Review

The Nokia 9210 Communicator is the updated version of the Nokia 9110. The 9210 is marketed as a mobile communications device, incorporating a mobile phone, email and PC office applications. Boasting a large keyboard, Microsoft Office applications and a large colour display, it’s certainly an impressive piece of kit. Now replaced by the Nokia 9210i.

Review

The Nokia 9300 smartphone is like a little brother of the Nokia 9500 Communicator. It shares many of the features of the 9500, but misses out on others. Physically, the two devices are similar, with both having the benefit of a full QWERTY keyboard and a very large internal display (640 x 200 pixels, 65,000 colours). The 9300 is considerably smaller and lighter, but still a bit of a brick when compared to normal phones.
