The Nokia N93 combines an impressive digital camcorder, telephone and rich Internet communication functionalities into a single pocket device.

Last month Nokia introduced the Nokia N93 a pocket computer phone that raises the bar in Video capabilities.

Unfold and twist the main display, and the Nokia N93 becomes ready to shoot video and photos using the color landscape display as a full screen viewfinder. It features MPEG-4 VGA video capture at 30 frames per second with stereo audio recording and digital stabilization, enabling smooth and shake-free movies.

You can connect the Nokia N93 directly to your TV for a widescreen movie experience or upload your images and video to online albums or blogs. The bundled Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 software lets you create high-quality home movies and burn them to DVD.

Digital imaging is built around a 3.2 megapixel (2048 x 1536 pixels) camera with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, 3x optical zoom and up to 20x digital zoom, as well as autofocus and close-up mode for amazing clarity. An active camera toolbar displays all available capture features, from exposure value to color tones and white balance. There are dedicated keys for shutter, zoom and flash and also a camera mode key that enables you to switch quickly and easily between image and video capture.

The large internal memory of up to 50 MB, can be further expanded with a hot swap miniSD card of up to 2 GB, allowing you to capture up to 90 minutes of DVD-like quality video or close to 2500 high-quality photos.

Part of the Nokia Nseries multimedia computer range, the Nokia N93 offers great functionality in one beautifully shaped connected device. Designed to work on WLAN, 3G (WCDMA 2100 MHz), EDGE and GSM (900/1800/1900 MHz) networks, the Nokia N93 provides broadband Internet access for browsing, uploading content, and sending and receiving emails, allowing you to stay connected on the move. You can also set the device on a surface, flip the display horizontally and use the landscape screen to browse the Web, watch TV over 3G networks, or make hands-free video calls.

The Nokia N93 includes a stereo FM radio and a digital music player. You can create playlists and enjoy your music hands-free via the speaker or use the stereo headset provided. With the Nokia Music Manager, you can easily rip your CDs and transfer your music collection to your phone. In addition, you can store up to 1500 songs on your Nokia N93 with a separately available 2 GB miniSD card. You can also enjoy high-quality 3D games with the pre-installed N-Gage franchise System Rush: Evolution.

The Nokia N93, which is based on S60 3rd Edition software on Symbian OS, is expected to become commercially available in July 2006 with an estimated, unsubsidized sales price of approximately 550 euros.
