No "vibrate" function in any of the communicators AFAIK

Please say if it has T9

No T9, unfortunately.

It's got a proper keyboard, why do you need T9? :con?

Me and my keyboard fetish again: How many fingers can you use to touch type on the 9500?

I can think of many situations where I wouldn't want to open it up just to respond to an SMS etc. One handed, "on the go" usage is another important factor.

Simply.......... T9 for fast one hand operation... its reall important feautre

Really Lucky
Not only won Nokia 9500 and have get just before release.

Each to their own, I doubt very much that i'll use the front part of the phone at all!! And I can't stand T9 anyway, it doesn't recognise some extremely simple words, I see it more of a pain than a help.

congratulations man u deserve it
now where is our personal review😊

thanks

Congratulations !!!
Enjoy Your New Toy !!!!!

Come on Vineetamar write down a little review, don't leave us!! 😊
Post more photos...We are waiting for you !! 😃

Thanks to all of you for your congrats ....

Now what all of you have been waiting for,

some reviews,

first of all .. the fone looks grr8 and feels grr8 ....
it feels light(u'd say .. duhh it IS light, but it feels way lot more lighter than wats the diff in weight)

the front screen looks good but otherwise the features are pretty basic, u have a navigator(the round button) to use for the front screen and it takes a while to get used to as many times i tried to press enter but pressed it down and opened up contacts instead,

the front screens use is pretty basic but the colored screen and the backgrnd make it v appealing,

otherwise it has the following features:
messages, call log, contacts, profile, settings, camera, Service providers menu

and now we come to what makes this phone the winner,

the inner screen,

well you lal have read reviews and read a hell lot about the fone but seriously when u have it to urself to play around with, its really good,

the keyboard is very handy, the keys are almost feather touch, especially the enter key, and i find it very easy to type with this keypad,

you all have seen pics of the keypad so im not gonna describe it,
the navigator inside is very handy and makes browsing all the more easier and enjoyable,

i tried using word files, excel sheets, powerpoint presentations, pdf files,
and the fone opens them easily and you can use these files with ease,
if any file needs converting it converts it automatically,

the fone has an mp3 player(which u all kno abt) but the speaker quality acc to me is pretty average, well i am a demanding customer, but still i wudve expected better quality on the speakers,

the the fone seems slow at times to me,

and the fone has serious connectivity problems via IR,

i've had 3 hangs till now and all when i was attempting to connect to my laptop via IR, although the data cable works perfectly,

the camera is also ok,
it has 3 modes for picture quality, high, normal and basic,
there is also a night mode, and a portrait mode, in the portrait mode the res is 80 x 96 rather than 640 x 480

i recorded a video but all i cud manage was 10 secs with the current memory,

i transfered some pics but the fone wudnt open them and everytime i opened them the software hung and closed,
then i reduced the resolution of those pics on my pc and reloaded them and they opened up fine,

Wifi - i used the wifi a bit but i cudnt use it extensively as i dont have wifi points arnd but the fone did detect one wifi point once and i tried to connect to it,

i managed a page in good time even tho the software said the signal was 'weak'

but i wont comment on wifi as i havent used it much,

the data transfer from my 9210i was very easy as the fone comes with a software especially designed for data transfer and it transfered all my msgs and my calender items and my notes as well, via IR,

thats all i can think of rightnow,

do ask me questions if you have any,

also check out here for picture quality and third party softwares,

more pics ...............

Thanks for the update!

Seems it still needs some updates before the OS is perfect.

Hi Vineetamar
Tell me one thing that if some take your phone Then will u buy this phone at this stage.
and One thing more as compare to p900 who's sound quality is better.

Hey Vicky,

Frankly as of now this is the fone i will buy,

but perhaps in the next year, the motorola mpx seems to be a good alternative,

but i must admit that i have a special liking for the communicator series,

i find them more classy, more elegant than the other competitors and the looks and the feel is a major issue with me,

as for the sound quality,

i had the p800, and its comparable with that,

as i said, its adequate, but dont have too high hopes with playing mp3's

as for your ringtones and alerts, yes u'll find them loud,

V

Thanks Vineetamar
Hope that i can get Nokia9500 Soon.
as u said that u r the fan of communicator series.
is it have better handling then 9210i (When Closed)and can it come in the pocket easily.
Wht Operating system used in 40 series.
Does it Support the 40 series themes.
its like 6230 or like 6610

Well to answer your questions,

9500 is defnitely better than the 9210i in every respect,

with the cover closed as well,

the options are a bit better in this one rather than 9210i,

and you asked abt carrying this fone,

well i had gone for my weekly golf in the morning,

and i had this fone with me,

no problems,

i generally left my 9210i in the car or at home itself,

for someone like me used to the 9210i this is really light and handy,

it fits easily into tight trousers including denims(u mite wanna be careful of getting scratchedin denims tho),

and unlike the 9210i's outer keys( which used to get in ur way) this one slides and glides through,
