Nokia 9500 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: October 2004. Updated April 2009.
Released two full years after the previous 9210i
Communicator, the 9500 Communicator has been eagerly awaited for
a long time. Technology has moved forward a long way since 2002, and
the 9500 has plenty of new features to offer.
The list of enhancements is extensive, but top of the list are:
- An enhanced 65k colour display (internal and external)
- 80 Mbytes memory
- Wi-Fi support and Bluetooth™ wireless connectivity
- Integrated VGA camera and video recorder
- Triband operation
The Nokia 9500 Communicator is compatible with most Lotus and Windows
programs that support currently available Microsoft Office formats (MS
Office 97 onwards).
The new TFT internal display is an excellent screen that is much brighter
and easier to use in bright sunlight. Both the internal and external
keyboards have also been improved, making typing quicker and more reliable.
Internally, there is much more memory available - both user storage
and RAM - and the processor is considerably faster. But perhaps the
most welcome feature for many will be the Wi-Fi support, enabling mobile
users to connect to the internet at broadband speeds, when located in
a suitable Wi-Fi "hotspot".
But what about the old bugbear of the Communicator series - its bulk?
Well, the 9500 is around 10% lighter than the 9210i and very slightly
smaller. Nokia are clearly trying hard, but this is still a bulky machine
to carry around.
The Nokia 9500 has now been replaced by the Nokia
N97.
Features of the Nokia 9500 include:
- Full QWERTY keyboard with 8 shortcut keys
- Five-way scroll key on the cover, nine-way scroll key on the PDA
side
- Inner display: Transflective LCD (65,536 colours, 640 x 200 pixels)
- Outer display: Active matrix (65,536 colours, 128 x 128 pixels)
- Symbian 7.0S OS (series 80 platform), Java MIDP 2.0
- Integrated VGA camera and video recorder
- Email: Access your work and private email accounts; supports SMTP,
POP3, and IMAP4 protocols
- Multimedia messaging: Combine image, video, text, and voice clip
and send as MMS to compatible phone or PC; use MMS to tell your story
as a multi-slide presentation
- Built-in applications: Word processor, spreadsheet viewer and editor,
presentation viewer and editor (Microsoft compatible), VPN, Calculator,
File Manager, Voice Recorder, Music Player
- Advanced contacts database with support for multiple phone and email
details per entry, also supports thumbnail pictures and groups
- Opera Internet browser (Support for HTML, XHTML, and JavaScript)
- High-speed data connectivity with EGPRS (EDGE
- up to 236.8 kbps)
- Wireless LAN access (WiFi, IEEE 802.11b - up to 11 mbps)
- Bluetooth™, Infrared, USB 2.0, and Pop-Port™ interfaces
- Fax modem
- Integrated handsfree speaker
- Ringtones: use MIDI, WAV, AMR or AAC/MP3 files as ringing tones
- 80 Mbytes built-in memory, support for additional memory with memory
card (MMC)
- Tri-band operation
- Size: 148 x 57 x 24 mm
- Weight: 222g
- Talktime: 4 - 6 hours
- Battery standby: up to 12 days

Just cannot name one feature to be unhappy with... never mind if it
is bulky or not... it almost replaces a laptop (well almost...) I own
one, not currently being used as one of the connecting hinge is broken
and the PCB running from the Inner Display & the Keypad is almost lost
contact... I am just dying to get it fixed. Having used many brands
and models I still am proud to own my 9500 communicator. IT IS THE BEST
EVER MADE BY NOKIA

I switched to the 9500 from the IPAQ 6315 and I can tell you that I
absolutely love it. There are some down sides and they are as follows:
In the U.S. you can not find a carrying case. Also, as advertised in
the net, it does not have blackberry and apparently will not. Not sure
why it is available on the 9300 and not on the 9500. It is a tad large,
especially when you do not have a case. Notwithstanding, the POP3 via
GPRS is excellent. The battery life is incredible. The main point is
that it is first a phone and then a computer and its scores highly on
both.

This is my second 9500. I sold my previous grey cover and got myself
a new classic silver cover one. More features being added and one thing
I noticed is that the screen tends to flickers and I tend to see shadows
behind the letter. I am not sure whether because the price has gone
down and so does the workmanship. I check with some other phones (same
models) they are all the same. Other then this faults, it execellent!

