Nokia 9500

The Good:
QWERTY keyboard, 65000 color external and internal display, Microsoft Office installed, 80 MB memory capacity, HTML and XHTML browser (faster Internet browsing), GPRS, Integrated VGA camera, Pop-port

The Bad:
Expensive, camera is not megapixel, no mouse, no touch screen

This is the high end product of Nokia Communicator variants. It offers full 65000 color displays, both internal and external. It's a fancy eye-candy, especially the external one. Actually the external display need not be 65000 colors. 4096 color is enough, and better transfer the resources of Nokia to install a megapixel camera that this 9500 is lacking.

Ample memory of 80 MB is surely will help busy professionals a lot. With the full mobile version of Microsoft Office is installed, we can expect more functionality of office applications than we see in previous Nokia 9210i. GPRS will also help you navigate the web more easily. And how about the camera? Is it needed? May be yes. But, it's unfortunate we have less than megapixel camera.

Its design is slimmer than 9210i, and it has nice silver lining on the outer panel. The black color of its panel is very solid, very "business oriented". Internal 65000 color display shows bright pictures downloaded from the Internet. The speaker quality is good. System stability is pretty good. But we don't know later when we install more apps into it.

Conclusion:
Nokia 9500 offers upgrade in display, GPRS, MS Office apps, HTML/xHTML browser, with the camera. They are all nice. The only downside is the price. It's very expensive for such a toy. Considering your office or business needs, you can get similar, if not slightly better, features in PDAs with a bit lower price.
