slitchfield Left function key plus * does work, but you have to do the keypresses quickly, one after the other.

No idea on the cache thing, I suspect the pages you're viewing are set to not allow caching - this is quite common on news/dynamic sites, for example.

rocho Steve,

Lot of thanks for helping people like me.

I just changed the 2 GB card for a 1 GB kingstone dual voltaje, and works just fine now. Im also doing fine with WiFi now, it was very frustrating.

May i ask you couple questions more, i don't know if this is the right place to do it. But here i go:

- still can't lock keypad of the cel phone, left key+* doesnt work, it doesnt lock the keys (phone closed)

- i managed the cfg of my browser to cache about 35MB limit, but every time i visit a visited page, it download all over again, seems cache isnt for do this, im right?

THIS IS THE BEST PHONE IVE EVER TRIED !!! powerfull than any other PPC, SYmbian phone. 4 REAL!

slitchfield Do you mean lock the 'keypad'? Left function-* will do nicely.

The 9300/9500 aren't properly compatible with 2GB cards, especially the slow cards from Kingston. Exchange it for a 1GB and you should be fine.

Just go into Control panel | Connections | Wireless LAN and see what pops up on the 'Networks' list. Wander around until an open network is shown and then try connecting to this in 'Easy W-LAN' in Web.

akboom ms139us; thanks a lot. I knew JS was slow but never knew it would make such a huge difference. Now browsing real sites on the 9300i browser is possible and somewhat enjoyable too with JS turned off.

This kind of proves that if device manufacturers are going to promote web site browsing on their devices they should implement a highly optimised JS engine which 3rd party developers can use; or at least browser developers should do better than this.

Thanks once again ms139us!

Rafe Yes there's a problem with the WAP forums on a (especially) 9500. Its a third party script, but that's no excuse. It's on a list of things to do, but usable forums are quite hard to implement for mobile browsing scenarios. On the new high resolution device I'm looking at setting a stripped down forum style as an alternative.

Yep. Windows Mobile 5 is now pretty decent for all sorts of things, too. Just being objective. Especially now that Nokia seem to be abandoning the 9500. But my heart's still with Symbian 8-) And I can't wait to try out the E70 and E61!

dovale FGL, please explain what is the "Citrix/Symbian/Nokia 9300 or 9500 client" and if it is an enterprise only solution.

Turn off Javascript

I spend way too much time surfing via the 9500 and I can tell you that your surfing experience will be improved by turning off Javascript.

In fact, I am posting this now on a 9500 with JS turned off.

Want some irony? AAS (this site) has articles promoting the use of WAP, while the forums are mostly unusable via WAP. Go ahead, try to post a coherent message using the WAP interface.

More irony? Much of nokia.com *requires* Javascript to be enabled for navigation and enabling JS causes nokia.com pages to take several minutes to load.

Google works exceedingly well, though.

Nokia 9300i - Citrix Client - Screen Scaling

Nokia 9300, 9500 or 9300i with Citrix - Sample Screens

Screen #1 - Windows XP Start - with Scaling via Wifi or GPRS

Sceen # 2 - Windows XP Desktop - with Scaling via Wifi or GPRS

Screen #3 - Windows XP Desktop - without Citrix Scaling via Wifi or GPRS

Quite readable and usable on a small mobile device - not many alternatives that work this well in such a compact package with full encryption security. Works extremely well for off-site access.

Thanks - FLG>>>

Nokia 9300i - Citrix Client - Screen Scaling

slitchfield - If you get a chance try the new Citrix/Symbian/Nokia 9300 or 9500 client. It is unbelievable!

Citrix has included a scaling algorithm which makes Windows XP, IE displays and other terminal emulation products running under Windows XP extremely usable in terms of viewing. Due to the scaling the navigation and real world usage is quite effective. I will try to post a screen shot of Citrix on the 9300i.

You would be amazed with what Citrix did. I have used almost every MS Mobile and Palm based phone device made in recent years, have the Nokia 770 and the 9300i is again such a wonderful comprehensive mobile device - today! Add Datawiz Word to go and Sheet to go, along with robust BlackBerry Connect software and nothing compares for business usage. Also, the front phone is actually usable and what a speaker phone function it has.

Yes, the N 9300i could be faster but neither is any Mobile 5 or Nokia 770 very fast compared to laptops or desktops. I used a Cingular 8125 and 2125 this last week and they were not very fast in real world usage. Also, I did look and use the Nokia E61 and E70 (both were very nice) at CES in Las Vegas but over GPRS they didn't seem to be any faster when compared side by side to my N 9300 - maybe that will change when productions models arrive. As for screen display of WWW pages the 9300/9500 were again without compare.

Squeek I had a 9500 and found the web browser unusable for real world surfing, I ended up with the 9300 because the browsing experience over GPRS was almost identical speed (albeit costs). I was hoping that the browser had been updated on the 9300i but if it's the same as the 9500 it's a waste of time. Which is a real shame as I was going to buy the 9300i this week.
