Nokia N93 R10 000!!!

It's basically just a digital camera that can make and receive calls. How retarded. I'd rather get a top of the range digital camera, and a midrange cellphone for the same R10k.

That is all depending on what you see as 'top of the range' :D

Certainly not the crappy 3.2MP 3x optical zoom that the N93 comes with :D
 
Geez, why is it that expensive? Is it because it's new or what? You can buy a PDA-phone with GPS/Win Mobile/3G and all that in for less [with an actual keyboard!] ..and people say the I-mates are expensive?

I don't see anything special about the specs, other than the camera..but even that isn't really that extraordinary, doesn't all the new phones come out with 2+ MP cameras anyway?

The specs seem to hint that the phone is suppose to be a "photography/video/digital" type of phone, yet they didn't bother to put in a VGA screen? [only got QVGA] huh?... It doesn't even look to be a smartphone [with mobile office/excel etc] ?! Am i missing something?

best thing about it is that it records in 640x480 (dvd quality)

..problem with that is, look at how much space you have to store your DVD quality movies... Even the Mini-SD card [which probably won't be larger than 1GB and another small fortune if you want more] is not enough to actually do more than capture short clips...?? Or rather, if you are touring , you most certainly won't be using this as your camcorder ;)
 
DVD quality is not 640x480, furthermore it would have to record in surround sound too.

AFAIK it records into MPEG4 so you'll be able to fit a whole lot more into 1GB than with MPEG2

Technically DVD quality is 720x480 (NTSC), 720x576 (PAL); non-square pixels.

In that case you'll get a couple of hours of good quality into 1Gb. If it has a good hardware encoding engine. Otherwise you'd need two pass encoding.
