Calling the
N93i an "upgrade" over the
N93 might actually be a bit heavy handed. Though the monster clamshell gains S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 on its predecessor and shaves a solid 3.2 millimeters of thickness, virtually every other change is more of a sidegrade than anything else. The keypad ditches that pesky third dimension to take on a RAZR-esque etched metal look (a first for a Nokia device), the front gets a mirrored finish with a concealed 128 x 36 OLED display, and software for photo / video blogging to the newly-minted Vox service. Granted, the mods add up to something a little meatier than your average
Internet or
Music Edition, but N93 owners are still probably best off hanging onto their wallets here. Non-owners, though, well... that's another story entirely; you folks can get your N93i on before the quarter's out for €600 (about $785).

if nokia throw in a standard 3.5 audio jack in this machine this will make N93i the best.
Wow... it doesn't even look the same... way sexier!
i like the bigger screen on the front too. much better than the small one on the N93.
too bad that the price tag is so huge...
I just lost my 6260... This is the only one that can replace it lol.
i bought the n93, and although the hardware is well done, the system is a mess and nokia is hard to talk to. it seems like a paid for a beta version...
i'd wait till they better their updates... for now, it's clunky and awkward.
Hey, my brother plays guitar for Mummypowder, I'm famous!
i really cant make out the size of the oled screen on this, i have the SONY nw-e507 and its absoultely gorgeous with its oled screen but its useless in the sun and in most situations where theres too much light. still this phone looks awesome and im glad to see oled is getting love from nokia, now if only they can make a n95 clamshell with this.
Won't the mirror cause trouble when filming out side. Sun reflection in someone eyes or something?
