Created on Oct 30, 2005, 18:33 by Rui Carmo, not updated since.

The 9300 is yet another Nokia/9210i descendant, with a revamped Series 80 interface but no camera or 3G connectivity. The 9300i adds Wi-Fi support, a faster CPU and improved battery life in the same form factor:

Pluses:

  • Much, much faster than the 9500
  • Actually fits into a real suit pocket without tearing the lining
  • Usable Series 40-like exterior display
  • Good speakerphone, if a mite tinny
  • Good screen

Minuses:

  • Doesn't hold a candle to my Blackberry in speed and usability
  • Applications have not been updated since other Communicator releases
  • Does not have a "vibrate" option
  • Limited e-mail client
  • Slippery keyboard
