We had a chance to play with the just released Nokia N93. This is the first Nokia phone that features Texas Instrument's OMAP 2 chip.

It is rather interesting to notice that this chip uses Imagination Technologies 3D engine and supports all kind of nice video features.

We had a chance to check this rather big phone - it has Carl Zeiss lenses and can record both video and still images with resolution up to 3.2 Mpixels.

The phone is shipping with the SRP of €500 + VAT that varies depending on the country. We haven't played any 3D games but the chap from Nokia showed us some nice browser options. This phone uses MBX marchitecture and offers some Shader programmability and support for Open ES.

Here is a picture of the device in action ...



... and we have to add that N93 cannot do DVB-H, you will have to wait for N92 for that. <<

TI's OMAP 3 Comes Mid Next Year

Texas Instruments confirmed that OMAP 3, the next generation fully programmable 3D chip for mobile phones comes next year. The chap told us to expect to see the chip by the middle of the year and the phones to follow by the end of next year, 2007.

This new chip isn’t even ready to be demonstrated but the Texas Instrument already speaks about it on its web site. It will take some time till it reaches the silicon stage.

This is a demonstration of OMAP 2 chip, or 2230 how the company calls it. It can do DVB-H and we suspect that Nokia N92 has one of these in its belly. <<
