most important is how it takes videos in clips or continious mode till you want to stop taking videos

A friend has this handset. Personally, I dislike its looks but that is subjective. As far as video is concerned, it has got a front cam and a side cam. The 3.2 MP camera (if I remember that correctly) on the side can be used for recording videos. Twisting the screen to face the person recording the video gives it a nice, handy-cam like design.
Yes, it can take continuous videos. The only factor limiting would be the free space in the memory card, get a big 2 Gig memory card and you can continuously record videos (time length will depend on the quality which you are recording).
I just located I video taken from this handset stored on my PC. Its encoded in MPEG4 format out of box, 640x480 resolution, the audio is recorded as AAC 48000Hz stereo. It looks pretty decent considering it was a low lighted room in which we made the recording. And, hold your breath, this 2 minutes 43 seconds video is 58MB in size.
Then as far as running applications are concerned, its got a decent stable operating system, decent speed. Remember though that N93 runs on Symbian OS 9.1, fairly new, and there are still not too many applications for this OS (though that will change in a couple of months for sure).
PS: Don't ever ever go for Nokia 6680 as suggested by someone. It is a disgusting handset. How am I so sure? because I own its sister-set, Nokia 6681. It looks nice and all, a decent camera and ok stability, but simply has no RAM to be of any real use to a power/advanced user (about 9MB RAM, not the storage memory, mind you but the inbuilt phone memory). Its a total POS. You can barely run memory hungry apps like Opera browser, multimedia player and a call manger at the same time without something crashing or closing for lack of memory.
Nokia N93 is a good smart phone but NOKIA 6680 is the best. Don't go for prices, go for quality and lastings. It provides every features you need and NOKIA 6680 gives you the best picture and video quality with two cameras. It also has a 3G, UTMS, GSM, GPRS, Triband and Dualband services. Buy and you will enjoy its fruitful profits.
