Nokia N93 Cell Phone

Nokia has thought of a phone to but a digital camera and a phone together. You can open it up in two ways 1. Like a flip phone and 2. Like a camera/ camcorder swivel design. The phone has a 50mb of internal memory, enough memory to store in videos and photos. The video camera is capable with MPEG-4 VGA. The camera has an eight digital zoom to zoom in things/someone that is far away and the video has 3x optical zoom. The camera/camcorder has a flash to see in dark places and a self timer that clocks down when you what to take a picture with everyone. The camera has 3.2 megapixels. It has different shooting modes; auto, user, close up, landscape, night and night portrait. Also you can record up to an hour and with night and automatic shooting modes. The screen has a 320 x 240 pixel resolution. There is a mini SD slot to put in mini SD cards. This phone comes with a music player, Bluetooth, FM Radio and Wi-Fi. Also this phone has email capabilities to email friends and family on the go. If you can’t see the font of the text and someone is calling then there is picture I.D. to look at friends and family when they call. The phone runs on an OS 9.1. There is also speed dial to call someone up and with just using the numbers 1-99. This phone can stay alive for ten day on one single charge. For talk time the phone can stay alive for 5.1 hours.

There are some parts that Nokia needs to improve on. The zoom slider is difficult when used in one hand. The phone is clunky and heavy and hard to use. If some people can’t see the font then it would be hard because you can’t change the font on the phone. The external display is small and hard to see. There aren’t any external controls. This phone is not for everybody that love all in one phones.

This phone is unique in different ways. The digital camera/ phone is something I would never think of. To me it seems like it is big and bulky and hard to handle. Plus if it falls on the floor it probably can snap in half or break the digital camera part. When not in use the phone can turn into a digital camera or a camcorder. Nokia has designed a good phone but to me I don’t think it’s for everyone. This phone is probably for people that want an all in one phone and this is defiantly not for children under 13.
