Nokia's N93 caught in the wild

by Thomas Ricker posted Apr 28th 2006 at 7:00AM

Hot on the heels of Nokia's N93 announcement are some shots of this camcorder/phone in the wild. Japanese site PlusD Mobile has plenty of snaps but little in the way of review commentary on Nokia's new flagship N-series phone expected to drop for some €550/$690 in July. So kick back, and feast on the eye-candy for a few until we can nab ya'll some actual MPEG-4 recordings from this pup. Then we'll see if Nokia's plan to take a bite out of the camcorder (and DAP player) bidness in the same way cellphones have kicked alarm clocks, wrist watches, and low-end digitalcams to the curb, is for realz. The N93 is certainly capable given its relative size (to a camcorder) and fact that it packs in a 3.2 megapixel Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with image stabilization, microSD expansion, big 2.4-inch fold-out display, and the ability to pump video down the TV-out jack or over WiFi to any UPnP capable device. Ogle more pics after the break.

And I've got video of the N93 from Nokia's launch, as part of Smartphones Show 8, which went live this morning. See my URL.

All this new mobile phones have the same problem: the battery. You can make almost everything but only for one or half hour.

Anyone know what version of uPNP Nokia has implemented on these phones? I'd like to stream data from the phone to a stereo, controlling everything from the phone. Supposedly v1.0 of uPNP only allows devices to pull data from a source(the phone), whereas v1.5 allows data to be pushed.

"In the wild"? Looks like it was tethered down at Tuesday's event to me.

Here are pics I took of one actually outdoors on the street:

Please fix the links. The links point to a tinyurl-creation URL. Clicking on them doesn't lead to the intended page.

What I want is a mobile phone that i can use to record video from my helmet cameras via the av cable.
we could sell loads.
what a neat package that would be phone in the pocket and helmet camera recording to a 4 gig hard drive.

also I would love to see the new USb 2 working with my cameras4sports cameras allowing wireless conectivity between them and a mobile.

any takers on the development side call me or e-mail me
