Introduction

Nokia's N93 is the Swiss Army knife of cell phones, a teeming tenement of technologies. A 3.2 MP digital camera and a 30 frame per second (fps) camcorder are a combination available on no other phone besides the N93 (at least, not as this is being written). This phone also has camcorder-like ergonomics with a swivel-up-and-around 2.4-inch LCD screen, WiFi connectivity, an MP3 player with stereo Bluetooth, and lots of included multimedia software that turns the phone into a pocket PC. And as a tri-band EDGE/GSM 900/1800/1900 phone, the N93 is compatible with high-speed EDGE networks all over the world.

However, the real dichotomy of this phone is its availability. Most phones in the U.S. are "locked," meaning they can be used only with the carrier that sells it. The N93, however, like phones in the rest of the world, is unlocked, which means you can slip in a SIM card from any GSM carrier (e.g. Cingular or T-Mobile, in the U.S.). But because it's unlocked and not available through a U.S. carrier, it's not subsidized by a carrier who sells most handsets at below cost, making up the loss via your long-term service commitment. As a result, expect to pay around $700 for this not-so-tiny wonder.

As n incentive, when you buy the phone, you get a 512MB miniSD card containing a full-length "Mission Impossible III" that can only be watched on the phone.