I wish to bring it your kind knowledge that the Spell Check facility/provision
be made available in Nokia 9500 Communicator. I have earlier used Nokia
9210 & 9210i Communicator. Later opted for Nokia 9500 Communicator since
it has got advanced features. After using that, I came to know that
my ultimate purpose was not fulfilled as the Communicator has no Spell
Check provision available in Nokia 9500. Another drawback is that it
is getting hanged up frequently. Bluetooth is not functioning properly
as it is disconnected very obviously. Another difficulty I come across
is when I access the mail through Laptop via Bluetooth accessing is
very slow (only 9 kb). I cannot send the outgoing mails from this Communicator.
Even though my system is facilitated with Global Roaming facility, I
cannot send the mails from abroad also. After upgrading the Nokia latest
Software the said points were not solved. Hence I request you to kindly
look into the above said practical difficulties to sort it out at the
earliest so as to enable the Communicator users like me to work in a
more efficient and effective manner. Regards/ Shanmugavelu R e-mail

Can i not give it ten stars?? Outstanding piece of kit!! Built quality
is top notch, very sturdy unit. Had a SE P910i for a while, altho that
is also an excellent handset too, there's nothing like having a qwerty
keyboard you can actually use on a mobile, and this has it. Great screen
clarity, I think the battery has a nuclear reactor, I havent charged
the phone in 6 days, have made and recieved calls totalling 90 minutes,
sent more texts than I can count and it still has 2 bars left on the
display. Wi-Fi is a breeze to use anywhere, and you'd be surprised how
many places you can use it. Nokia PC Suite software is a cinch to use,
after a 5 minute setup just plonk your handset in its cradle and in
sync's silently with no intervention and no hassle. Signal quality is
excellent on Vodafone and T-Mobile, not tried the others yet. THis fone
is a big improvement over the 9210i I had in the past. Telnet applications
work just as well as on the 9210i also, which is half the reason I bought
the fone. The only downside is no backlit qwerty keyboard and no vibration
feature, but those I can live without on such a cool fone. Well done
Nokia !!!!!

The bluetooth is pathetic, it keeps disconnecting from the handsfree
Nokia HS11W. The phone & the handsfree was replaced by Nokia however
the same problem persists. The phone hangs. Nokia has upgraded the software
5 times but still no effect. They have again voluntered to replace the
handset with a new one with additional two months warranty - I have
demanded for a refund. Surprising the top of the line model to have
such a problem. The service personnel at Nokia are not even worth mentioning,
the phone has been surrendered to them 20 days back & I am yet waiting
for a response.

Hi, I'm used to travelling a lot in places where there is either both
GSM/WiFi, or one or the other. This phone has worked absolutely marvelously.
I used to own Nokia 9210i, and that phone was garbage compared to this
one. The camera on the 9500 is also much better than I anticipated for
a VGA quality. So, what's the best thing there? Being able to download
big attachments for emails straight to the phone, and even open PDF
files if need be. WiFi hotspots are also fun, because you don't have
to carry your laptop over to be connected. What I would want in the
future -- An FM radio for 9500.. That would be awesome. Also, having
Xpress-On GPS covers would be great when travelling abroad and finding
routes. All in all --- an excellent piece of technology, and 100x better
value for the buck when compared to the old 9210i Communicator.

When the screen on my hugely reliable 9110i started to fail after I
had dropped the phone - I thought the 9500 would be a good replacement.
No so though. As others have already mentioned it is limited in its
facilities compared with other devices of same genre and price - the
lack of a vibrator and the fact that you have to search for a log to
check that messages have been delivered rather than getting a resident
screen message or a txt message is a real pain especially as there is
no record of time of delivery in the log - but more importantly its
reliability is an issue. Aside from straightforward mechanical looseness
of the various covers, it crashes and freezes and loses time. Each time
I talk to Nokia they brush aside the freezing etc and time loss instead
of getting to grips with it. I was advised that a firmware upgrade would
make the phone more reliable but if it has its not obvious that it has
done so. While my 9110i lacked the frills at least it was reliable.
Its high time Nokia stopped the customer led R&D on the 9500 and brought
an upgrade package that sorts all the problems out once and for all.
I know - in my dreams!

