Hi all,
Just a quick update prior to my review, having collected my N93 with the new Firmware all i can say is start up up time has really been cut. Seeing as this is a smart phone i can't believe just how quick it is 28secs including entering my pin to to fully on. Also opening apps is now virtually instantaneous even with Tom Tom the globe spins for such a short time if you blink you'll miss it. The Camera problem when turning the screen to Landscape mode is now fixed no more front Camera activation and when going to Landscape from flip open mode there is no delay at all.

ya bro,

I'm in the states, I cant get the new firmware.

My N93 is too buggy! But it still handles the 2GB ok well its filled all the way up.

Do you know of anyway i can get the update?
thanks

is there any way to set in full screen any wp?

Posted by Dogmann
Hi Boba,
Yes Quickoffice and PDF's all open in wide screen if the phone is in Laptop mode the only app that doesn't so far is Tom Tom but to be honest i actually prefer the flip open view for this app anyway as it shows more information in this view IMO.

@americany13
The Nokia Software update service is now back online so just log on to the update service and you are good to go.

And somebody thought this thread was dead, pisshhhhh!

Glad to see you guys keeping it real on this thread.

Unfortunately for my please but fortunately for my career development I'll have to postpone my E90 & N65 & E61i purchases for the moment.

> I must purchase a BB Pearl unit for experience and learning.

Hi Prom1,
No problem bro variety is the spice of life i even tried out the TyTN a WM5 device just to see what it was all about. As at least some of us are open minded enough to buy devices that suit our needs and are not hooked on just one brand for the sake of being loyal to it. But for now at least until the E90 appears i have found my perfect combination N93 and 8800 Special Edition all bases covered both big and small and i can do everything i want with ease. Considering i hadn't really had many Nokia's till June 2006 i seem to have a serious addiction, anyone know if there's a Nokia's anonymous as i think i may need help LOL.

Marc,

I know a few people who could do with a trip to 'NA', as you put it!
Maybe even myself, as I'm toying with the idea of a 6290(really want the one from 3GSM with fp2) to play with............



Posted by BobaFett
anyone with 6300?

Will thear be a sucssesor to the Nokia N73 with better camera and Carl Zeiss optic ?

i saw the N73ME edition but im lokking fore something new.

Posted by BobaFett
n95 came out lately, i do hope, there will a block fone on the market soon, with n95 features in e60 design

Posted by Red_Rach
they need to bring out a phone with loads of features, in a more girly frame. There hasnt been a nice looking phone since the T86i which has loads of new features.

Posted by Red_Rach
Heres some pics with my N95 they arent very interesting and if you don't like feet, look away!



My poorly toe using macro mode:



Taken in a completly dark room:



I'm sure I can take some more interesting ones though!


Posted by BobaFett

Doesn't the N73 already have carl zeiss??

Posted by BobaFett
n73 has got cz techn

Posted by whizkidd
Yeah checked tht now.... Gsmarena says the pics from the N73 are on par with the K800/790... Just read the review there....

Posted by BobaFett
there some really nice comparisons, both fones have pro and cons, but when i had n90, the cz pix didnt impressed me that much, especiall the night pix were really low quality

Posted by whizkidd
Yeah but imho both cannot be compared... one is a "smart" phone. Me thinking of getting the N73 seriously...hence the interest..

Posted by BobaFett
of course not, i ment picture comparison talking about cz and cams. wish n73 had 16m screen and wifi. 2 of the reasons i didnt go for it.

if it did, N80 would be a flop

Posted by BobaFett
dont think so, cos many liked that slider solution and n80 is "smaller", at least it looks smaller cos of the design

Posted by QVGA
wouldnt a N80 type res be better than 16m screen?

Posted by BobaFett
n80 has got a brill screen, next to it few other models has got it yet. weird, that e61 got 16m too, but that crap resolution

dont cry knowing nokia, they ll pop up with sg interesting soon

Posted by bugsiiy
i see that the topic i once created hasn't been active in quite some while, so here is an update of my N93's condition:

- the paint is slightly worn in some places (especially on the back cover), mainly because i put it with the ipod in the same pocket (even the damned ipod lost it's "iPod" sign on the back and everytime i take it out of my pocket, it is black in some spots)
- the hinge wobbles only if desired so (if i make it do so with my hand)
- the battery life has decreased quite noticeably
- the cammera shutter button is all scratched and a has lost it's shine
- most annoying: a few days ago it started to light up the external screen by it's own, and it light's up once every few minutes.

How are the other members N-Series working?

Posted by Dogmann
Hi bugsiiy

I have recently sold my N93 but as it was always kept in a nice leather case it had suffered none of the things you have listed. The only thing was a very slight rub mark in only one spot from being put in Laptop mode. Otherwise everything was the way it should be and i had no issues with battery life either and yes i do miss it.

hi

my N70 takes crap pictures, especially at night. its on 3. Would upgrading the firmware to a new unbranded one help at all?

If so, what is the best thing to debrand the phone and its also not unlocked. last time i used da vinci, it screwed my SE k750i up.

Posted by scottt
Use NSS to change the N70's product code,

0536418 is the ME version of the N70's f/w (euro)

Then plug it in and update the f/w from NUS

Easy

Posted by etaab
The external screen lighting up issue is to do with dodgy themes - the phone should only do it with 3rd party themes and not when an original Nokia theme is used, or a 3rd party theme that is fully compatible.

