Nokia N93 v Sony K800i

troublesome

New member
I've been looking into upgrading my Razr V3 for some time now and these two phones seem like the best candidates, although the N93 won't be available until July. (I think?)

This time around it seems that phones are now capable of taking high quality pictures, decent videos and especially the N93 flip screen looks like it'd be a decent organizer as well... that means I could go sightseeing on vacations without my digital camera (a Finepix F700, rather outdated now and probably not much better than those cell phone cameras) and PDA, thus actually put everything in a jacket pocket

My problem so far is mainly with size - the N93 is significantly (almost 50%) thicker than the K800i and 28mm might be a little much.

From the design and descriptions I've read so far, I very much favor the N93, but I've heard aweful things about the Nokia software. In fact, no one I know has anything positive to say

Is that something that can be fixed with flashing or optional downloads from the community, or is it going to drive me up a wall everytime I want to place a call/take a picture?


Looking forward to reading your opinions on the subject...
Although I think I've narrowed the selection down to one of those two, if there's another similiar phone I should also consider, please feel free to mention it


btw: I live in Switzerland, so the lack of support for some US carriers shouldn't be an issue.

edit: I should also note that although an mp3 player is nice, it's not really a priority - if I can fit 5-10 songs on it, that's all I need. For sports I prefere to use the iPod shuffle anyway... nothing can damage that thing
 
The N93 runs on new Symbian software and operating system, which are faster than ever. New applications are starting to come out, such as Smartmovie and Agile Messenger.
Pictures and video are easy. Open it up and twist and you're in camera/video mode. There's a nice big dedicated capture button to use.
Its takes video at 640x480 resolution and 30 frames per second.
You can also hook it up to a TV to watch the videos.

The only k800 pros are nicer (xenon) flash and smaller size.

Since you're in Europe, you can probably go to a store when its released to test it out.
