If you have used the N93 phone you will automatically notice the differences and improvements that come with N93i. Nokia have re-worked the N93 completely to make it much more user friendly. Visibility and the keypad have been re-worked, for example The N93i has 16 million colours rather than the N93's 262,000 available. There is joy pad stick for enhanced control.
However I only had the N93 for a short time as it was a loan from a friend. It was defiantly one of the coolest phones that I ever used and the features were amazing which I will go on describe latter.

I feel the N93i should be recognised by its own right rather then being promoted by its father the N93. For those who owned and loved there N93 the N93i will be an obvious upgrade and will be won over by its specs. So this review will be aimed at you newbie's of the Symbian phone or the Nokia 'N' series.

The N93i is defiantly a phone for people who love taking photos or videos on there mobile phone, included is Nokia software which makes transferring files from your phone to your computer as easy as possible. There is the optional SD memory slot to enhance the storage capacity on the phone. It has a noise reduction facility which means no more static noises in the background of traffic and hustle bustle of life. However the menu and set up of the camera can be a little complicated sometimes and can be difficult to adjust. The unique flip facility of the N93i similar to the 6260 more then makes up for any grievances. Although you may find it does provide clear crystal recordings it's a little below par to the 'DVD' quality claim associated to it. But its worth remembering its better then anything else ever in terms of a phone image recording and if you want a camcorder you should buy one with that purpose in mind!

Here are a few of the good points of the N93i

-Less bulky and much sleeker design
-Auto focus
-16.7 Million TFT colour display
-Side joystick
-Carl Ziss Vario-Tessar 3x Optical zoom and 3.2 mega pixel
-3G Technology
-Video Recorder with 3 x Optical Zoom & 8 x Digital Zoom
-FM Stereo Radio

-50 Mbytes Memory Plus MicroSD Memory Card Option
-3.9 Hours Talk Time
-283 Hours Standby

Other information can be found on the Nokia website detailing more of the specs that you may be interested in. I am still getting used to the phone but so far have little to complain about it. The only disadvantage I can think of is that the battery time is a little low and the applications take a long time to load.

With prices for sim-free phones ranging from £450- £700, I would suggest waiting for a few months for the price to lower or getting it as part of network deals or annual upgrades. If it's a phone that you're looking for then make sure the N93i is on your list of possibilities because it's got everything you require from a phone but its by far in its own league in terms of look and specs.
