The Semacode forum system (based on the wonderful Sympa MLM ) has been updated.

Also, pretty much everyone in the semacode family, including myself, is either on vacation or about to go on vacation for the rest of the month. Have a nice August :-)

For those who are following the story: After I did my first segment for Call For Help my chase producer asked if I wanted to come back. When the Nokia N93 came along it seemed like the ideal subject. Doing a review seemed like a small matter of days. Alas, that was not to be. I wound up with 1.5 months of research and so much to talk about that it didn't fit into the 5 minute segment that they taped (airs in a few weeks, stay tuned). That spawned this more complete, definitive (heh) blog review.

I guess I have to start with the stuff you already know. Yes, it has a 3.2 MP camera , 3x optical zoom, DV-quality camcorder , flip with 2 degrees of freedom, MP3 player , ... and last but not least, a phone. I think that the general idea is that you can throw away your consumer grade digicam ($150), your DV camcorder ($400) and your iPod ($250) and your old phone ($150) and get an N93 instead ($900).
