WAS IT WORTH THE WAIT?

well, ive already check out its full specifications, but the real question is, "Is it rily dat good?"

As a current 92i user & a very big fan of Communicators! ive learned fm experience that the 1st generations, rather 1st release of new units sch as the 9500 will always have flaws! then later on after spending good money for it ull find out dat der wud be an upgraded version of it out soon!!! a 9500i for instance!

wel i jst hope if i cnt bare to resist the mch awaited & tempting unit dat it wil level up to my expectations... its not wat i had exactly in mind... but its Savvy!:) d 802.11b is cool! but totaly useless for quite sumtym hir in the Philippines! I was hoping thou dat theyd cme up w a Titanium Version or a tougher build! the design was pretty gud but i was expecting sumthing better. I had a design in mind but hey! wat d heck!:) its hir & dats wat matters!:D

Wel, i jst wnt to hear wat u guys think!:)

When the 7700 comes out, I will definitively go and play with it somewhere. If I get really wild and reckless, I might consider buying that one. :D But then again... it doesn't have the qwerty, so I'll probably remain faithful to the communicator series. Maybe I was hoping to see something 'new' in 9500, although I cannot say what it could have been. The features seem ok enough.
I still have a long time to wait until I can get my hands on it though :(

Very dissapointed about the release...Q4 only???!!!
Thats a shame.


If 9210i had GPRS id stick with it long time.


p.s. I'll play too with a 7700. But I cannot see myself in my office or in the street being a 'sidetalker". Yuk!!!

Wel, i agree... but a MAJOR Upgrade w dat 802.11b!:D The RAM was expected... but dey cud have at least made it 128MB total Useable MEM w at least 64MB RAM! hope it cud run on Symbian OS v8.0 & support SDIO!!! imagine a 1GB storage on a SD CARD!!!:D:D:D wnt be long before we can run DIABLO!;)

like i said, i was rather expecting more... i wonder wat processor it is using... a 400Mhz wud be nce!:D

My head hurts after reading your posts...

But anyway, why do you want a 400MHz processor? The Communicator isn't running Windows Mobile you know... Besides, think about power consumption (battery life).

sori for gving u dat head ache!
can u blame me? i jst wnted more... & i jst simply want the communicator to be the very best the world ever has & ever will be!;) 400Mhz... wel, im sure ders gona be a whole new market for it... more softwares w more demanding tasks! myt as wel make it kip up in advance! d 92i is already a powerful Music & picture editing tool... it wud be rily nce if we can also do dat, plus more on d FLY!:D

Yup, Battery life is indeed an issue!
a higher capacity Lithium Battery might jst do the trick! say for instance uhmmm... a 2500MA or even better 3500MA!!!:D but i thnk even on d standard batt it can stil have a considerable standby tym... cz wen its closed wel... like a PC its also in standby, thus saving batt life! we dnt leave our communicators on open d whole day do we? or do u? its bad wnuf dat its big, but leaving it open wide in ur pocket is jst WEIRD!!!:):):)

> The thing is, the 9500 is just one of a number of communicators Nokia are going to release, hopefully this year.

I'm getting hints from a few places. Here's one from Nokia's 3GSM newsletter:

"Separately, Nokia and IBM announced plans at the 3GSM Congress to jointly deliver mobile-workforce solutions. The two companies will combine Nokia's Communicator devices (including the new Nokia 9500 Communicator, a Series 80 Developer Platform 2.0 device), Symbian OS, and IBM mobile software, including WebSphere Everyplace Access Client and Lotus Sametime Instant Messaging Client."

and from the developer HTML specification:

"The Nokia 9500 Communicator is the first phone to incorporate the Series 80 Developer Platform 2.0. In the future there will be other handsets that are Developer Platform 2.0 compliant and use the same base browser software as the Nokia 9500 Communicator with some handset specific exceptions. The tables below present first the base browser software characteristics in Series 80 Developer Platform 2.0 and secondly the possible exceptions in handsets compared to the base browser software."

So there you go. Wishful thinking, perhaps. CeBit might be interesting.

Having lived for a few years in Dubai I know a little of the landscape. I visited http://www.emiratescomputers.co.ae/ who are the distributer for Nokia in the UAE. I could find no mention of the 9500 even though there are chanced to preorder a couple of the other new phones. This is not concusive evidence, but I think it points strongly to the phone not being on sale in Dubai.

The communicator as it was until now (or we wanted to be) used to be the best in a phone and the best in a pda. After each release (excepting may be 7650) nokia need to upgrade the release with eighter a i version or a improved one. Getting back to the topic. . . . Are we sure what we are waiting. Or, what we are waiting now, does it apply to next technology ? Everybody is waiting 1 mega pixels camera on phones. Or is the 9500 future prof technology ready ? Well, as one aas user said...The best is yet to come.... So we waited and waited but can this moment be also a wrong one for launching the commi ? I honestly hope that nokia does it this time proper. We will see it. And after all .the

This might be a bit off-topic, but I don't understand why you had wanted a 802.11a (5 GHz) adapter. In my experience 802.11a access points and wireless cards have been very unreliable and offered a very small range compared to 802.11b/g access points.