As for issues, my N93 is 8 months old now, and the only problems i have is a collection of dust inside the other LCD, and a small pin-prick size hole in the paintwork where the lug on the phones keypad has worn it away when the flip is put into what you call laptop mode.

Oh, and i no longer have a lens cover, i broke that myself months ago.

nice pics, but i disagree with the autofocus reliability on your windshield, N93's autofocus is a passive type one, it relies on light waves(infrared light) to get the right focus so the windshield does not make sense on the reliability of that type of AF, but if only N93 uses active autofocus which uses "soundwaves" then the windshield with be really a hindrance for it's accuracy.

Posted by bugsiiy
since this is the N Series thread, i will ask here, does it worth changing my N93 for an N95? How is the N95 sound compared with N93 and with SE W series?

@razec i almost forgot about that post, long time has passed since i made that post. As for the technical content of your post, i don't know which kind of AF does the N93 have

i wouldnt upgrade, unless GPS is a must.

Posted by Dogmann
@bugsiiy

I wouldn't upgrade as if GPS is important to you it is better to buy a stand alone GPS receiver and Tom Tom which IMHO will give a much better result. The 16m colour screen is not a great improvement over the stunning N93 screen either so the only real advantage i can see is the 3.5m jack but using a AD-46 is better as it allows you to make and answer calls with ease, plus of course the N95 has HSDPA.

Personally i never saw the N95 as enough of an upgrade to interest me i am either going to get an E90 once released or if i have enough self control wait to see what else Nokia announce shortly. Although i usually run two devices i am more than happy with my E61 and really would like to see the next incarnation of this device if i can wait that long, if not the N81/N82 are likely to be my next devices if i resist the E90.

thank you for the thourough reply but it still kind of missed my first question, how is the sound experience in both n93 and n95? (well i know that in n93 it sucks) I want to know this because if the sound is better by default in the n95 then surely i'll ditch my n93, get an n95 and a pair of Sennheiser cx300 headphones.

Posted by QVGA
Sound in N93 does not suck. Clearly you have no idea, from my experience with all N series, they have the same brilliant sound quality except N91 which is better than all N series. Sound in N95 is similar to N93

Posted by Dogmann
@bugsiiy

Can you explain why you think the sound sucks from the N93 as i found it to be excellent in fact the only surprise i had was that the sound from the E61 is just as good even though it doesn't have as powerful processor.

The only thing i can think of is that you are using the supplied headset which is not a good idea IMO or that you are encoding your Music @ to low a conversion to fit more on. Try encoding with the Nokia Music Manager in AAC @ the ultra high 160kbps and use a decent set of headphones nad i am pretty sure your opinion will change.

i have tried the HPM-70 (the W series headphones) and the sound is nowhere compared with the W800 for example

Posted by shanespencer
I find the sound to be excellent using my Sennheiser PX100s. I've had a W800, K800 and W900, and there's not a big enough difference between those phones and the N95 to make me feel that the N95 sound is disappointing. I'm more than happy with it.

Posted by Dogmann
@bugsiiy

Not being funny but they really aren't what i would call proper headphones and also @ what bit rate is your music converted @ and in which format? as all of those factors will effect the results greatly. As i have said 160kbps ACC with either Sony MDR-EX71SL or Shure EC2g using the AD-46 produces great results with a variety of different Music.

well i left the music how it was (128 or 192 kbps) and mp3 format

Hi everyone
Well my SE W900 recently died due to WSOD and i didnt like the replacement Voda gave me SO i decided to get a Nokia N80 since i was so curious about s60 and Nseries specificaly. I can say i made a great choice,im loving this lil monster lol, i might get a N95 either now or next year because im now HOOKED on to Nokia s60 phones i have recently also playd with my friends' Nokias including N70,N73,N91-8GB, 6680, 6630 AND 7610, ALL great phones but i feel i took the greatest all rounder besides N95, my only problem with my N80 is that it seems to suffer from a bit of memory leakage everytime i use Opera Mini or MXit java appz, i got Handy Taskman and the other day i was ONLY using Opera Mini and checked how much ram i had left the phone had gone from 15mb RAM to only 486kb of RAM, with ONLY OPERA MINI running, wats wrong with my N80? How can get sum ram bak wen it does that? Thanx in advance

Posted by shug
Fraid this is common to all s60 phones. The only way to get all your ram back is to restart the phone. The case you mention sounds extreme but when you closed opera you should have had maybe 12 or 13 mb again.

Posted by Danny_BFC
Sold my N73 last week and missing it already

Posted by BobaFett
then take an e series fone imo and let yourself amaze by it. imo u wont regret it ( in case cam isnt important for u )

Posted by GUCCI.011
@ shug,yep when i closed Opera Mini my ram shot rite back up to 15.88mb
@boba,lol thanx for the suggestion,i like the eseries my dad has the E61 and E70 but they just dont do it for me, i like my N80 a lot more,and i just like the Nseries a lot more,enjoyd every Nseries ive used (N91-4GB/8GB,N73,N80,N95,N70 and N70ME) Id love to play with an E90 thou bt otherwise Nseries is perfect for me,especialy that N81
