Nokia Communicator 9300

An oldie ... but a goldie. This is the Nokia Communicator 9300 series.


Compact, and perfectly formed. Great keypad action!


ps - Wikipedia raised some interesting facts about this fella ...

The Nokia 9300 is a Nokia Series 80 Symbian Smartphone. It is used as a normal though bulky mobile phone in closed mode, when it is flipped open it can be used like a very small notebook computer with a half-SVGA screen. The phone also has speakerphone functionally, which is activated automatically when the phone is flipped open.
The Nokia 9300 was released shortly after the Nokia 9500 Communicator, and differs from it in some ways:
1) No digital camera
2) In most models, no Wifi
3) Smaller overall: Smaller keyboard ("Thumbboard"), 970 mA battery, and screen (both 800x200x16).
4) Silver color

The smaller phone was probably released because the 9500 and other Communicators were traditionally nicknamed "The Brick" and the size put a lot of people off from buying them.

Although very similar to the 9500 Communicator, this less expensive model was not officially marketed under the Communicator name by Nokia.
