N93i UP, CLOSE, & PERSONAL!!! <lotsa pics!>

Hey YYZXMN and HelioPause I want to get this phone, but just wondering how the battery life is? Can you least last one day with listening to music for 1 hours, taking a couple of photos, having the email download set on check every half hours, making 30min phone calls, and texting 10 messages a day? Is that specific enough

Also, the front, is it easy to scratch and how's the size of the thing? Sorry for so many questions, but it's an expensive phone to get without knowing all.....
 
ummmm...sure....but then don't play the role and Quote "All questions are welcome of course...so ask away!!!" if you have no intent on keeping track of a thread you started....shall i say Just Started
 
i am also curious about battery life, how about doing waht tkao2025 said and adding shooting video clips for an hour or so? thanks
 
No, there is a review on www.mobile-review.com and the screen differences between the N93i and the N93 shocked me! I wasn't expecting such a HUGE difference!
 
here's a video of the n93i and n93 compared side by side :: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUBgy4CkYik


also here are some N93i and N93 comparison pics :: http://www.phonedaily.com/news/?news_id=5339
 
Tired of waiting so I ran out and got one for myself.....so far the only thing I can say is big
I'm going to play with it for a bit, but it's a solid built phone.
 
Here're some photos of the mobile relative to a W950i.

Here're more shots taken during the day albeit very overcast.

@ maximum optical zoom
@ almost maximum digital zoom - you get the idea...

In daily use, the battery's lasting about a day and a half for me now. Mostly online browsing (c. 1-2hrs) and music playing (c. 2hrs), lots of short messages, not so many calls.

I said it once and I'll say it again: whoever designed the Pop-Port cover should be shot. While it's all nice and pretty when snapped shut, it's a disaster waiting to happen when using stereo headsets. As many have griped before, why can't/won't Nokia give the pre-FP1 phones A2DP? It obviously can be done as Samsung did it with their i300 mobile which was running on Windows Smartphone 2003 2nd edition (with BT 1.2!!) by adding their own A2DP module.
 
I totally agree. One more thing. I find that my phone shuts off periodically by itself and I have no clue why??? Does this happen for you? This happened after I installed Nokia Maps, which I still can't figure out how to use...
 
I've only had two random power-offs myself. Once while using the web browser and having about four pages opened simultaneously; that time I restarted the phone. Another time, the phone powered off as I sent off a short message at the same time as a scheduled email download; that time I didn't power back on but the phone powered itself back on moments later. Weird.

Just to add another two cents to my A2DP rant, I noticed the other day at Nokia's developer site that the N91 8GB upgrade has the A2DP/AVRCP profiles. But the phone is still running on OS9.1, S60 3rd, i.e. without FP1!!

Frustratingly, my SE MBW-100 BT watch arrived on the weekend. So I'm back to using the W950i with its emanciated UIQ3. But the watch will a very nice toy to play with for a while.

I'm seriously thinking of up/downgarding to a W880 or N95, whichever comes first!
 
I'm becoming tired of waiting for the n95, and find myself leaning towards the n93i. However, I just had a few questions about it.

1. When the phone is in "view" mode how are you able to surf the web when the letters are now vertical as opposed to horizontal? Do you still key in the same way it would be as if the phone was open regularly?

2. Does the mirror screen seem easy to scratch?

3. When having the stereo headphones plugged into the phone, does the rubber cover pose a problem since its hanging from the side? And does it have a chance to breaking off?

4. Hows the battery life so far?

5. How is the earpiece volume? I re-call reading somewhere that someone was complaining how the volume was too low on the headset, and during a conversation in a busy street it was quite hard to hear the other person. Does anyone else face this problem?

Thanks for any help anyone can shed on these answers
 
I'd really Love to know as well (Haha I'm SUCH a pain in the ***, I think I might just spring for the andset nextweek though and sell it if I hate it!)
 
@ Dr Tran - the MBW-100 pairs initially with the N93i but the BT connection, which needs to be maintained (like GPS receiver), is not. Ergo, no functionality whatsoever.
 
yyzxm, thanks for your reply!, its greatly appreciated. Hmm, seems like this phone may not be all that i've hoped it'd be. As far as the earpiece volume goes. Do you have a hard time hearing the person you are speaking to when you are in a busy street, crowded store, loud restaurant/bar/lounge? I remember having my moto v600 about 3 years ago, and i absolutely HATED that the earpiece volume was soooo low. I hope the volume on the 93i is not as low.
 
Often when out and about, I have to cup my other ear in order to hear the person calling (pls bear in mind China is a very very noisy place). It also helps if I press the earpiece harder to the ear.
