[videoblogging] Re: Nokia N93 users
Yeah Ive got the N95 and whilst the ability to watch h264 videos on it is nice, I dont think it renders the N93 obsolete, either of these models would be a good choice depending on exactly what else you want from the device. The N95 is definately a bit heavy on the battery use, which isnt a problem for me but could be considered a fatal flaw for some.

It's had a LOT of use, and even though it's pretty battle damaged, it's still going strong. In the UK we have a 3G phone network, so I get to use it as a phone as well as a video camera. You can see it in action on all 190 or so posts at http:// twittervlog.tv/ It's brilliant. But it does crash occasionally. And it's poor in low light. That's about all the bad things I have to say about it. The battery's pretty good. Good enough for me, anyway. The N95 is the one with real battery problems, I hear, but that's a lot to do with all the things you have running on the system, like GPS. It has a built-in editor and wifi, so you can shoot, cut and email your video to Blip, who will then auto-crosspost to your blog if you want (and add tags). You need never touch a bloody computer to post a videoblog ;) I got the cheapest mini SD memory card I could - 2GB - and didn't notice any change in the crashing frequency or speed of it. Other people on this list who have them are David Howell and Steve Garfield. Go for it - good luck :) On 24 Oct 2007, at 23:54, johnleeke wrote: I'm ready to buy an N93 for vlogging here in the US. Where did you buy yours? When? What brand of memory chip works best? How many hours/minutes of video shooting do you get per battery charge? Have you had any battery problems?

Ive not heard that specific tale about batteries, but it might apply to buying an extra battery from a 3rd party. Nokia bateries are not that cheap, so when some appear for sale at amazing prices, some people tend to think they are either fakes or defective ones, and they could be right. But as for the battery you will get with the Nokia when you buy it, I would think if there were any problems with it then youd be well within your rights to get it exchanged. As for where to buy, Im not in the USA so probably cant help. And regarding memory sticks, Im not so sure about the N93, its possible the N95 can support the larger capacity sticks that now exist, and the N93 cant, but need to check my facts on that one.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Nokia N93 users
I was desperate enough to buy an apparently genuine Nokia battery from a dealer in Liverpool Street Station. Worked for about half an hour, then completely broke. But I only paid £10 for it, so I should have known. I didn't really care. I needed to make some calls and a video, and it let me do that. I hadn't heard the rumour about defective batteries slipping back into the market, but that makes sense. It was identical to the battery I got with my phone (which was fine, of course), including the hologram.
