Nokia 9500 Unlocked Smartphone with 3G, Wi-Fi, MP3/Video Player, MMC--U.S. Version with Warranty (G

Only one downside: when closed, it looks like a cell-phone that belongs in the 90s. But open it, and you get as close to PC functionality as any palmtop/smartphone-sized device would take you.

And the bulk and the weight is there as a price to pay for one essential killer feature: the most usable, reliable and fast QWERTY keyboard in the business. Before buying it, I read some rave reviews about how fantastic the keyboard is, and I was sceptical: I have seen too many lousy little QWERTY keyboards that did not even come close to being a viable typing instrument. I bought it and, before I knew it, I was doing typing on it sometimes two or three pages without any noticeable discomfort.

The e-mail client is brilliant, with a great balance of complex functionality and bandwidth economy. The web browser, although Opera-based (it has its limitations), is usable, considering the tiny screen for web work. The screen size (very good for e-mails and Word documents) is the true reason why the functions of Excel-compatible spreadsheet and PowerPoint are really just fancy "can-do" features rather than realistic work tools.

Even synchronization (for a long time, it was a sad shortcoming of Nokia smartphones) has now been sorted, and the supplied suite works well.

A good alternative to Blackberry-type email-only devices in a solid and reliable Finnish build.

if you get rid of the stupid connotation that a cell phone has to be so small you have to hold it with tweezers. You're gonna love being able to browse the web on it, watch movies you took of your kid, write sms and take care of business or fun while in boring 4-hour meetings, its calendar which reminds you of all important dates and dates of your life, you're gonna love the fact that when you spot coppers you just have to opent it, put it on your lap and you can continue your convo inconspicuously on speakerphone until darned police is out of your hair. I'm a chick and when I see huge huys handling miniature phones I CHOKE WITH LAUGHTER. This phone can fit in my pants pocket, and when/if I dont have a pocket to stick it in, I've been known to carry it in my boot, bra, and stuck in my pants on my back. And it it fits into a chick's boot/bra, then its not too big for what it offers. I've owned communicators for 5 years now and I will NEVER EVER be without one. Nuff said.

I bought this phone last year as a business phone, integrating its capabilities with my work and business life.

Wireless conectivity is a big plus connecting to wireless networks its great i use it home and outside, music is available as an mp3 player, all office products available also camera and a cool keyboard for typing.

Try ti get third party programs such i use as power safe and PDF and other stuff, one big thing from my experience, the phone doesnt recognize my home wireless network while blue tooth is switched on, when i turn it off it doscoveres the network so wireless doesnt work with blutooth at the same time!!

i coudnt find till now a connection to car audio with this phone, so i cant listen to music on my car audio, i coudnt find a separate phone stand also for it.

the package includes the desk stand with charger and head phones only.

As i said its a business phone, i have another phone motorola Razr v3i for daily use because the Nokia 9500 is big i use only for meetings and business life.

THanks,

;)

This phone is designed to keep you in contact from where ever you are. Cell, WiFi, bluetooth, etc. All work as advertised.

By most standards, it is large and heavy but, it is the best phone that I have ever used.

With T-mobile in my area, the 9500 has the best signal of any phone that I've ever had. I also like that I can place the phone on a flat surface and use it similar to a laptop computer. Placing calls in my car, searching for contacts, phone numbers, speakerphone, etc. is very convenient using this method.

Outstanding product by Nokia.

Just got the phone today, and after a short test I am returning the phone today.

What a disappointment. I am currently a Nokia 6820 owner and I was I was expecting a slick phone with a lot of ease of use, and instead all I got was a brick of a phone with minimal features.

Cons:

This phone is huge! It looks like you took a cordless phone and were carrying that around as your cell phone. To give you an image you could hold up a croissant to your ear and it would be smaller than this phone, and look less silly!:)

Speakerphone only works when the clamshell is open. When I am driving down the road, I like to put my phone into speaker mode. In order to do that you have to open up the clamshell which is a real drag, since it will only waste battery power to display the screen to run the speaker.

No thumb joystick. On the 6820, one of the best things about the phone is the ability to quickly navigate with the thumb joystick. That has been eliminated on this phone.

Keyboard is ok, but I type faster on the 6820. Given the large size of the 9500 you need to balance the phone more to type. If you are a hunt and peck typer this may be ok for you, but if you are used to typing up a quick reply in less than 10 seconds this is not the phone for you.

Can't check email from the main display. Once again in order to look at email you have to open the clamshell. You should be able to look at emails from the outside of the phone.

No easy PDF viewer.

Pros-

+ 128MB Memory Card

+ Word, Excel, Powerpoint viewer, but it doesn't have the pdf capability that I could find.

+ Sound quality of the phone and the speaker phone are up to Nokia standards.

I had high hopes for this phone, but it does not deserve the Nokia name.