I sat down and compared my I-MATE PDA2K with a NOKIA 9500.Here is what
I found:- MOST USER FRIENDLY PDA2K, not NOKIA 9500. APPEARANCE : PDA2K
has a screen that you cant take your eyes off. Nokia 9500 has a longish
screen which opens out like the bellows of a Harmonium. The keyboard
though big, is more difficult to use, you need to sit down somewhere
and then start typing, whereas with the PDA2K u can do it standing or
even walking. OPERATING SYSTEM : PDA2K uses the extremely user friendly
WIndows Mobile OS, and compared to SYMBIAN 7.0 OS, I must say Windows
Mobile is faster, reliable and user friendly, intuitively designed.
CONNECTIVITY : Both o have the same connectivity capability, so I did
not go into that comparison at all. VIBRATOR: The designer perhapsfelt
people dont like VIBRATORS but that is an oversight. While not using
the PDA2K as it comfortably sits by my waist,I can feel the Text or
MMS messages flowing in, and they will not disturb my work with a loud
noise if I choose to, whereas Nokia 9500 simply does not vibrate. SOUND
REPRODUCTION: PDA2K has a ery soft sounding speaker, not too loud, and
here Nokia takes the lead,does sound a lot louder, but look at it this
way, if you really wantloud sound, you can buy a pair of JBL portable
speakers. I feel more comfortable with the PDA2K for some very crucial
reasons. I think I did the right thing when I decided not to buy the
Nokia 9500.

I bought this phone for its key functions, but I absolutely hate it.
It is an ugly phone, purely masculine; it does not vibrate, which makes
me miss a lot of important calls in noisy enviroments; the choice of
ring tone is very limited, and the ones available do not suit my taste
(my last phone came with a lot of tasteful classical music ring-tones);
there is no voice-dialling; the contact list has a mind of its own,
and does not follow the abphabetical order: I have set it to arrange
in the alphabetical order of everyone's first name, but somehow company
names take precedence, and there is no way to change it; it is very
fiddly to set the ring-tones for groups: it doesn't let you assign a
certain ring-tone to a certain group, you have to do it individually
(I've 182 entries in my address book), one by one; most of the settings
cannot be done on the cover phone itself; the battery is very difficult
to remove; unlike my last phone, it does not have auto switch-off; it
does not give a range of choice for the start-up tone, and there is
no shut-down tone. In short, the Nokia 9500 does not please my eyes
and ears. So I only treat it as a tool (half-useful), but I can never
like it and treat it as a valuable/indispensable property, because it
does not give me enough choice to personalise it to my convenience.

First excitement went, and reality hits. First, there is no fax modem,
as it written above. It's just a modem, because when you connect it
eg. to notebook modem properties\query AT+FCLASS=? says zero, that means
no software like MS Fax service is able to send faxes through the phone.
By the way, this is possible with 6260, 8310 and some others. Phone
menu became too stricted, lots of valuable features have migrated from
"Phone" menu to "Smartphone?" control panel. The last one is really
ugly. Another thing is that "Java" OS (Symbian) and build-in Opera web
browser can't open java applets - financial reports, etc. E-mail tool
cant use SMTP TCP port other than 25 - lots of people use different
ones. You cannot print or send faxes from 3rd party applications like
Adobe Acrobat - oh, it is able to send primitive text message or a document
from built-in text processor as fax. This Acrobat Reader version doesnt'
have international support. Just to resume - 9500 is not for customers
, it's just a marketing thing. Too much promises in all directions,
but non of them has been successfully finished. Well it's expensive
though! For such money I'd better buy Qtek 2020i - really successfull
device. P.S. 9500 has been presented to me on birthday by my younger
wealthy brother who thought to bring some magic in particular life of

I do not change phones very often. My Ericsson T39m had served me well
for many years when someone told me about the new smartphones. Next
day, I found myself in a phone shop. I had no idea what make or type
I needed. But I knew that I wanted some kind of a PDA/phone and finally
I had to choose between an Ericsson 910i and the 9500. The 9500 had
no vibrator, a lousy camera and no radio. And sooo big and heavy! But
I walked out of the shop with my new 9500. Why? Simply because it suits
me better than any other phone on the planet. The built-in office package,
the full(sized) keyboard, wide screen, easy IR and Bluetooth, the hands-free
and many other features made it an instant success. And it still is.
If I only could figure out how to activate the "advanced calculator"!