Instead 802.11g (2,4 GHz) might have been a good choice, although I'm not sure whether these mobile devices can really take advantage of higher bandwidths (about 17-23 Mbps w/o WEP) than what 802.11b (2,4 GHz) already offers (about 5,0-5,5 Mbps w/o WEP).

Edit:I fixed quotes.

Having read this very interesting thread about the 9500 being on sale in dubai. i would like to confirm to you all (being an Emirates Computers employee) that it is NOT available in Dubai.

I have however played around with a pre prototype 9500 and it does look good. The only things i didnt find very impressive with it were:

1. the front keys on the phone are covered with a cheap looking clear plastic cover and it doesnt look like it can be changed.

2.the software is pretty much identical to the 9210i except it has been given a more modern look with nicer icons.

3.i didnt play with it very long, but the qwerty keyboard inside the device has small keys which could make typing dificult...although i think people will adapt to this.

The unit i had did not have a functioning phone but the OS was working ok and as an example, i opened every application in there without the phone crashing.

another thing to note is that it wasnt much faster than the current 9210i which was a disappointment to me. i didnt test the bluetooth/wifi or the camera.

If you have any more questions, let me know and i will try to answer them.

Communicators are the topline of nokia phones, thats
it there is no number greater than the 9 series, which is the case, if you put 10, then it would come back to the 1 (1st) series.

Nokia has rated its series from, number wise, the
greaters the number increase the greater the phone
becomes.

You can have an idea for this.
They are the most expensive than any nokia phone, no matter which ever OS they have even old ones.

For example, 1,2 series is real crap when you compare with the 3 series and the 3 series is crappy, if you compare with 6, 7, 8 series, and then nothing can beat the 9 series.
thats the way it is!

Also nokia has introduced phones of evermodel, except of the 4 series, I wonder why not? is it an unlucky number for finnish people?? or something heh.. and also the 5 series doesnt have very much models, only two or three.


just my three....erm i mean... two cents

kthx!

IMO,the 8910i can't be compared with any Symbian smartphone because its not a smartphone,its just a phone.I would choose the 7650,3650,9210 and any other Symbian smartphone,no matter what series it is over the 8910i anytime.I'm not dazled by fancy covers and high price tags.

awyeah,your series theory would've been true a year ago(Nokia have abandoned their old naming scheme) and only if the price of the device is considered,not the features,if the price is higher it doesn't mean that the device is better.

Michal from My-Symbian posted a small preview:

I just wanted to get familiar with this new model in order to be able to prepare the site for it before it is launched so that I can start supporting it right from the day one. But I hope to get longer access to it some time later - possibly in May.

I can't answer all the questions simply because this is an early unit and many enhancements, improvements and additions are still on the way. I don't want to publicly comment things that will change in just days or weeks. I will post a full review as soon as I test a final unit with final specifications. It would be unfair to comment features that are still under development at the moment.

All I can say at the moment is that:
- the device is very fast. The UI works very fast and applications start almost immediately. It feels like a rocket compared to 9210.
- screen quality is simply PERFECT. It is one of the best (if not THE best) PDA screen I have ever seen. It is much brighter and crisper than P900's screen. There is NO need for any keyboard backlight. The screen makes the keyboard FULLY visible in darkness. I have added a picture showing this (it looks even better than on the picture - the lens of my camera isn't sensitive enough).
- sound quality is very good and MP3 playback is just great. Loudspeaker is quite loud and the sound is very clear.
- Opera web browser is simply AMAZING. Just take a look at the pictures in the gallery - some of them show this web site displayed in the 9500's Opera. What I like the most is the full screen/fit to screen mode where Opera rescales web pages on the fly to fit the screen horizontally. No horizontal scrolling at all - only vertical like on PC. And it works much better than on the P900 because Opera DOESN'T change the layout - it displays the page exactly as it is, only scaled down like a picture. It is just TERRIFIC.
- I can't give any detailed information about CPU speed or storage size because it still may change (i.e. get even bigger). All I can tell you is that you can be sure that the CPU isn't slower than P900's and that both the storage and RAM memories are way bigger than P900's (not to even mention 9210).
- Camera quality is certainly better than P800/P900's but sorry, no pictures at the moment.
- Keyboard is muuuch better than 9210's. Keys are tighter, very stable, pressing them is firm and you can feel the resistance and even hear a silent "click". You simply always know if you pressed it correctly or not. It works much better than 9210's keyboard.
- Navigational key is also very good. You have all the directions (and OK/click) under one finger - no need to move your hand to several separate arrow keys. But there are also separate arrow keys for "conservatists".
- Bluetooth and Wi-Fi work just great. No problems with pairing with my PC and with the P900, sending and receiving data etc.
- video recording works OK. Videos can be played back using RealPlayer on the PDA side. The player features a full screen mode and it supports RealMedia, MP4, 3GPP and other formats.
My general opinion is VERY, VERY GOOD. This is going to be my Symbian OS device #1. It is just amazing. Maybe its dimensions are not much smaller than 9210s, but believe me, you can feel the difference when holding them both in your hands. The 9500 appears quite smaller and lighter especially that its black and silver design makes it optically even smaller. Fantastic device.

