This smartphone just got smarter

Nokia has expanded its business device portfolio with a new addition to its high-end smartphone range, the Nokia 9300i.

Incorporating WLAN connectivity with a full keyboard, 65,536-color screen, support for a broad range of enterprise e-mail solutions and an attachment viewer, the Nokia 9300i is the perfect combination of design and function and is ideally suited to meet the tough demands of mobile professionals.

With the addition of WLAN connectivity, the Nokia 9300i enhances productivity by providing a reliable and cost-effective data connection for downloading large files or e-mail with attachments.

A memory capacity of 80 MB (expandable up to 2GB with an optional MMC card) provides ample space for file storage.

The wide color screen makes it easy to view different types of documents, spreadsheets, presentations and websites.

Add outstanding voice capabilities and the Nokia 9300i enterprise smartphone is a great all-in-one device.

"Nokia continues to offer more choices for individuals looking for fully featured smartphones built specifically for business use," said Niklas Savander, senior vice president of Nokia’s business device unit for the Enterprise Solutions business group.

"Our business customers want continuity as well as a constant stream of improvements in our products. The Nokia 9300i delivers just that as it combines WLAN and other features with a suite of powerful applications and e-mail solutions," Savander added.

The Nokia 9300i smartphone supports E-GPRS (EDGE) and WLAN 802.11g, five-party conference calling via an integrated speakerphone and multiple e-mail clients (with attachments), including BlackBerry Connect, IBM WebSphere, Oracle Collaboration Suite, Smartner and Visto.

The Nokia 9300i smartphone also integrates infrared and Bluetooth capabilities, giving users two different ways to wirelessly synchronize their devices to a desktop PC or laptop, as well as exchange data with other mobile devices.

Planned availability for the Nokia 9300i smartphone is the first quarter of 2006.

Nokia will offer one tri-band version of the Nokia 9300i optimized for mobile networks in Europe and Asia (900/1800/1900 MHz) and capable of operating in compatible GSM networks in the Americas.
