The Nokia N93 looks like a wee TV, but don’t be fooled. This video phone has Carl Zeiss optics and takes DVD-quality video and 3.2-megapixel stills. But where’s the digital TV? Streaming video? Subsidized coolness?
Priced at about $600, this is definitely not a mass market phone. The N93 should have a digital television tuner (DVB-H), but that standard is not sufficiently supported on our shores and means that the U.S. continues to lag in the high quality digital-video-over-cellular front, much to my personal dismay. As a result, Nokia has been forced to aim this at folks who want to take home movies with their phones rather the folks who might want to watch the big game on their small screen.
