Negative Points:

  • No fingerprint-secure finish, so keep your polishers ready
  • NO MINI-USB AND 3,5mm AUDIO JACK!
  • Small, kinda useless external screen
  • keypad is hard to press
  • Flash is there, but too less powerful
  • Display part had way too much space

Positive Points:

  • Newer, slimmer design with mirror finish
  • Protection for miniSD slot and pop-port improved big time
  • Joypad (!?) has gone for cam usage and got replaced by an excellent joystick
  • Newer, slimmer keypad
  • Colours are now 16 Mio. instead of 262k
  • Flickr Video Uploads
  • Camera Improvements overall
  • Light Indicator for charging/missed calls/sms

Trust me when I tell you the N93i feels so much more solid in the hand than an N93. Sadly I definitely, 100%, do not like the mirror coating.
