Nokia 9500

Nokia 9500 Communicator is a smartphone produced by Nokia. It runs on the Symbian-based Series 80 platform.

The 9500 is equipped with a 150MHz Texas Instruments OMAP Processor and 64 megabytes of SDRAM. It features two screens - a fully functional interior screen, and a restricted-function external screen, which operates on a stripped down Series 40 user interface.

Connectivity features of the 9500 include: Bluetooth, Infrared, USB, Wi-Fi, CSD, HSCSD, GPRS and EDGE. It has send and receive fax facilities (without scanner) and multi-account POP3/IMAP email client.

The built-in Web browser, a Nokia-branded version of Opera, is able to render both WAP and HTML Web pages. Like others in the Communicator series, the 9500 has a full QWERTY keyboard.

Built-in software includes a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation program, which are compatible with the Microsoft Office suite equivalents, also featured is an MP3 player. In addition to the software applications provided by Nokia, a large range of 3rd party software is available; many programs written for older Nokia Communicators are compatible with the 9500 and new software can be written in C++ or OPL.

The 9500 also runs Java ME applications, but some do not make full use of the unusually large and wide screen, so that many existing Java games will run, but only use the top left hand corner of the screen. It supports storage on a Multimedia Card (MMC) of up to 2GB. It is claimed by some suppliers that some 4GB MMC+ cards will work[1], but there are many reports that this is not so.
