3G reviews the Nokia N93 and writes, “Whatever Nokia call the N93i, I call the 2006 version the N93 and the 2007 version the N93i. The sheer bulk of these will limit their appeal to mainstream buyers. Ultimately, I feel Nokia has designed the N93i to look more like a camera / camcorder and I see Nokia using the N93i experience as a stepping stone to move nearer to this goal in the future. It’s probably in the final stages of design at Nokia’s design HQ, as I write.

The N93i has plus and negative points over the N93. The one clear factor which would trigger a buying decision for either N93s is its video recording ability.

The N93i looks and feels better but maybe not like a mobile phone. But hey, that’s the whole point of the NSeries - to pack as many features as possible into one device and for Nokia to show off / trailblaze. We found the photo taking and video taking capability of the N93i slightly downgraded when compared to the N93. Of course, in the mobile phone arena, no other mobile phone can challenge it’s video capabilities, but in the photo stakes there are quite a few which will overrun it.

The N93i had more appeal prior to the arrival of the N95 which has caused a stampede of excitement.”
