1.Atrtachments. Yes you can receive and open attachments. I have used JPEG and Sheet. You can edit them.
2. Yes you can open sheet and word for example and edit them and then re-send. Sheet works quite well but column widths and font sizes frequently get messed up in the conversion, but it does not take long to sort it out, I find.
Word Docs import pretty well, but you lose any Hypertext links in the documents. The text of the links remains, but the hyperlinks don't.
Overall it works well with an XP PC and I am finding WiFi brilliant and the ablity to download lists and sheets onto the phone for travelling superb.

I was a 9210i user.
Just make sure you get the latest firmware.

If you convert Word docs to Mobipocket .prc files, they retain the hyperlinks, and are much faster to load and much smaller, too.

Yes, using the built-in RealPlayer, or the two (currently) available third party video players.

And what are the must have applications and softwares that i must install on the nokia 9500 communicator

Search the forum.

and can the series 60 software such as smart movie work on the communicator

Series 60 software, no, but SmartMovie is available for Series 80 (Communicators).

And i would like to get address of certain web-sites that allow me to download software for the 9500 free of charge

I hope you're not asking for wares (cracked software) here? Again, please search the forum.

And lastly i would like to know is there any code or any timer inside the communicator that informs me that the phone has not been previously used by any other person.

Type: *#92702689# (i.e. *#war0anty#) on the phone/cover side.

I did that "warroanty" code thingy on my 9300 and under "Standby time" it says 1555... Whats that; hours, minutes, days? I have had my 9300 since yesterday afternoon, that mean it wasnt new?

Minutes. It might mean that it has been used as a demo unit, I dunno. My 9300's Standby timer reads; 125750 and I've had it for three months.

Cheers for the quick reply. If its minutes then (assuming my math is right) that equates to about 25 hours uptime. Sounds about right to be honest!
