Ken reviews a few members of the N Series family: The N73, N93 and N80i

Nice round up of of all 3 devices, thanks for the disclaimer Ken, nice touch. Little disappointed you didn’t talk about the battery life while using VoIP since I know WiFi is a battery vampire. Some links to the video samples you took with the N93 would’ve been nice too. The conclusion however, is gold:

That said, I’ll say something that sounds like reversing myself. If I were to be in a position to go buy a new phone today, I doubt I’d buy any of these. I say I’ll shift to the N80i because with the addition of a bluetooth keyboard and some software it provides everything I need. The improvement and advances may not be enough to justify the market price. Personally, I’m like a kid with toys, so the decision to move could be driven by whim and the VoIP factor. I’m not a typical user, and not a good barometer. But if I were to use my colleagues and coworkers as a guide, Blackberry (NSDQ: RIMM) and Treo users for the most part, none would make the shift to any of the N-series. The lack of a QWERTY keyboard and full utilization of wireless broadband technology is a greater driver than pictures, video or VoIP.
