Good point Stefan. I haven’t done much with the video stuff and you’re absolutely right about why people for for the N93. I’ll work on that and do more video. Thanks

I was just kidding with you Ken! I’m glad you’re blogging about these phones, that is the entire purpose of the Nokia Blogger Relations program. You’re doing a fantastic job and I hope you keep it up.

You bring up a great point however, why pick a network based on the phones that the carrier chooses to subsidize?! Makes no sense but it happens in America all the time.

I’m not going to debate you on weather or not your carrier indeed offers you better coverage, everyone is different honestly, America is so big that a carrier might kick butt in one state but stink in another.

I don’t wish Verizon was a GSM network because they are making GSM carriers innovate and adopt the latest technologies to compete. Right now EVDO Rev C is pushing 280 megabits per second! HSDPA can’t even imagine that in a wet dream.

When companies compete, consumers win!

Keep up the blogging! A little personal request of mine, start uploading videos more often. People who buy the N93 buy it to do videos, not stills.

I don’t mean to rub it in. Truly. Well, ok, I do suppose it seems that way. But honestly I just feel I owe it to Nokia as part of the Blogger Relations Program to do a really thorough job of testing the limits of the phones. And they are indeed some really cool phones. If there’s a factor that could make me leave Verizon’s CDMA/EVDO network and abandon my Treo700W, it’s not the other carriers. T-Mobile and Cingular aren’t any better really. In fact, I still find far better coverage and throughput with Verizon. But one of these Nokia phones could sway me to the GSM SIM carriers pretty easily. I with Verizon was a GSM network.
