Steve casts his eye over the new Nokia N93i Nseries multimedia computer and find that there are more than just cosmetic changes. In his full review, he examines the physical differences but notes that differences in the camera algorithms may be just as significant.

Nice review Steve.
Sounds odd that they'd slim down the battery on the 93i, this kind of phone is meant for very heavy power usage. Surely the main market for the 93 and 93i is among people who want to shoot lots of video? Presumably whoever designed the 93i was told to make it as slim as possible, and maybe they were thinking about the "how it looks in the shop" factor.
Trivial Pointless Fact No. 129849:
Anyone notice how the keypads on the N93i and N76 are almost identical?

Nice review, thanks. Though you just made by buying decision harder. Does anyone know when the N93i will be available in the UK?
The N93i should be available around March (maybe the tail end of February).

is there still a lens cap. i will get this phone if it has one. it is a deal breaker. i have the n93 and i cant imagine not having anything to protect those expensive optics ;p
Yes and no!
Yes, I believe boxed devices will have one. No, the review unit had lost its cap 8-)

Yes it defintely has a lens cap. It actually fits in better than the old one in my opinion.
