Nokia N93i Hands-On

Published on 01/ 9/2007

CES 2007 – I’m still playing with my N93 that Nokia drops the N93i on us! This is a nice update from its older brother. The N93i is still a pure video phone, with a 3.2 Megapixel Carl Zeiss lens that can capture 30fps MPEG4 video (with stabilization). The phone itself has been upgraded too and is now a 3G phone (in addition of the Wi-Fi capability already included in the N93).

The device feels substantially smaller and lighter than the N93 – a welcome improvement, says my pocket shirt. To exploit its imaging capabilities, it comes loaded with Vox, the rich blogging platform from Six Appart, making photo/video blogging more spontaneous.
