Nokia is the world leader in mobile communications, driving the growth and sustainability of the broader mobility industry. Nokia helps people communicate with one another and it offers easy to use and innovative products like mobile phones, devices and solutions for imaging, games, media and businesses. A new model of cell phone which is designed especially for business people is the Nokia 9300.
The Nokia 9300 has a resistant plastic wide clamshell case which comes painted in silver. With 133 x 51 x 22 mm in dimensions and 169 grams in weight, it is the slimmest Communicator handset which Nokia ever made. If you look at phone, it’s seems like a regular cell phone. On the front side it has a 128 x 128 pixels TFT display which supports 65K colors, two soft keys, a D-Pad controller and a spacious and large numeric keypad. The keys have a great silver finish so you will feel comfortable typing on them. Because the Nokia 9300 lacks external an external volume rocker or other buttons, on the sides you will find only an Infrared port and a USB port.

When the phone is closed, it looks exactly like a large regular phone, but if you open it, you will be surprised. The Nokia 9300 comes with a 4.0 inches TFT display with a native resolution of 640 x 200 pixels. Supporting 65K colors, this beautiful display will offer you great colors with a good balance between contrast and brightness. This wide-screen format is excellent for you to surf on the internet, watch movies or write documents.
But that is not all. Being a Communicator handset, it comes with a full-QWERTY keyboard. With flat and large keys you can easily write emails or other documents but because these keys are a bit piled, you will need some time to get used to them. The keys are very responsive and offer a comfortable typing experience. The shortcut keys like Desk, Telephone, Messaging, Web, Contacts, Documents, Calendar and My Own plus four keys which are positioned along of display and a thumb-stick directional controller will help you by making your job a lot easier.
Being a business handset, The Nokia 9300 don’t have many multimedia features. Even if this cell phone is compatible with MPEG4 and 3GPP video formats, it doesn’t have an integrated camera for taking pictures or record clips. Because it is compatible with RealPlayer, it supports many music formats like MP3, MP4, RA and MIDI. Powered by a TI OMAP 1510 150 MHz processor this handset runs the Symbian OS v7.0s without any lag or other problems. The internal memory has 80 MB of free space for your files but thanks to the MMC card slot, you can extent it to a maximum 4 GB.
In terms of connectivity, the Nokia 9300 is a Tri-Band (GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) device which has the classic GPRS and EDGE data features. Other connectivity features which are present there are Bluetooth 2.0, Infrared and Pop-Port USB. A negative aspect for a Communicator handset like this is that the Nokia 9300 lacks Wireless, 3G and GPS features. The external speaker is great. It produces clear sound with a loud volume. In the standard package, this cell phone comes with a mono headphone but if you want to listen to music with more bass or better sound quality you can buy another set of headphones and attach them to your Nokia.

The Li-Po 970 mAh battery is capable of keeping this cell phone on for 4 hours of conversation and up to 200 hours in standby mode. These values are not the best for a Communicator handset but you can buy a secondary battery and increase cell phone’s life. For a price of $144 you certainly won’t receive a very powerful and high-end technology cell phone, but the Nokia 9300 will satisfy your needs if you are looking for a practical cell phone.
