My Nokia 9300 Review

[Johnnybond86]

AFAIK, this will require a client to run on Mac OS X which I've never seen released. You might, if your Mac has IR, seeing if you can get if to dial out that way. The T-Mobile number in the dialer for the internet2.voicestream.com access point is #99#* and any username/password combo will work. If you need VPN, use internet3.voicestream.com instead.

I am trying to access EDGE though the phone. Every time I try to use #99#*, it trys to make a data call. Thanks for your help though. Does anyone know how to acces EDGE from a MAC though a 9300(i)?

Ok, I've had my 9300 for roughly 24 hrs and love the thing! A few things I will mention:

Like others have said, it's smaller than I thought it would be. I bought the brick that was the 9290 (in my junk drawer somewhere... ) and was happy that the 9300 wasn't as huge. I haven't made calls on it as I mainly use it for data and IM.

It is a bit sluggish when opening/closing applications. I use it for T-Mobile, and got antsy when I went to the T-mo Configurator website, the 9300 wasn't a choice. I simply chose the Nokia E62 and the T-Mobile Internet settings and MMS settings worked like a charm! It took awhile before EDGE speed kicked in-a few hours before I started seeing the web pages take off. HoFo still is slow, I'll have to use the wap site instead.

I like the onboard memory and I won't see myself getting another card as I have a 512mb and it's fine. I found some programs on Handango's website and am happy. Will tinker with it some more. One thing-I did have Ciara's song "Promise" on it (bought it used) and the speaker rocks! Haven't used a handsfree yet.

Overall, I'm happy that I made the leap from Series 60 to Series 80. The lack of camera doesn't bother me-I carry multiple phones with cams on them so it's not a big deal!

Be sure and try opera mini if you haven`t already. I used it alot on my 9300 and found it to be so much faster than the oem nokia s80 browser it became my browser of choice for the 9300. Works great for hofo. Also, check out an app called "power desk". You can trial it for free for awhile. It really helped me customize the rather bland desk top and was useful for organizing the desktop.

I only have a 9300, not a 9300i so don't know if it's been added, but http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/SM...er-42829.shtml and http://epoc.pdatopsoft.com/Symbian/A...okia-9300/9500 are products which add that enhancement.

Thanks man....

Using it with cingular you want the 850 band. I used mine with t-mo and needed 850 to roam. I would advise against the 9300-a version. Get the 9300b. I have additional info and will pm u.

I have the 9300i, which is a European model communicator. Works just fine in the states with out the 850 band. I mainly use it in big cities though where the lower bands are not used often.

hey pal,

Read Latest Reviews on The Nokia E71 features a slim design, while still managing to have a full QWERTY keyboard..
I think the http://www.dpreview.com/ and http://alatest.com is best source reviews of Nokia E71.

9300 is better than 9500 in terms of "size". Communicators have been labeled as being bulky and heavy but 9300 refutes both of these allegations.

Although lagging WiFi it still is best option.

Thank you

While I have moved on to an ATT Tilt, the 9300 was the first smartphone that i could really travel with and leave the laptop at home. Fast, bright display, "right sized" for being very functional without being a brick. It came with real apps that edited real microsoft documents. I remember a few snickers from people as I worked on my "tiny laptop" on the plane... until the flight landed and I put the 9300 back in its belt case and walked off the plane.. no laptop to put away or carry after flight, easy to travel light and cruise through security.

While I heard the siren's call of wifi, I find that I really don't use it much,and that would be another plus for the 9300. It was also my first phone with obex BT and I could be syncd' by walking in the area of my computer. My major concern with S80 and S60 was there was not a wealth of high function third party applications to go on the very good OS.

since I can't use my tmobile wing to sync with my mac, there are isync plugins for this nokia phone and I was wondering if it has an extensive notes section or field because I have a lot of info in my notes section of my wing and on my mac contacts, if it syncs the notes section I wil be very happy. I purchased the 9300 because it's smaller than the 9500. I almost bought Nokia E90 but thought it would be kind of expensive for a pda phone with no data plan. Of course I paid $450 for my wing with no data plan., Any info would be appreciated
