Nokia 9300 Smartphone



While it's been available in Europe for several months now, Nokia is expected to debut the Nokia 9300 Smartphone in the U.S. this fall.

Nokia 9300 Reviews

Newfactor reviews the Nokia 9300, and notes that Cingular will be offering the phone for just under $300 starting in November: "This pricing structure, which will certainly make believers out of some, is awesome for what amounts to holding a miniature notebook in the palm of one hand. On a scale of 1 to 5, I give the Nokia 9300 Communicator a 4.0 rating."

About the phone

The Nokia 9300 combines popular voice communication features with important productivity applications in one well-appointed device. Now the tools you need to stay in touch and on top of schedules, email, news, and messages are conveniently at your fingertips.

Organizer

Stay organized throughout the day using the Nokia 9300. You can use the built-in calendar to set reminders for important events, access the tasks list to write a memo or shopping list, and browse the Internet to look up directions, find a business address or recommend a good place to meet for dinner. It is easy to synchronize data on the Nokia 9300 with applications on your PC using Nokia PC Suite software, so that the most up-to-date information is stored on each device.
