N93 - Got mine now!

[Alio]

Well finally got my new n93 the other day.......took ages for it to arrive though, about 3 weeks after order!
I think stocks for the phone have run dry already.......from what most retailers of the phone are saying, resulting in a huge back log.

Anyway I got mine, he he.....and what can I say........big.....yep......but hey, it's beautiful

Been playing with it like a kid with a new toy for last few days....."the phone that is"........even managed to install the PC suite on my laptop and get the phone connected with out to much trouble for once:o ...... thanks (HandsOn) your tip about making sure not to connect the phone before installation made this job alot smoother.:)

N93........only bad comment so far is:

When you hold the phone in "camcorder" style mode........it's a bit difficult sometimes trying to press the main record button with your thumb without then getting your finger in the way of lens.......slightly annoying, but other than that.......it's great!


On a good point, I'm glad to see that nokia have improved the speed side of things when it comes to moving around and opening up different applications........my n70 takes quite a while moving around and opening up stuff........especially the gallery app.

Verdict so far, 9 out of 10.:D

Cor! Lucky git :D

How about posting up a few pictures taken with the N93 then - we keep hearing how good it is ...... p'raps a few pics may persuade us that Nokia are not telling us porkie pies this time round :p

[Ben]

Yes that'd be cool :D

I'd especially like to hear how you're getting on with it a few weeks from now.

Thanks for the write-up!

[Alio]

Ok.......will do!:D

[Hands0n]

I got me one of these tonight from a friend of a friend who let me have it for £50. Bargain! :D What an awesome handset. Looks great in my trousers pocket ;) - must show it off to the girls in the office tomorrow :D

I've got it on my T-Mobile contract 'cos the li'l ole 6280 has gone west for a while. It should be back in about 2 weeks time. Meanwhile I got me this N63 in Nokia-standard unbranded and unlocked. Marvelous!!

I'll comment back on it in a while - going away for a week so will see how it performs as a Camcorder while in the sunny place :)

Is that an N93 in your pocket are you just glad to see me?!

Well, I've had a day with the N93. Gawd what a behemoh it is! The thing could sink a battleship if launched from a torpedo tube! I'm taking it on holiday with me and am sure that it will take me over my baggage allowance. I might have to send it over by cargo carrier! Feck its a tad on the large size!!

I love it :D Imagine someone nicking it out of your pocket - you'd hear the hernia tear open as they lifted it out. I've gone on a course of anabolic steroids - standing with this thing on your ear is difficult - I found myself leaning up against a building to stop myself falling over. I've had to reinforce the coffee table after its legs buckled.

This is a seriously large and heavy phone/camera/computer/wireless doobry/what-have-you/thingy. I don't know what Nokia were on when they designed this but it should be legalised and I want first dibs ;)

As you can tell, I'm completely impressed and gobsmacked. Once I've got over its hugeness [oooh errrr] I'll get around to giving my impressions of the N93 (even though I don't normaly do impressions ...... ok its an old one I know). Suffice to say that it is rather sprightly for its size - not as quick as the N95 but it is not a long way behind. Unlike the N80 which is as slow as a very slow thing. The N93 whizzes along and its S60 does a reasonable impression of a computer thing.

More on all of this another time. I've got go have a Radox bath to sooth my acheing back after dragging the N93 up the stairs to put it on charge (did the lights dim just then?).

When it vibrates does your whole body shake :D

Cheeky beggar ;)

Don't jest about such things! This morning, on the way in to the office by motorcycle, I suddenly swerved across all three lanes of the dual-carriageway. Someone had sent me a text message to my N93 and I had inadvertently left the vibrate function on. The windows on the car alongside me shattered with the airwave caused by the N93 in my rucksack!

The Americans could have dropped a few of these in Afghanistan and ole Bin Liner would have come running out of the caves in surrender!

I learn that the N93i is of much leaner lines and weight - stuff Nokia, it cannot be half as much fun as this behemoth :D I just love the look on the unspecting faces as I whip my monster out - to answer a phone call or send a text.
