Nokia 9500 Communicator

The Nokia 9500 is the latest in a very long line of cult devices, which probably started way back in 1984 with the Psion organiser. Though Nokia don't go out of their way to advertise the link, the direction that they have taken with the Nokia Communicator has a lot to do with the success of the Psion product line. The philosophy has not changed since 1984 - the aim has always been to produce "a full-featured microcomputer in your pocket." Psion ...
...system, EPOC, together with Nokia and Ericsson. The group was rebadged to "Symbian". It is this operating system, several versions along, that powers the Nokia 9500... and the aim still has not changed. The 9500 still aims to be that "full-featured microcomputer in your pocket". As its heritage would suggest, the device is still programmable. OPL runtime and scripting environment can be downloaded and installed. Personal Java and MIDP software run ...

Review of Nokia 9500 Communicator

Introduction The Nokia 9500 mobile phone is a pretty clever communicator device from Nokia. And once you've had a good look at it you'll find that it's as much a PC as a mobile phone. It is around 2 cm shorter than previous Communicators, and so when you hold it, it feels less like a brick and more like a normal phone than older models in the series. Business Features When you open it up and switch on, there's a qwerty keyboard with a very large ...
...absence, and you wonder how Nokia could have left out such a run-of-the-mill, but very handy, feature. While you can reply to texts externally, the email is read only ad you'll have to open up the phone to write a response and to send. One thing I liked about the 9500 is the speakerphone, which is automatically turned on by opening the clamshell during a call. this means you can do all your internet browsing and writing whilst you are talking on ...

Review of Nokia 9500 Communicator

Ive had a whole series of nokias, i went through 6 in 6months at one point. But my last two have lasted a while. The most recent and my current fone the 9500. Lets start with the brief downside. Well i say brief, its the sheer size of the handset. Its huge. Yes it fits in your pocket, just about, its uncomfy in your jeans but it gets in there ! Thats about the only bad thing i can think of, and lets face it, if you're thinking of buying one of ...
...size, more what it can do. ....oh actually the camera, its garbage, pointless indeed. Although if you want a camera, buy one. Even the newer camera fones dont have a lense to match even the lowest end of brand digital cameras. So that is more a point for all fones than this model in particular. Well as with other fones ive owned, i dont use anywhere near enough features. The ones i do use are excellent. Wireless browsing is the best point for me. ...

But not only the 9500 mobile phone is also equipped with Bluetooth and infrared to connect to the computer and can share files between your phone. 9500 mobile phone is like that because I have wifi, so we do not need to use gprs connection enough to find a place that we can provide hotspot to connect to the Internet and the speed internet connection is not lost with the computer because this is like a mobile computer.

...even come close to the Nokia 9500 Communicator, are the Sony Ericsson P910I, and the Sony Ericsson P900, they are the only phone's that even come close to the Nokia 9500 Communicator, but they are a little less expensive, and they dont have as many applications as the Nokia 9500 Communicator!!!! This phone has many applications as you can fit on a PC, really it does, i recently purchased a CD which had over 1000 applications especially for the Nokia ...
...it still has the old nokia menu, as in the original Nokia phones. The phone is available via contract, or you can buy it sim-free, but at a costly price of around four or five hundred pounds. This phone is definitley worth having, and the amount of accessories you can get for it is unreal!!!! This phone is probably the best Nokia has ever made and probably always will be one of the best for many years to come!!!! ...

Review of Nokia 9500 Communicator

I’ve had a SIM-free 9500 for four months now. Before that I was using a SIM-free 9210 as my main phone. The 9500 is 9% lighter and takes up 15% less volume, though friends and colleagues still call it a “brick”. ;) The hinge of the case feels much stronger and durable. The keyboard is much nicer to use than the 9210’s – the keys have a much more positive action. And there are two shift keys at last! There’s a rocker key for scrolling as well as arrow ...
...you’re viewing the web. Bluetooth and GPRS are easy to configure and work well. WiFi is also easy to set up and use, though it does eat the battery a bit faster when it’s enabled. The supplied apps work well after a short startup delay the first time you launch them. The web app is a major improvement over the 9210 version, normally managing to squeeze pages into the width of the display. Browsing works well – the phone browser identifies itself ...

...sure everything come with it: nokia 9500 guide, blackberry guide etc. It has to be mentioned that some people have had difficulties with the phone for example "turning the phone on", but i have had this phone for a yr and i have incounted no such problem. Now for advantages the phone although it is big the phone applications utilities and overall performance out wieghs the fact the phone it big. The phone being fiddly is such a small problem althouygh ...
...but the fact is its not a normal phone, the phone has excel + word type program also a mp3, video palyer, blackberry, camera and memory card slot. If this hasn't persuaded you to buy it would set you back a couple of hundred pounds... but from my personall experience the phone is worth a try out. ...

Review of Nokia 9500 Communicator

A really good phone that nokia have released, that combines office touch with personal class! I think that this phone is equipped with something that no PDA has. It further offers a full layered out QWERTY keyboard, which is really good. Features such as camera, organiser, infra-red, Bluetooth, multimedia messaging, QWERTY keyboard, wireless LAN, office software compatibility. The battery life on this phone is a big poor. Furthermore, the buttons ...
...a bit difficult to write messages. The memory is ok, at 256 mb, you can't really go wrong. The price is a big heavy, as you aren't going find a cheaper option, and the cheapest I have it to be is at £400, which is a bit hard, however, if you are after features, office technology, then this is a good phone to choose. ...
