Nokia 9500 Communicator

9500 Communicator Nokia picture The 9500 Communicator is like no handheld you've ever seen -- unless it's another Communicator. At first glance the device looks like an oversized mobile phone, and indeed you can hold it to your ear and make voice calls. But you need to open it up, clamshell style, to see its full array of features. Inside is a QWERTY keyboard and a wide, narrow screen. The new TFT internal display is an excellent screen that is much brighter and easier to use in bright sunlight. Both the internal and external keyboards have also been improved, making typing quicker and more reliable. Internally, there is much more memory available - both user storage and RAM - and the processor is considerably faster. But perhaps the most welcome feature for many will be the Wi-Fi support, enabling mobile users to connect to the internet at broadband speeds, when located in a suitable Wi-Fi hotspot.

It's important that a business tool provides a full range of connectivity options, and the 9500 duly offers GSM/GPRS (plus EGPRS or EDGE), Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Nokia has also chosen to also add a camera, even though many companies may see this feature as more of a drawback than a benefit. The main screen measures 110 by 36mm, has a resolution of 640x200 pixels and offers 16-bit colour (65,536 colours). The screen on the front of the device, which comes into play when using the Communicator 9500 in phone style, gives you 128x128 pixels, also in 16-bit colour. We were able to test the device's general usability and the software. On the usability front, it's the keyboard that impressed us the most. This includes full QWERTY keys, a number row and above that a row of application shortcuts (one of which is user customisable), along with a range of extra buttons, including a navigation key. The QWERTY keys are small (10 by 7mm) and there's no air space between them. They are too small for touch typing, but we found them big enough for reasonably fast two-fingered or two-thumbed typing.
