pls compare the speakerphone of 9500 with that of 9210i. also could we use the speakerphone when flip closed? what is the clock speed of the chip?

pls also wonder whether the opera browser on 9500 has an unlimited zoom function like the destop version? if not, can we change the font size of the browser on 9500 like that of the default browser of 9210 (note that we cannot do that on the opera on 9210i, can do only on the defult browser on 9210)?

Another request for you (are you still happy you won?? 😉) : What do you think of the battery life? Did you have some time to test it?

hi,

i wont answer your question now,

gimme some time and ill surely come back to u,

The speaker of the fone is adequate,

to me, it shud've been better, but it can fulfil ur requirements and especially if u use the handsfree then the music sounds really nice,

and yes, since the speaker is on the side of the fone unlike the 9210i, you can comfortably use it with the lid closed,

in fact that wud save u a bit of battery as well,

and now ocming to the battery,

its really long lasting,

i am very happy with the battery,

i finished of mine yesterday after continous playing of hours of music on the speaker,

im very happy with the battery life,

i think if you are worried about using wifi on this battery,

it should last you long,

v, thanks for your reply. but could u be kind to compare the speakerphone of 9500 with that of 9210i. i have to ask specifically about this because my 9210i is quite new. there is no reason for me to buy 9500 if its speakerphone is not at least as good as that of 9210i. thank you again for your help.

well its certainly better than 9210i,

I recently purchased a P910i...I have been waiting for this communicator since the news of it back in february. Either way I will buy the 9500, but I would just like to see a comparison. Please?

Here it goes a short comparison:

SCREEN: With 9500 you'll have a much larger screen - 640x200 insted of 320x208 from P910i. A BIG PLUS FOR 9500, specially for internet and word, excel.

MEMORY: With 9500 you'll have 80mb of RAM insted of 64mb from P910i. Not very different here.

WLAN: Wi-fi only with 9500. ANOTHER BIG PLUS FOR 9500.

BLUETOOTH, INFRA-RED, CAMERA... both have it.

DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT: Nokia 9500 - 148 x 57 x 24 mm and 222g;
P910i - 115 x 57 x 26 mm and 155g.
Here is where P910i call the shots. Lighter and smaller

TOUCH SCREEN: Only with P910i.

QWERTY KEYBOARD: P910i have a tinny QWERTY keyboard that you can only use it with a sharp stick (forget the fingers!). Nokia 9500 (like any communicator) have a REAL KEYBOARD that you can use it.

PRICE: the same - around 800� here in Portugal - Nokia 9500 isn't out yet, so we're talking about an estimated price.

I hope I answered your question.

Thanks RickeyTec

I knew all of that info already...just seeing if anyone had any additional comments or preference after having both. I know its early but has anyone purchased or used both and can sensibly say which is better? The WIFI is the BEST feature of the 9500.

You posted even a GPS software for navigation included with communicator. Is that right or i just misunderstood your post?
Thx a lot!

Congrats on receiving the phone! I guess this now means that they do actually exist, and that us mere mortals might get our hands on one, one day... 😃
Thanks for all the info!

Yes theres a GPS software in the CD,

But if its FOC or you have to pay to the developer is not known to me,

As i havent installed it cuz i dont use GPS,

Another question: Does the outside of the phone (series 40 part) have T9? I read somewhere the pre-releases didn't, so I'd like to know if that changed...

:redface: Oops, this thread is moving so fast, I already forgot the first parts. Anyway, thanks for reminding me Raven :redface:

Not a problem, Delta 😊

I really think it's a shame they left out T9 (P800 flashback). I guess it may have something to do with the cost of licencing from Tegic. I dunno.

No T9, no calendar and no MIDlets from the phone side are the only drawbacks I can think of though.

MEMORY: With 9500 you'll have 80mb of RAM insted of 64mb from P910i. Not very different here.

Do not confuse internal storage memory with RAM - memory needed for execution of applications.

Any hints on how many fingers you can use to touch type on the 9500.2,4,6?

Can you use WAP browser on phone side ?

I don't think you can use WAP or any browser on the phone side, but why do need it? The other screen is the one that you should use for browsing WAP or WEB.

The number of fingers would really depend on your palm and finger size,

i prefer typing with 2 to 6 fingers,

although people with slim fingers can mange with all 8

as for the browser outside,

as i mentioned earlier,

the series 4 menu has the following items
msgs, call log, contacts, profiles, settings, cam, and sim services(ur service providers menu)

i think all questions have already been asnswered somewhere or the other,
i suggest u guys read all the msgs once again

too bad no MIDlets are aviable for serie 40. I'd like to play something while not working without opening the communicator side.
Probably aviable with a software upgrade, or completely impossible?

It's definitely not impossible. But it's highly unlikely that nokia will offer such a firmware upgrade.
