Users can shoot DVD-like quality videos with the Nokia N93i thanks to its MPEG-4 VGA video capture at up to 30 frames per second, stereo audio recording and digital stabilization. The Nokia N93i also boasts a 3.2-megapixel (2048 x 1536 px) camera with Carl Zeiss optics, 3x optical zoom, autofocus and close-up mode. With the 1 GB miniSD card included in the standard Nokia N93i sales pack, consumers can capture up to 45 minutes of DVD-like quality video or up to 1250 high-quality photos.

With its slim and compact design, the Nokia N93i is now even easier to slip into a pocket. It also has a new metallic finish keymat and a mirror effect cover. The 2.4-inch main display of up to 16 million colors has a 160 degree viewing angle, the easy-to-use joystick provides smooth video control and there are dedicated camera keys to capture images, switch shooting mode and operate the flash quickly and easily.

Integrated into the Nokia N93i is a new personal video and photo blogging service called Vox with privacy features that let users share stories and thoughts instantly with their friends, family, neighborhood or the entire world. Select video or photos in the gallery and upload them directly from the device to Vox in their original size.

Once users finish filming, they can shape their story while it's still on the Nokia N93i with the on-device editing capabilities. For advanced editing, the standard Nokia N93i sales pack comes bundled with Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 software, enabling consumers to create professional quality movies on their compatible PC. These videos can then be transferred back to a multimedia computer or burned to DVDs.

Consumers can have a communal screening of their very own blockbuster or latest photos. Simply connect the Nokia N93i to a compatible TV with the supplied video-out connectivity cable, dim the lights and enjoy the show. Or by using the wireless route, the integrated wireless LAN (WLAN) technology connects to a compatible UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) enabled device.

Also designed to work on WLAN, 3G (WCDMA 2100 MHz), EDGE and GSM (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) networks, the Nokia N93i provides mobile broadband internet access for browsing, uploading content, and sending and receiving emails, allowing users to stay connected on the move. They can also keep themselves entertained with MP3 music, podcasts, stereo FM radio or mobile TV video streaming.

The Nokia N93i, which is based on S60 3rd Edition software on Symbian OS, is expected to start shipping in volumes during the first quarter of 2007 with an estimated, pre-tax, unsubsidized sales price of approximately 600 euros.