I haven't found the perfect phone, but I'm very pleased with the Nokia
9500. I find its integration of personal technologies an exponential
improvement over working with a separate PDA, phone, laptop, MP3 player,
etc. The 9500 will save you the nuisance of carrying separate gadgets
- and remembering to bring them along or losing them - and ties them
together so that one feature's specific output can be used within another.
For example, save an MP3, use it for listening pleasure, but also use
it as a ring tone. Snap a friend's picture for posterity but also use
it in the contacts database. Bluetooth just about anything in/out. Start
a conference call but also use the voice recorder record the conversations...
It's all there and I don't know of any other phone that can do it so
well and conveniently. For me, drawbacks such as no vibrate or larger
size, are quite forgivable as they're low on my priority list. The value
the Nokia 9500 provides was slam dunk and useful purchase for me. I'm
happy to carry it around in my pocket everyday. BTW, the slightly smaller
size over its predecessor, makes it easier to find a case for it, e.g.,
certain sunglass cases, or Breitling zip-up watch cases.

move needs, whether it is buetooth,wi-fi,full fledged keyboard,a large
screen, camera,and the sucessful symbian operating software. But for
this price there can be some improvement in graphics, the camera should
be a megapixel and screen resolution should also be increased.Nokia
should also consider decreasing the size and the weight a bit, it might
encourage some more sales.As 4 me it is still a little cumbersome to
carry a phone this big. Overall an excellent phone no doubts.

If there were six stars then this phone would win them. Working for
the Vodacom company, which is the leading cellular network in SA, I
have had a lot to do with the Nokia 9500, but didnt own one myself,
untill three or so days ago. These are my impressions: To start off
with, the size thing really isnt such a big issue. Yes, it is big and
all that, but does it really bother all that much? My thoughs are that
it is big and bulky, but it is also of a STURDY CONSTRUCTION. I have
seen way to many Nokia 6100's and Motorola V3's that come in becuase
of their flimsy and fragile disigns. Fact of the matter is that it is
a good, solid phone. The software on the phone is a joy to operate.
The response times are very good, and the features are well balanced.
Yes, the phone is aimed at the business user, but there are enough "fun"
features to keep the fun lover occupied. The Symbian OS does require
the user to have a slightly above-avarage knowledge, but not so much
so that the phone is unusable. Take the OS on the 9210i for example.
I hate it, coz I can not get my head around it. The phone itself is
the best I have owned thus far, and I change phones about once a month.
This phone I can see staying with me for quite a while, as I have owned
iMate and everything else, but have not (untill now) found a phone that
can do everything I need it to do. The keyboard, though it certainly
doesnt look it, is actually a joy to use.Typing email and sms has never
been faster or more effective. Yes, iMate and their touch-screens are
good, but have you ever tried "writing" and email when on the train
or on the bus? Another winner is the fact that, for the first time in
my experience, there is a phone that can make propper use of Midi files
as alert tones. In the past these files would be so soft when used that
they might as well have not been used at all. With the 9500 this is
a thing off the past, as Midi files are played back with a high enough
volume to actually be usefull. The same goes for MP3s and AACs. Battery
life is truly exceptional. On my SE V800 Vodaphone my battery would
last me a day at the most, forcing me to charge it every night when
I got home. Since getting the 9500 my usage hasnt decreased, but actually
increased, and my batter is still going on stong after the first charge.
Over all it is an astounding phone. Not having 3G network access isnt
that big a deal, as I can say from first hand experience that 3G isn't
all it is cracked up to be. Sure, video calls are nice, but what use
is it when no one has a compatibe phone.I give it another three or so
years before that particular technology will actually be usefull in
SA. Smooth, powerfull, and smart. Those are on my eyes the key elements
that make the Nokia 9500 what it is. It is a wonder of a phone, and
is going to be on the market long after iMate have retired their PDA2K,
and SE their P910i.

