> P990 or N93?
Bookmark topic
I'm interested in both of these phones - mainly because they are both 'feature rich' and they (hopefully) will be released next month or July!
I'm looking for a page like this:
http://www.esato.com/phones/index.php/phone=185,cp=184
to compare the P990 and the N93. Maybe with a bit more detail - like what kind of wireless connectivity each has (e.g. b and/or g).
On a releated note, can a phone with just wireless b connect to a wireless g network; or can a wireless g network refuse connections from b clients?
Anyone else buying one of these phones - if so, why not the other one?
Thanks for looking,
W.

You just hit the nail on the head for me, I am also not sure which one to go with.
I don't mind having a PDA Phone as i had the p800 and p900 before but since then i have the Nokia 8800 since i always loved the Metal Feel of the 8000 Series Phones and it does more or less everything for me, except for one thing, the TomTom.
I need a Tomtom device, ie All in one or tomtom compatable phone, and i opted for the phone, as it is less things to carry.
I belive both the p990i and n93 will support the tomtom software and i dont really miss the p800 or p900 apart from it's games and how much can you really surf on a phone even if it has wifi.
so i am also still rather confused. maybe the size will decide for me once both models are out.

For me its the nokia N80, 3mp cam, plus wifi, quadband, plus 3g, size is good compared to p990, slider form factor is a killer for me!

ok this one is a hard one,if you don't need touchscreen you should definitely go for Nokia N93,if you want touchscreen then you should choose P990.Let's just say that P990 has it all but not the best,N93 lacks the touchscreen but the other components are way better than nokia's

i would probably say N93 becoz atthe rateatwhich SE is going the N93 might just be released earlier than the p990

p990i cos the n73 has bad battery life and is just a poor phone alltogether.

Good question.
I was originally going for N93 since I'm tired of waiting for P990 and actually I find it more time consuming and impractical to use a touchscreen.. And besides, the first impression of N93 is like WOW! .. BUT! when I looked at the size and weight of N93, I quickly changed my mind.. It's going to be really rellay huge. Especially when unfolded. IMO a mobile phone can't be any bigger than the P series.. They are at the outer limit..
So, the N80 for me then.. the best allround phone I've found so far..
Oh, the best page for comparing mobiles is this one btw:

tbh I have just compared all of nokia's new N series against the p990i, there are not many differences but some are major.
1. the biggest difference by far is...... BATTERY LIFE, I couldnt believe it, if you look at nokia's n80 they expect it to have a talk time of 3hours! The p990 is expected to be 9hours. If you actually expect to use these phones for more than just taking pics i suggest you buy lots of chargers.
2. The other difference is weight, the n93 is almost 40g heavier than the p990, that significantly more power available if a would be mugger attempts to steal it, however the only other benefit is to your leg muscles!
3. The other difference which works in favour of nokia is the wireless g that they have and SE dont. This is the only real feature that is likly to have any real effect.
my minds made up, sit it out, bitch about SE untill p990 comes out, then sit with smug grin.

Yeah I've noticed that too. The battery life is shit on Nokia in general but one can always buy a spare one. I don't think that it should be a concern for a regular user charging the phone every night anyways. A business man or salesman may think otherwise though.. It's all down to personal taste.