@Ghostdog- Are you sure about Nokia abandoning their number series (except N-gage;) ) I say this because the launch of recent phones like 6600, 7700, 7200 etc. I find they are just apropriate for their series number( their target market). And the same goes with 9500:)

Also when exactly will nokia lauch the 9500?

Ismail
24-03-2004, 08:33 PM
fist of all the 9500 will be launched q4 2004

second of all here is each series with its functions:

1 & 2 series: phones which are simple and not complicated, also cheap.

3series: phones which have cool features with a bit of style, also cheap.

5 series: phones which are more durabil(rougher) than other phones.

6 series: phones in my opion aimed at buiseness men who want something small and gets the job done,

7 series: aimed at fashion (except 7700) most of the phones 7 series are more looks and design than other phones.

8 series: ppl who want high class phones.

9 series: need i say more ;)

n-gage does not belong in any of them so nokia didnt give it a number

steve36
24-03-2004, 10:05 PM
I thought someone mentioned September availability.

Also I believe Nokia's current plan is in volume availability Q4, this may imply a very small number released before.
I bought my series-5 Psion a couple of months before it appeared everywhere by identifying a shop that was sole supplier for the first stock, a principle I've regretted a little with my P800 as an paying 'beta tester'.
The main problem with this is you pay a bit more than the eventual volume price, mind you sometime price is not the issue with something you wait almost a year for.

The 7-series is more about 'innovation' (7110, 7650, 7700), whilst the 8-series is all about style/design (8810, 8850, 8910).

With 'innovation' I mean phones that bring something new to the market. The 7110 was the first WAP enabled mobile phone, the 7650 was the first to feature an inbuilt camera, the 7700 is the first to have such a high resolution touchscreen with many multimedia oriented features.

erm./... i wonder why i havent posted in this thread
well anyway..hehe im back and im bad as ever

*weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*


so, now leme see hmmm
who and which should i criticize anyway blah bleh


i agree with you the first time ismail
nokia has rated their phones via series, i have said
this before and am saying again.

if you look at this thread which i quoted, 1,2 are cheapest
with very less functions, then 3,5 series are a bit advanced
6,7 have more functions n complicated, and 8 series then
titanium ones and etc, and 9 series is the top of the line.

there is no number higher than 9, so like 9 is the eleetest
supah dupah what nokia consider. if they put it 10, so it would
be considered "1" series for the matter of fact, or then they might have to introduce a 5-digit model number then, which is not likely to happen.

one more fact is that, though they might not have the latest
OS of symbian or either more functions than some new 6, 7
series phones, they are the most expensive in the market
meaning the more valuable.


so you might get an idea from tht...


can anyone tell me, why nokia hasnt released a "4 series" for or hasnt introduced any phone for the 4 series?? I'll give him/her a cookie *G*





the eleetest...awyeah.....

anyway u r correct hat 9xxx series is the best but only to some ppl, other ppl prefer 6600 or 3660,for example the 8910 doesnt have any good features and a lot of ppl prefer 6600.

nokia will never intruduce the 4 series because its an unlucky number:D

as of agian i agree.. the 9xxx series is elite, eleet, leet, l33t, 31337 like
me ofcourse no doubt about that. :rolleyes:

the 3660 is most likely turned into a pda, while the 6600 is still small
and doesnt have a larger screen, as for the 7650 it is an old prototype. :p

theyved introduced 7610 or 7660, i think its 7700 with a pda type
one touch screen, its oval type in shape or something like that
it doesnt look like a phone like the n-gage and looks more lika a
pda, or palm, thought its not even shaped like that, i guess its for
women then.. men only like hardcore shapes :)


the 8910 has a titanium casing, and it opens in a fashy way, from
the cover inside, otherwise it has no features.


the 9xxx is the only nokia phone with dual screens, and now the newer
model has 2 os which no other nokia phone has, and it has 2 color screens, :eek:
therefore no nokia phone can match that and hence, we can reffer it to as "eleet".


as for the 4 series, you say 4 is an anylucky number.. well not for me um...
maybe for nokia, finland or the finnish people? :D
can anybody prove this mebbeh? ;)

How about the cost? Would it be like the initial price of SE P900 here in the Philippines which was around $820?

