A while ago Nokia started producing the N-series of multimedia telephones. When you take a good look at the N-series, you will find multimedia telephones of great stature, literally as well as figuratively spoken. Some time ago Nokia enabled us to test the N93 and I must admit I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was given the chance to review the successor of the Nokia N93; the N93i. The build of these two telephones is almost identical with on top of them the camera including a Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar lens with 3.2 Megapixel and 3x optical zoom. The rotating screen has a shiny exterior and the telephone is packed with multimedia features. Nokia are renowned as manufacturer of high quality appliances. I hope they can prove themselves again with the Nokia N93i. And furthermore prove that it's not just the appearance that has changed! How well the Nokia N93i did in our extensive test, you can read in the following Nokia N93 multimedia phone review.

Nokia N93i - Design

The Nokia N93i is available in black and silver. Nokia delivered the silver colored one at my doorstep and I must admit I am quite charmed by its appearance. It's shiny and striking and not only because of the large size of the Nokia N93i. The back has been made of a brown purplish metallic colored plastic that feels a tad feeble in some ways. To finish off the design completely it would have been better to have used a much more firm cover. On top of the camera we find a huge lump. It contains the digital camera that I will comment on further down in this review. Furthermore some two covers are found hiding the memory card and the connection for the computer and TV out.