wangled a deal to get this monster. my first real phone was a the t28
world, which i loved at the time (i would probably still give that 5*).
i vowed to stick with the swedes. but then went american with motorola.
then a few samsungs later tested the depth with a nokia 8910i (singularly
the worst phone i have had. the build quality was so shoddy ... cheap
and its construction was poor ... i still have it in bits ... a monument
to my stupidity - a 1* ... the reviewers of that who give it 5 must
be on some kind of space dust that makes them think that expensive =
outstanding). another few phones later ... i decided to give the finns
another crack. this time with this brick. so far so good. it takes a
bit of getting used to but feels so much nicer than the swedes p910i
and it is functinally better. i'm no techy, but access to my website
is fine and that other than calls is basically what i wanted it for.
the bricknesses ... i can live with that with my gun-like holster ...kerpow

I am quite disturbed by ome of the comments made by others in this review.
As a developer on this and the 7710 I wonder why users are complaining
that it doesn't have a touch screen, I mean you bought it? The device
is a little slow we know this, you can't complain about the WIFI speed
though anything faster would kill battery life. Most of the problems
you have described can be fixed by getting your phones software updated
as with most products in IT they are perfected in maintenance. You should
be aware that testing is taken VERY seriously at the big N but no amount
of testing will account for real life use.

Just bought the 9500. It is big, ugly and heavy. It cannot be smaller
and still give the convenience of a reasonable QWERTY key board, size
is not an issue. It is ugly but then again, I have no desire to show
off my phone to my friends sporting the latest GT stripes. looks is
not an issue. It is heavy, I can live with it but to some it might be
a bit of an issue and perhaps rightly so. Physically there is a major
issue in that the phone opens too easily which makes it necessary to
be careful when one picks it up as it is inclinded to flop open. (I
hope the Nokia boys read this) The camera, which is very usefull to
have, is not as good as on other makes of phones. Considering 640x480
producing 80 to 100k file, the photo should be of a better quality.
Here again, it is not a big issue as a camera is a minor feature. I
am very happy with the 9500. It fits my business like a glove. I can
access my email and my website and SSH into my Linux driven system with
the greatest of ease. The screen does make a difference as apposed to
screens of other makes.

I'm just finding my way around the 9500 after using a Psion Series 5mx
and a separate mobile. So far, the 9500 has met my expectations - it
may be a little large for a mobile phone but there's a limit to how
small it can be and still incorporate a 'normal' keyboard. I find the
keyboard and 'mouse' a little too stiff - hopefully it might soften
up with use ? In general, it's a great device, I'm looking forward to
keeping my laptop and the 9500 completely in synch. I'd appreciate a
better manual in respect of the connection imformation for e-mail settings

Unfortunately, all new Nokia Communicators are faulty due to badly written
software and realy poor testing. I think this is an outrage, considdering
the very high price. I have used Nokia Communicators since the 9000
came out, so I know what I'm talking about. The new 9500 (I have software
version 4.44) is - I have to regret saying - no exception, in fact it
is worse than the 9210 and 9110 as they came out. Nokia even took out
a feature that I often used: from the front of the phone (e.g. in the
carkit) it is no longer possible to select a contact selecting the companyname.
Unbelievable! As I put the phone in the carkit, the radio mutes every
time i press a button on the phone. Switching off the keyboardtones
helps, but why? Synchronising the agenda and tasks with Outlook 2003
is not possible. Unbelievable! Why are these things not tested and solved
before the phone came out, since all users have these problems. The
phone is slow every now and then. I could go on, but I red that most
problems are solved by software version 4.51. I think it is an outrage
that we have to pay a lot of money to betatest a faulty product. I also
have to admit: if it works, it's the best phone in the world!

I have used the Nokia 9500 for more than a month now. So far I am quite
pleased with the phone. In particular the display and keyboard is impressive.
Although the keyboard looks quite cramped it is actually very useful
and is a big advantage if you actually USE the device. I thought I would
need a touch screen but the software is made in such a way that you
don't need it. Well done. The not so good is too many (>3) bad pixels
in the display at annoying places (not up to IBM standards on this!)
and more severely that it is very, very slow! Time between recharge
is nothing less than impressive - althogh I use it a lot (and WiFi +
GPRS + Voice) as well as the PDA functions there is usually three to
four days between recharging. Guess the Li-Polymer battery is on top
of the situation. Syncronization works painless and is way better than
what I have seen with previous Symbian versions. WiFi was easy to set
up whereas HSCSD has so far caused more problems. The powerpoint application
has worked very well - even for 1MB files. In conclusion, given the
many useful applications, the processor is simply too slow and that
will cost the N9500 a star.

