Nokia does it again!
I was out in the garden yesterday, shooting a short sequence on video recording tips for the N70 and N90 for my free Smartphones Show. At the end of the piece, I remarked to camera that I had no doubt that DVD-quality recording on your smartphone was probably less than two years away.
One webcast later and I had to axe that section of my footage. The Nokia N93, announced today, has full VGA (640 by 480 pixel) recording at 30 frames per second, with professional optics, mechanical zoom, easily enough to sideline just about every amateur video camcorder in existence.

When you consider that in my piece yesterday I was enthusing about the quality of the Nokia N70/N90, themselves a league ahead of anything else in a smartphone, the N93’s stance is all the more impressive. Mind you, we’ve still got another four months before it’s officially on sale anywhere (at around 550 Euros, or about £400) and probably a good six to eight months before it’s available widely, but it certainly sounds like it’ll be worth the wait.

This is one cool smartphone, I hope it’ll be available soon, it has just been FCC approved anyway. Dvd like video with Stabilization, really nice! I heard it also has 3D acceleration graphics, this’ll be AWSOME!
Nice Review by the by.
