New Communicator...Coming Soon?

no :cry:

A rival would probably mean a UIQ based device, seeing as the P800 and 9210 are in a completely different league.

from my-symbian forums

That's not true. There are two new Communicator-like Symbian OS devices to be released within a period of one year. Or maybe even three. I can't tell anything more, but the first one will be available this year and the second one will be announced this year and available early 2004. Be sure that all will have BT, GPRS, camera, fast CPU, much more memory, MMS and things like that.

However, it is possible that they will no longer use the 9xxx scheme. They will either have some names or other series. And they will differ a bit - the range will be split into several different devices for different needs, like PDA, multimedia etc.

Sorry, no further information at this point.

I can confirm that text from Michael ...

I'd still prefer it to be more like 92xx type with more stuff and maybe a bit smaller... 😉

A version that suffers less damage when u drop it would be good as well!

😮 😉

Two new communicators ? Maybe 3 ?

Wow.

Yes, well. Then shall we call any new phone from Nokia "communicators" just because they have camera, gprs, gps, mms, or whatever... ?

When we see how much it costs to develop one 9210 style phone, we can wonder...

It seems that the new communicator will be announced soon according to my-symbian.com.
but come on guys,I'm sure that you MUST know details.
give us a hint.
and dont log in the forum,if ure so shy 😃

Yeah!!!!!!!!!! 8)

Not This Year!

For shure!@

Well according to this register article there will be a Nokia WiFi device this year and that article links to this Nokia interview where it says it expects to use symbian in its Mid Range and High Range phones. Draw your own conclusions .

I just love wild speculation and thats all this is 😃

lets wait and see....

Too right! You can only be sure about a device when a company states they are making it.

Even then you cannot be sure that it will make it to market or when it will do so.

I though that was only Microsoft smartphones 😉

Yep! Seems to effect all devices in all categories 😊
