Nokia N93i

Battery
Bad news of heavy users - the N93i battery life is a lot less than the N93i. We went all over town taking shots for our film and all we could manage was about 30-40 mins of footage before the battery died on us.

Conclusion
For those who already own the N93 and are looking to upgrade it to the N93i: Don't buy it. There is very little, mostly cosmetic changes that the N93i brings in to the phone, so it would make very little sense for you to sell yours and get this one. The quality of the video is the same, the features are the same, etc. The battery life, on the other hand, is lesser than the N93 and the keypad is a mess. But yes, it is shinier and more expensive looking!



For those who don't have any Nseries phone and are looking to buy a good phone that has a good video/still camera: Don't buy it. Rs. 35,750 is way too much money to plonk down on this phone. If you want a good still camera, try the N73. If you are interested in video recording, you can get a better camera in half the price that gives you higher optical zoom like 10x, 12x even 32x if you put a little more money. Even after all that you'll still be left with enough money to buy a good phone.

There is a third category of people too - those who want a really expensive, flash phone just to show off. What can I say to those? They probably already own it by now!