I can't imagine what the designer's were thinking that designed this
phone. The whole phone is so clutsy and unintuitive. It takes 8 keystrokes
to unlock it, and this usually takes a few tries. The center scroll
button is impossible to depress exactly in the center, which is Select/OK
key for most everything. The screen is not a touch screen, which makes
web-surfing very difficult. It is not a touch screen and therefore has
no stylus. This phone is also a brick - much too big to carry in a pocket.
There's no button for Silent mode - only scrolling around through menus
to select a Silent Profile. It's very slow to scroll through Contacts,
and in fact overall phone is slow to react to user menu selections.
I bought this phone after having a Sony-Ericcson P900, and the P900
was a much better-made phone with better OS and user-interface.

I bought one just because of the organiser. This more than lives upto
the name "Communicator". It is fantastic. It is crammed to the brim
with usefull well thought out and easy to use stuff ! I especially love
the organiser which is the same style as the good old psion REVO/5MX
only its better. You can view a whole year into your future (on one
screen) with this gadget. It will colour code the dates so you can (at
a glance) see how your future is booked up. The phone is just an added
benefit to this hand held mini computer. You can speak to people as
if its a mobile phone - or a desk top style speaker phone (away from
you head - if your worried about effects of mobiles on your grey matter)
You can surf the net on a nice wide screen and see everything as it
is on your own pc. The keyboard allows you to input data faster than
one of those touch screen hand-helds. This really is the world in the
palm of your hands. You can access whatever you want wherever you want.
Anouther difference over the handheld touch screen type devices is that
the spread sheet will produce graphs and charts where-as my HP/IPAQ
(pocket XL)could not do this usefull job. All in all this is a powerfull
all in one "must have" gadget of gadgets for 2005. I think NOKIA have
done a real nice job here. I just wish it used the smaller size of memory
/SD cards so I would not need a universal card reader.

Durable and has a strong outer shell which perfectly protects the inner
PDA. A very practical phone with lots of features. WiFi is excellent
but little bit tough to configure. Camera quality is better than P900/910.
People who work on computers will find it very easy to use. especially
when working(Viewing, creating and editing) with word documents, Powerpoint
presentations and spreadsheets. Excellent support for HP printers. Its
very easy to use and shortcuts for connectivity(Bluetooth,IR), Screen
brightness and zoom provided on the QWERTY keyboard are a plus point.
Help feature is excellent and very easy to access and use. Sound and

The nokia 9500 is a fantastic offering for an all in one multipurpose
box of tricks. What does it for me is the keyboard. Un-matched by any
phone or PDA out there. I love the ability to slot in MMC cards. I will
be buying a 1 gig memory card. I love the ability to play back mp3's.
With a gig of space that's more tunes than my old mp3 player can hold
by far. Ok not as much as an ipod but an ipod ain't able to browse the
internet, SMS, make voice calls, use office applications etc... I love
the fact I just land it on it's seat and it's USB connected to my PC
ready for me to transfer mp3's or whatever files I want. I like the
improved battery life. I love navigation and easy access to the organiser
and other key functions. I HATE THERE IS NO JACK CONNECTOR. I mean that
you can't connect up a normal headphone, you are limited to using the
nokia headphones which are terrible compared to what is available in
general. However, there are several ways around this problem. One of
them is to get a little nokia/jack adaptor which will then allow you
to plug any headphones with a jack connection. I think this is what
I will do! The only other considerable drawback with the communicators
is their size. It's a bulky phone, but then it's gotta be bulky to fit
all the features in (although there is still some space around the screen
and keyboard that is wasted imo... but I ain't an expert on phone design
either). I'm not massively keen on the look of the phone, although the
alternative cases look like they might be improvement to how it comes
in the box. I might try one out.
