like a better bet...