Wow!! $820USD for the Nokia 9500 sounds pretty okay.

with all these fuss, i begin to wonder...
yeah, like i said.. was it worth the wait???

they cud have at least jacked up most of the specs!
It kinda made d 9500 a leveled unit against other phones recently released even before the 9500! the 7610 for instance. Its already equipped w a 1Megapixel Cam!!! I mean, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??? its like revisiting the dark ages once again! Rem the time when the 92xx was jst released. Same case scenario, it created quite a fuss in the market only to find out in a few weeks dat its over powered in terms of data transmission since its lacking GPRS!!!

I dnt knw wats up w NOkia... i think i do..
Its hard for me to say this, it one heck of a way to do business!
Its definitely gona cause all we Communicator mongers to ask for more. therby guaranteeing sumhow an ample market share on the next release of the d the newest communicator model w more innovations & enhanced feature, or rather jst an upgrade!!!

marketing wise, it wud be suicide as i see it to make the ultimate phone for now! w all the new models announced... otherwise consumers myt jst end up geting all the same unit regardless of financial restrictions. which comes down to jst to d demography.

These r the UPDATED of a few stuff i think is missing... or rather saving up for the next communicator wen Nokia comes to their senses!

1. what of the 256K color screen
2. touch screen, Stylus
(Med-reps find it a necessity, gettin all d signatures they nid!)
3. SD/RS-MMC support
(Higher capacity i.e. 512MB - 1GBup!!!)
4. sturdier construction w hi end materials
(Titanium)
5. can handle sum G's w a scratch resistant glass!!!
(GOd knows, ive lost a 9110i & 9210i in hi impact accidents!)
6. myt as wel mke it dust & splash resistant!
(if not asking too mch!)
7. at least 1.3Megapixel Cam!!!
(O common! 6630!!!)
8. USB 2.0 connectivity
(handling 512MB up can be pretty messy!)
9. STEREO SPEAKERS!!!
(blast us away w d tones!)
10. SW1/SW2/AM/FM Radio
(listening to news wnt kill u!)
11. Some light amplification
(myt come in handy wen u least expect)
12. How about jacking up the internal mem all the way to 256MB
(we nid all the space we can get!)
13. Some magnetic protection
(help improve signal & reduce interference)
14. A 16 direction digital compass
(why not?)
15. Barometer, Altimeter, Thermometer
(4 d Great outdoors! HEY! if Casio can fit all of it in den so can NOKIA!)
16. 3500ma Lithium Polymer Batt!
( with all these specs im sure its quite a power monger!- compensate!)
17. Solar Panel (probably wnt hve to charge agn... haha!)
18. 2way radio - NEXTEL?

PUSHING IT:
600Mhz Processor Centrino or Transmeta
with video 3D acceleration! Geforce/Radeon (Streamingly good!)

Well I guess so, they can't add more stuff in the 9500 currently. If you don't know polyphonics require a seperate chip, the ram, more diskspace, processor speed, moe diskspace requires more chips (if even they are small and fit the device costs would be so high no one would buy them). Then the digital camera has another seperate ccd for digital image processing and so on. So adding all these stuff into one tiny small package is quite difficult plus they have to look at the market.

They maybe able to develop this but then again, they would need to redo the size of the device, the desining of circuitry (you must have seen its quite changed since the 9210, the 9500 I mean - see the battery size and sim placement slot now).

Then again using more display colors would require an expensive lcd with high image generation processors and so on...

Btw seckzi, is that ya real pic?!

Hang in there a wyl, ive been busy & i stil cant find time to give you a proper remorse awyeah...

As much as i respect your opinions... i do find some of your remarks upalling!
but as a well mannered & disciplined forumist i will jst ignore the fact that you were a jerk for quite sum time. What i wrote there regarding to the Communicators additional specifications are undoubtedly, "What could have been!" or "What If!".. I may not sound like it, but who listenes to insane consumers just like, yours trully! I love the outdoors, & integrating those stuff to the only phone genre ill ever love would be a bonus. But hey, Im chill!:)

I'll be more than glad looking forward to your other criticisms, opinions & feedback in the future!

What's the point in living if you dont feel alive!:)

There is a saying mr. filipino:

"Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." :mad:

I am sure, I have justified who is the idiot here, no name calling but clearly your 'missing updates' for the phone seem very ridiculous, outrageous and not convincing to anyone of us, over here, kthx. :cool:

Let us leave it to the Phone Designers and Engineers as well as to the Mobile Phone Companys to think what features they want for their phone models. Even if we will argue on what they SHOULD HAVE PUT THERE ... we will not be heard! They will still do what they think is right and marketable.
