Disappointing news reaches us that Nokia will not be updating the glorious-looking Nokia N93 any time soon. In fact, the marvellous twisty form-factor will not be used on any new Nokia phone until at least 2010. This is sad, as the N93 was genuinely innovative and really makes the phone stand out head and shoulders above its competition.
The N93 was one of the first N-Series phones, and really helped established the brand as cutting edge. With its mix of shapes that it could pull, you were never entirely sure whether it was a phone, a camcorder or a PDA, but that was part of its appeal. Indeed, the form factor was validated by the fact that many new dedicated camcorders now sport a similar look. Sadly, though, Nokia has decided to leave the design to them, and have deemed it either to be too unwieldy or simply too fat for a mobile phone.
I guess this is only to be expected, as the recent trend has been for phones to slim down. By 2010, though, we can expect all of the technological marvels that were squeezed into the N93 to be small enough to fit into a device with a similar form factor, but that is much smaller, which I guess is good news. Until then, it might not be a bad idea to snap one of these beauties up either new or on EBay, as if ever a phone was destined to be a collectible, the N93 is it.
