Nokia 9300

In the search for one device to do it all — phone, email, web, contacts, documents, music, video — look no further than the Nokia 9300. This latest addition to Nokia’s vaunted Communicator line of handsets is thinner, lighter and more useful than ever, and a unique folding design adds infinite flexibility. Add that to the much-loved Symbian Series 80 operating system and you’ve got a winning powerhouse in your pocket.

Design
At first, the 9300 looks like a typical Nokia candybar form-factor phone with a 128 x 128 screen and the typical dial-pad and navigation button. Flip the cover, though, and you’re presented with a gorgeous 640 x 200 widescreen display and a full QWERTY keyboard. Both displays support 65,000 colors. A row of shortcut buttons arrayed above the keyboard makes it easy to quickly navigate to the device’s phone, messaging, web, contacts, documents, and calendar functions. A small thumb-stick allows you to navigate through the 9300’s menu system. And when you’re browsing the web and using other applications it functions as a mouse pointer. A hot-swappable MMC memory card slot is provided, as is the Nokia “Pop-Port” interface for connecting wired headsets and the included desktop charging/synchronization cradle. The device ships with 80 MB of internal memory.

Calling Features
The 9300’s address book is only limited by the amount of available memory, and it can store multiple phone numbers, as well as physical and email addresses. Meanwhile, the 9300’s built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Polyphonic ringtones are included, and you can use your favorite music or recorded voices as ringtones. Meanwhile, more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular’s MEdia wireless web service. Picture IDs let you assign specific ringtones to particular callers. Plus, the phone’s Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
With support for the MMS (multimedia messaging service), the 9300 can send picture, video and text messages (Cingular messaging charges apply). Instant messaging is also supported, and the phone ships with a built-in email client that supports POP3 and IMAP protocols, as well as Microsoft Office-based email attachments.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the 9300. It supports the GPRS data protocol, as well as the new, high-speed EDGE wireless data service. When used with a Cingular Wireless Internet Express data plan and the phone’s USB or Bluetooth data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. There’s also a built-in web browser for MEdia downloads and mobile web browsing. Cingular’s MEdia service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit– a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

The 9300 supports PC synchronization standards via USB or Bluetooth, which means you can manage and synchronize contacts, calendars and other data with your PC. Nokia’s PC Suite application makes this process a breeze. A number of handy software tools are bundled with the 9300 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, and an alarm clock. Productivity tools bundled with the 9300 include a word processor, a presentation viewer/editor, and a spreadsheet viewer/editor. These applications are compatible with the most common features of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel (MS Office 97 or later). Robust contact and calendar applications are also included.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
The phone supports playback of MP3, RealAudio and AAC audio files so you can use it as a mobile music player. Picture effects and custom screensavers, as well as backgrounds and themes, can be set up to fit your personality. And don’t forget that the 9300 is a powerful gaming companion with support for Java and Symbian games. Many games are downloadable via the Cingular MEdia service.

The Nokia 9300 weighs 5.89 ounces and measures 5.20 x 2.01 x 0.83 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4 hours of digital talk time, and up to 200 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.
