What an interesting way to start a blog, your first post is a Nokia N93 review! The author doesn’t list any details about himself but a quick Google search reveals his MySpace account. Why exactly did I enjoy this review so much … it just feels like a normal guy you’d meet in a coffee shop telling you about a new toy he got himself.

Here are some highlights:

"This thing is pretty big"…..That’s all I could think when I first received my phone.  It’s a pretty big phone when you first see it, but after having it for over a month, I don’t feel that way anymore.

This is my first Nokia/Symbain phone and after having almost every OS (i.e., Windows, Blackberry, and Palm), I must say, I think that the Symbian OS is the best.  Coming from a Treo 700p, Blackberry Pearl and the T-mobile Dash, I thought that it would take some time getting used to sending text and emails with a regular keypad……BOY WAS I WRONG!

I have been very impressed with the picture and video quality.  It’s not the best camera in low light, but I’m not complaining.  The sound quality is excellent.  It sounds like you have a microphone pointing in whichever direction you are shooting.  I have literally put away my digital camera and who needs a camcorder when you have your all in one phone?

Originally, I planned to purchase the N93 and then sell it once the N95 became available.  I have since changed my mind and will just have both the N93 and the N95.  The gaming aspect, form-factor and video (even though the N95 shoots dvd like video, I’ve read there is no auto focus) of the N93, brought me to that conclusion.

I was curious about his "N95 has no auto focus" statement so I googled it myself:

Use the Nokia N95 to take photos with a 5 megapixel autofocus camera and enjoy videos, music and graphics with crystal clarity on the 2.6” QVGA (240 x 320 pixels), 16M color display.
