    Just in case anyone is thinking of buying an n93, don't! Here's a list of issues with this phone, that Nokia have no intention of sorting out. Hopefully others won't waste their money like I have :

    I disagree, I had the phone for a while and it was a great phone, the original firmware did have problems, however there were two updates since then, I flashed the phones myself and with the latest firmware it was fine.

    Nokia do seem to have problems with their own online firmware update, so probably best to bring to a Nokia service centre who will flash it for free

    Have this phone too and I must say I think its a great phone!

    Photo quality is not the best but I have yet to come across a mobile phone that takes anything the quality of photo that a decent Canon will do.....

    Other than that though, in my opinion, it is by far the best smartphone on the market at the moment with a great form factor. That could all change when the N95 arrives though!

    If you read the post on my blog, you will see that Nokia Service Centres are unable to flash n93s, and Nokia have disabled n93 Firmware upgrades on their own website. It is now an unsupported product, and although hundreds have posted on Nokia's website asking for some sort of update from the Engineers, we've heard nothing whatsoever back.

    For the record, the latest firmware still has issues, and they're debated with great gusto on the Nokia Forums.

    I have a 350d SLR too for professional photography, but I wouldn't dream of comparing a mobile to it. What I'm comparing my n93 to, is my previous n90 - which was only 2 MP, and far exceeded the meagre quality the n93 produces.
