Bookmark topic
I'd say in general the N73 is a better phone, as has been mentioned already the N93 is a bit more of a niche product - most of the people I've met can't stand the N93 for its size and weight.
Personally I went for the N93, I like the flip design which gives it one of the best keypads I have used unlike some of the other S60 handsets which have to pack too many buttons together in too small a space. Another big plus for the N93 is its wifi support which to my surprise works extremely well (I find Windows Mobile wi-fi to be intermittent at best). There's also the 3x optical zoom which gives a decent range to work with although the quality isn't as good as I'd hoped, pictures can look quite blocky.
Some people say it's daft but I don't like having a phone everyone else has, I see a lot of N73s around but never seen another N93 - you could say there's good reason for that but I'm pleased with mine.
Biggest complaint is reception, I'm not sure how the N73 fairs here but where the W900i can just cling onto a mobile signal, the N93 cannot - it also seems to waste quite a bit more power in low reception areas than my other handsets. Bit strange given the large flip design, you would expect it to have excellent reception - the older 6310i beats it hands down here. Have to admit, wouldn't be the first Nokia to put features ahead of core phone functionality.

As a fellow N93 owner know what you mean about not every one having one. As for signal strength i have the opposite experience and find that my N93 always gives the best signal out of the phones i have with me. But then i am with T-Mobile and have selected UMTS only so no searching for signal's the whole time might be a worth a try for you. Still pictures may not be quite as good a s the N73 but IMO there isn't much in it. Everything else i am very happy with the way my N93 handles them. I really think the Safari browser is class leading, E-mail is also both easy to setup and works flawlessly and don't regret my purchase at all. In fact so far have seen nothing to even tempt me to upgrade but am sure something will turn up eventually.

My sister is using N93 now. It seem so HUGH in size, but it packs with great functions. For myself, i'm a New Nokia N73 ME user, it seem cool, class, everything is fine.
For my opinion, if you need wifi & a giant phone with features, stay with N93 ; if you need a 3MP camera and a phone which can fit your pocket, take N73 or N73 ME.
