Give Me a 720p Nokia Phone – Successor To Nokia N93

Remember when the Nokia N93 revolutionized the mobile world by bringing near DVD video recording quality to a phone? Soon afterwards, most Nseries devices carried over the 640×480 resolution and 30 frames per second recording as a standard feature. Now that Youtube is “HD”, video bloggers will get curious with compact High-Def camcorders. Nokia needs to take advantage of this by bringing out an HD video phone.

Kodak Zi6 capable of shooting HD videos. Where’s Nokia?

Right now, you can get a compact HD 720p (1280×720 resolution) camcorder that are easy on the wallet. I don’t want to get into an argument with video experts what real HD is supposed to be versus internet HD, but if you want your videos on Youtube to have the “watch in HD” option, the current popular options are the Kodak Zi6 for $140, or the Flip MinoHD and the new Creative Labs Vado 8GB for $200 each.

The Nokia 5800 and Nokia N97 are phones that record videos at widescreen aspect, but only at 640×360 resolution. That is far from being “HD.”

Am I alone with this request or are there others that want to start shooting videos with their phone that people can watch on Youtube in HD?
