Nokia 9300 Smartphone

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.

The Nokia 9300 smartphone features sophisticated design to enhance your work style while complementing your personal style. Stay organized, in touch and connected. 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.

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.
