 Nokia 9300i is announced in 2005
Design
Nokia's 9300i - one of few models from Nokia featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the Nokia 9300i is very heavy and too big handset at 51 x 132 x 21 mm and 172 grams. A perfectly adequate 65,000-color display is bright and crisp, and is a far step above the dim 4096-color versions on even the most recent Nokia models.The display resolution 640 x 200 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Nokia handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The 9300i is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.While the big display a numerical keypad placed on a small space offers appropriately-spaced keys and are not pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Nokia handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.Its keypad is as pleasing in use as its chassis is on the eyes: tactile feedback is excellent and all buttons are placed in a logical manner - quite a feat, considering 9300i's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the 9300i boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 1.0, 24-channels polyphony, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the 9300i is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking , as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 80 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the 9300i, meaning users find themselves drawn by the MP3 playback capabilities will also quickly - and repeatedly - drawn to their PC and USB cable for updating ones playlist.
Performance
Audio quality on the 9300i was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 1100 mAh Li-pol battery is rated for 8 hours talk time or 230 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 165 minutes.
Availability
The Nokia 9300i is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Nokia 9300i is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Nokia design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
