Pdastreet has reviewed the Nokia N93 and conclude - “In a market full of thin, underpowered phones, it’s a pleasure to find one that’s genuinely useful in a variety of ways. It’s pricier and larger than most people will want, but we think it will find an audience with people who appreciate its power and versatility.”

3G - 5/2/2007 - 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.”
RegHardware - 4/28/2007 - reviews the Nokia N93 and conclude - “The N93i seems to have a bit of an identity crisis - it’s a bit on the big side for a phone and as camcorder it’s adequate but no replacement for a dedicated model. It’s also a bit awkward to use at times, and the twisting, turning design feels a little over complicated. It’s pricey - £200 with a contract, £550 without - but it’s packed to rafters with features. But turn too many on at any one time and the battery life will suffer.”
PCAuthority - 1/27/2007 - reviews the Nokia N93 and conclude - “It feels like more of a technical showcase than a phone you’d actually buy. The menu structure is convoluted and at times confusing. Despite knowing we could change a soft key function under the S60 operating system, we spent 45 minutes looking for the setting, to no avail. The sluggish performance doesn’t help this either, nor do its minor yet irritating flaws, such as the lack of a lens cover for the main camera.”
Pdastreet - 11/20/2006 - has reviewed the Nokia N93 and conclude - “In a market full of thin, underpowered phones, it’s a pleasure to find one that’s genuinely useful in a variety of ways. It’s pricier and larger than most people will want, but we think it will find an audience with people who appreciate its power and versatility.”
T3 - 11/14/2006 - has reviewed the Nokia N93 and conclude - “Call quality is great, and the battery gives a relatively impressive four hours of moderate-to-heavy calling’n’cordering. With Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G, it’s better connected than Max Clifford, and soon makes friends with nearby Wi-Fi networks. Nokia’s excellent Web browser is included, as is the eye-popping 3D racing game System Rush Evolution.”
LetsGoDigital - 11/10/2006 - has reviewed the Nokia N93 and they write - “The Nokia N93 is not the most compact mobile phone to take with you. Due to it’s somewhat bigger size and it’s rather high weight a bag would be handy to carry it around in. Or you make sure a sturdy trouser or inside pocket are available. It is not a mobile phone designed for the compact mobile phone enthusiast. The built-in camera of the Nokia N93 is a certain step towards quality.”
CNET - 9/27/2006 - has reviewed the Nokia N93 and they write - “Though it won’t replace your digital camcorder or camera, the powerful Nokia N93 does a respectable job of integrating quality multimedia capabilities into a cell phone. That said, it’s a bulky handset and is best suited for convergence fanatics and gadget hounds.”
Howardchui - reviews the Nokia n93 and writes - “The n93’s camera is good enough that it can really change the way you use your phone. In the past I found that I rarely used the camera of a camera phone because the image quality wasn’t good enough, particularly if you wanted to print the photos out. While some other camera phones have enough resolution to make good 4×6 prints, their lenses usually ruin picture quality. With the n93, it has enough resolution and a good enough lens for prints. The fact that you get an optical zoom is icing on the cake. The rest of the n93 is also pretty impressive, WiFi is nice to have since you won’t accrue data charges when you’re near a hotspot, the extra programs (Quick Office, Acrobat) work okay and the TV out is just plain cool.”
