The N90 scores with its smaller size, the more flexible cover display, the more flexible camera module, greater free RAM and better third party application compatibility.
The N93 mainly scores with its VGA video recording facility and slightly superior optics, with higher resolution, better hardware camera controls and flexible, brighter display with UPnP or direct cable piping to a TV or similar if needed. Plus Wi-Fi, of course. There's far more of a focus on the camera with the N93 though - the high-spec video recording and its playback is the whole point of the device.
The typical buyer of the N93 won't be that interested in running games or web browsing or listening to music. He or she will buy it to split duties between phone, camera and camcorder, and I'd expect them to use a 2GB card for maximum recording time, with no other files on the card. The N90 buyer, on the other hand, wants a good camera, it's true, but knows there's more to a smartphone than being a makeshift digital camera, and will be using office and PIM applications, games, music players and so on. It's a very different scenario for a very different device.
More thoughts on the N93 in full review, coming shortly.
