Nokia 9300, The Smaller Size Communicator

Price : US$ 768.81 / Euro 578.06

The Good :
smaller and lighter Communicator, big outer buttons, generous 80 MB memory

The Bad:
no camera, expensive



Nokia 9300 is the simplified version of the glamorous and feature-rich 9500. First of all, no camera. This is surely a disappointment, because with expensive price like that, we can have another cellphone with camera! Lots of types already provide very good quality camera, such as SonyEricsson S700, SonyEricsson P910i, etc. Within the Nokia brand, Nokia 7710 with touch screen and big landscape touch screen can also be a good option.

The only difference in the Nokia 9300 is its generous internal memory of 80 MB, and the smaller and lighter size. Basically you can expect good performance of its office applications, the full connectivity system (GPRS, bluetooth, infrared), which is a must for this expensive phone.



The shape is a bit girly, and I think women are more appropriate users of Nokia 9300. However, you might want to shop around in stores near you to have a look. Compatibility with Microsoft Office files is good enough.

Conclusion :
This phone is too expensive. You can more features (more functions and benefits) from other brands with similar price, such as the professional-look SonyEricsson P910i, the imaging expert SonyEricsson S700, or even the smart O2 XDA II Mini. The only winning factor of Nokia 9300 is its smaller and slighly artistic design, with lots of internal memory and full connectivity.
