Nokia N93: Proof that the N Series was built on flimsy foundations?
You know, I’d actually consider buying an N93 if it were just for the video capabilities. The whole video blogging craze could even be highlighted with the Nokia N93 as the prime mover in the same way that Nokia had also made waves with the 7650 as the consumer cameraphone of choice.
It was all about the Series 60 platform — whoops, pardon me - the S60 platform that made Nokia what it is today as all of their high end multimedia phones run on this operating system. It really sucks though that S60 wasn’t built to withstand all that media. Sure, you could run video and audio and still use your phone to do those everyday phone functions … but at what cost? Speed of course. A fix to the sluggish OS is something phone manufacturers should work on for 2007.
Here are some specs. Does it show you how overpacked this phone is? Nah. Don’t think so. I think it really is a sluggish OS problem.

Who said the n93 has anything to do with A2DP? I’m stuck with an expensive BH-500 Bluetooth stereo headset and the phone won’t even locate it!!
Tried the headset on the n95 though, works like a charm!! :( I’m really upset!
