The Nokia 9300i is an amazing mobile phone which is completely stylish & very small considering it is a mobile office. The 9300i is similar to its predecessor the Nokia 9300 but the 9300i has a few improved features. The 9300i is focused towards the top end business user market & it is truly packed to the brim with all the portable office requirements.
Connectivity is a key feature of the 9300i, with support for wireless LAN, Bluetooth and USB 2.0. A fax port is included, and an EDGE connection enables data to be downloaded at speeds of up to 236.8 kbit/s.
The Nokia 9300i comes in a very sleek & professional silver coloured casing. When the 9300i is closed it looks like any average phone with a clear 65k colour display screen (128 x 128 pixels) & easy to use number keys for making all those important calls. The phone can be open using a side opening mechanism which opens smoothly to display a large 65k active transflective colour screen (640 x 200 pixels) complete with a full keyboard with eight application shortcut keys.
The 9300i comes with 80 Mbytes of internal memory, plus an expandable MMC memory card. The 9300i weighs slightly more than the 9300, but only a few grams. The benefit of wireless LAN should more than compensate for this inconvenience. Be aware though that vibration alert is not supported by either the 9300 or 9300i.
What’s amazing about the 9300i (and its close cousin the 9300) is the size of the device. A few years ago the size of a closed 9300i would have been a great size on its own for a new phone (the Nokia 6230 springs to mind in terms of size). And while it’s a little bit bigger than the norm, it’s now possible pull out a communicator in the pub without getting laughed at. One of the biggest benefits to this is that it’s comfortable to use as a phone, it fits nicely in the hand, and can stay welded to your ear with no problems.
Part of this relatively diminutive size will be down to a missing camera. Consumers almost demand a camera in the specs of any smartphone, but again it comes down to where this device is aimed. The 9300 was designed with no Wi-Fi and no camera through extensive ‘focus group’ testing from Nokia.
