So what does Engadget think of the Nokia N93?

When the N93 does its origami thing to become a full-fledged cam, it's in its element. This is simply where the device shines. While handling it like this seems just a bit unnatural at first (due largely to the lack of thickness in the phones bottom half when compared to a camcorder), you quickly warm up to it and realize that this is what shooting pics and videos from your phone should be all about. The capture button and zoom rocker are logically placed under the thumb, while a secondary d-pad directly below allows you to interact normally with the user interface. We found the optical zoom to be a bit noisy and chintzy sounding, but seeing how "optical zoom" and "phone" are not typically in the same sentence, we're going to let that bit slide. Picture quality was very good, and the N93 could probably take the place of a low-end point-and-shoot camera for most folks — if you stuff the phone with enough storage via its miniSD slot, that is. We weren't in love with the protective cover on the lens, which we found nearly impossible to get off the first time (and still difficult on subsequent attempts) and was not attached to the phone in any way. We'd lose it in a week or less of ownership, guaranteed.

If you love flickr, and if you love youtube, this phone is the Web 2.0 definition of the word Sex. Think we'll see an HD model in this form factor by the end of 2007? I certainly think so.
