N93 vs. K800i vs A990

I want a phone with a 3 MP camera, and have it narrowed down to these three, and I'm going nuts trying to decide. I live in San Francisco and don't leave it much, so coverage *shouldn't* be an issue. I have the money to buy the N93, but the cheaper the better. Your opinions? And is the K790 quad band the same as the K800 tri band?

Nokia N93: (T-Mobile)
Pros: Camcorder, ultra cool, Zeiss lens, zoom, best quality pics of the 3, large screen
Cons: $800, only tri-band coverage, risk of price dropping a day after I buy it

SE K790a:
Pros: CyberShot, moderately cheaper $500, 850/1900 ghz
Cons: Bar type phone, easy to scratch cover, risk of price dropping, triband coverage, smaller screen (i think?).

Samsung A990: (Verizon)
Pros: Cheapest (~$200), large screen, quad band coverage
Cons: That ugly verizon red bar UI, rather flimsy (to me at least) feeling flip cover.

I'd get the K790a or a Nokia N73

I agree with N73 or K790.

The N93 dropping in price isn't a risk, its a given.

The N73 also takes better pictures than the N93.

The only reason to buy the N93 over the N73 at this point is Video capabiility (and form factor).

I would pick the K790, slap a screen protector, and with the Xenon flash your OK to snap pics in all kinds of lighting conditions. Not so with the other two.

WiFi/WLAN too.
