@daloon
thanks for the link, very useful.
It says the N93 is 25 grams heavier - not 40 grams.
The overall size of the two phones is very similar - but as the Nokia has a 3.2MP camera with a 3x optical zoom, i can forgive it being a few mm bigger!
Although both phones have the same resolution screens, I think the slightly larger size of the N93 screen is another plus point.
Battery life is going to be a problem, I'm impressed with how long my P900 lasts between charges - but any 3G phone with bluetooth and wirless lan is going to eat batteries - talk time is one thing, but these phones are going to do a lot more than talk! I wouldn't be suprised if both phones needed charging every day.
I guess I really need to get both phones in my hand before I make up my mind.
Decisions, decisions...

Waka,
N93 screen size is 2.4 inch while P990i is 2.8 inch. How can N93's screen be bigger than P990i? Apart from the 3.2MP cam and 802.11g, the other main advantage of N93 over P990i is its VGA MPEG4 recording feature, which should be the world's first. However, I just realised yesterday that SE's official developer's document released in Feb 06 stated that P990i has the capability to record videos at up to VGA resolution too (just hope it is not a typo error).

I am not sure about others, but to me, touch sensitive screen and HWR is a must to acheive any decent PDA usages.

Personally I could not live without a touch screen. So it will be the P990 for me when it ever comes out.

Yeah, same here; I've been spoilt with my long-suffering P900's touch screen over the past 2 years. I had a Motorola A008 Accompli before that, amongst other phones, and enjoy the stylus input on phones.
I'll continue to wait patiently (although it's getting more and more difficult!) for the P990...

I've been using a Treo 650 and Audiovox SMT5600 lately so you can imagine how desperately I'm awaiting the P990. I'll probably take a peek at the Nokia E61 as they added EDGE support, something that was originally to be left out. But the one phone I'm anxiously awaiting is the SE P990. Yeah, I'll be all over it!

It's all about the touch screen AND the jog-dial! Once you use them, nothing less will do. It's about input and interface, not specs numbers on paper.

What about Nokia N800 vs P990? Seems to me that the N80 ticks all the right boxes, apart from not having a touch sensitive screen and as much battery life. Am I wrong? I kinda wish I am as I'd like to justify waiting til July
