    That game is brilliant fun...and it looks amazing in that video, at first I thought it looked little better then what current symbian devices are running (The current version of ONE running on symbian now being an obvious example) but the fluidity and lighting in the video are beautiful....that said though, as any sort of gaming device, regardless of how powerful it is, the N93 will sell very little on this point.....

    The N93 looks like a heck of a phone but i'd be worried about that single little hinge holding together long term, any Nokia i ever had always got creaky after a few months use! Still VGA video is some boast for a phone! And that "one" game looks absolutely amazing! I'll be tempted.........

    Whats the chance of Slowdafone/o2/3 releasing this though.........

    This will probably be released here though Nokia N73
    It has almost as many features as the N93 (Minus the Wi-fi and VGA vids), will be a lot cheaper and would be nice as my upgrade come September.

    Ok,I think I'm going to bite the bullet as I found a better price here

    Apx €715 euro which is manageable if I sell my 6680 and get a good price.

    well tbh it's probably just me but any site that you have to email to get a price seems dodgey to me.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme - a bit on pyramid schemes.

    Finally got my hands on an N93 yesterday :)

    The camera is very impressive and the TV out is genius. Graphics on games are PSP quality. Though the Wlan setup was very awkward but got it working eventually but don't ask me how!

    Unfortunately though I can't stream media from my PC as the software that came with the N93 is a bit strange. It won't detect my n93 in the devices part of it. Anyone here any experience with using the Home Media Server software??

    How much did you pay for it? Was it Sim free or contract? Did you get the mms settings etc all set up easily (for which operator)?
    thanks!

    I paid 650 in total sim free. MMS settings were downloaded automatically using the 'settings wizard' in the phone so couldnt have been easier.

    If you don't mind me asking, but where did you buy it?
