14 DAY TRIAL // I thought the rumors and web leaked photos of future to be launched devices have ended, but as it seems, I was wrong. The guys that delivered my daily dose of leaked pictures today are the ones taking care of the nokiafriends.vn website, where I found some shots of the previously rumored to be launched N93i.
The successor of the N93 smartphone from Nokia, as I can figure out from the pictures that have surfaced the Internet, has almost the same features, the most obvious one being the 3.2 megapixel digital camera with Carl Zeiss lenses and a 3x optical zoom that all the N93 users are proud of.
It also seems to have a somewhat smaller body compared to its predecessor and it will provide a bonus joystick controller under the phone's record button that will offer the users the possibility to navigate through the handset's menus. On the same side of the phone, just under the joystick, one will find the memory expansion card slot thus providing a more ergonomic usage of the device.
As the N93 before him, the N93i will be a quad-band 3G WCDMA/EDGE/GSM mobile phone, working on 900, 1800, 1900 and 2100 MHz networks, and will offer its owner the ability to connect to any WLAN available while traveling.
Besides the ergonomic improvements and its rumored smaller size, the handset is also going to have a mirror effect front face that is surely going to get some of the "shiny looking phones" loving females out there under Nokia's consumer market umbrella.
Together with the photos I already mentioned, the information have been augmented by the assumed official announcing date of December 1st, a fact that actually makes me impatient to see some official photos of this supposedly N93 upgrade.
There still is a slight chance that this can be a hoax but, having this pretty looking pictures in front of us, the percentage of this being a fake drops almost to nil, so until the legitimate launch of the phone, we'll just have to live with this uncertainty.
