I would go for k800 cause it has the best camera out of the three. The video quality on the N93 is slightly better though the camera isnt that good. The w950 only has a huge memory that you can get on a k800 on a memory card. the w950 doesnt even have a camera so you will be lacking that.
So overall i would say go for k800. it depends on you really whats the main purpose of your phone is.
I dont want to start a debate, but how you can recommend a K800 over N93 is really beyond me.

I would agree that the N93's pictures are sharper than the K800 under good lighting conditions. However, if we switch to nigh-shots (say, potraits, or even a in-door party etc), where the Flash is needed, the k800 is a better choice.

I must say again, what you wrote shows what u look for in a phone. Camera isnt the only priority. Sure K800 beats N93 in stills(both day and night) but it looses to N93 in each and everything else, and i mean everything! Screen, connectivity, video, OS, durability, storage(easily and cheapily available micro SD cards).

Hello all, sorry for the late reply but thought after all your excellent input and opinions you's deserved to know which phone i finally went for:
The Nokia N93.
Sorry fellow esatonians, but the new SE's just didn't feel like too much of an upgrade for me, I was dissapointed with the lack of a camera and any external memory for the W950i, I was also dissapointed with the poor quality video camera in the K800i, and the P990i just dissapointed me overall - camera and everything else.
Test drove the N93 again and fell in love, the deal i ended up getting was:
Voda 12 month contract (I know they stung me in the past, but this deal was too good to pass!)
£40 per month with a choice of upgrade after 10 months.
800 minutes and 500 texts and 10 mb of internet usage.
Free insurance
Once i got the little (err, make that huge) beauty home i decided to dive right in, with my purchase i got the standard 128mb card (Pretty much only good for pics - i'll get onto that later) and a bonus 512mb card with the whole Mission Impossible 3 movie on it, with room to spare
The movie itself has been converted beautifully - hardly no artifacts on screen and the sound quality is brilliant, also skipping through the movie is a doddle using the directional pad.
Also Wi-Fi! I totally underestimated the improtance of this feature, i haven't got it set up yet at my own house but my friend has and wow! It's great to not be tied to the operator's astronimical charges of GPRS usages, sitting down in my mates house and instantly being able to surf the net free of charge (For me, anyway) is brilliant, and a feature that's missing in SE's offerings (I know the P990i has it though).
Now the camera, i'll start by saying this - It's fantastic.....BUT in anything but good lighting conditions all those lovely 3.2mp's are wasted, just as I though. The video is still ok in low light but only on the phone screen itself - Nokia could've benefitted greatly by the use of a proper flash like the K800i in this department. The video quality though while in good light is astonishing, i still can't get used to seeing such good quality on a mobile phone! My mates are amazed as well, i took two sample clips - one from my W900i and one from my N93, and the difference is seriously apparent - obviously. This good quality comes at a price however, whereas on the best setting my W900i weighs in at around 2mb a minute, the N93 takes a whopping 20-30mb a minute in video recording!!! Making the bundled 128mb look pretty useless for video at all.
Standard phone features are all there - converter/MMS/SMS/Phonebook/Calculator/Games etc.
One feature i really love is the TV out feature, having the ability to hook the phone up to my HDTV and view the whole phone, not just pics and Vids on the TV screen is legendary, and it gets a big thumbs up from me!
OS wise i still like SE's one better, but Nokia's is growing on me
I will still be watching these forums closely for any new SE announcements for new phones as they have not lost me as a customer just yet - that will go to there next line up of phones. And judging by the N93......
.....They need to pull the finger out and get cracking
Once again i'd like to thank everyone that gave me a view on which phone to buy, they really did help in my last decision

Congratulations! Even though I don't see myself using a nokia anytime soon the n93 is excellent, overall better than the k800i except the camera of course.
Enjoy your new mobile!

Sound choice mate. I personally LOVE my P990I, but the N93 is also very interesting and very good and it looks nice too, a bit un-Nokia like if you know what I mean.
You should wack some games on it too as it uses a high end Nvidia or ATI (Can't remember which) graphics and multimedia chip.

Two more questions:
Does anyone know where to actually get themes for this thing? And games too, anyone know where to get those?
Cheers for the help peeps
