Nokia 9300 / 9300i

Is there a way to determine if your phone is a new 850 band (as opposed to a 900)? I suspect there will be a lot of people giving great deals on older 9300's trying to dump them. I looked at my current phones and didn't find anything in the documentation or phone menus that told me I have a tri-band 850 phone. Thanks

Anyone know where you can download skins or themes for this device??

Who are the service providers going to be?

Will cause sales.

Does anyone know if this phone will work on the cingular US network given i use their SIM card in the phone. Any Ideas

Does it have a touch screen like the Treo 650?

The rumors flying from corporate offices in the mountain time zone region are a price of $599.99 if cingular offers the phone. It looks like the decision is still split 50/50. my guess is that they will, even if its 2-1 that they shouldn't. A lot of it is because of nokias generosity in spending billions to build towers with cingular so they can build phones tailored just for cingulars service. either way, i dont feel the phone will have much of an effect on sales, carried or not

I stopped by my local Cingular store and the rep. showed me brochures featuring the 9300 and call plans. As I was there to hear the bad news about the 6682 (not in yet) I didn't absorb the details.

I want this phone so bad, but not having the vibrate function is a deal-breaker. I go to restaraunts and bars and other places where I rely on vibrate very much.
Nokia is foolish for including so many features and leaving out the most important one.

I can't for the life of me figure out the master reset (clear all) button on this, anyone know how to do it?

I can't get my 9300 to back up it's current data. The contacts & emails keep giving me an error. The other files back-up fine. I've tried both Back-up and transfer to PC. Also made sure I've got the latest Nokia PC Suite software.

I would also think then when I go into the Phone Browser option on my PC, I'd see the emails and contacts there, but the files are empty.

Any suggestions?

Aloha, 😁

Do you think T-mobile will carry the 9300 since they support the 9290 that I currently own? They have the best pricing coverage available as compared to cingular.

When do you think the 9300 will launch in the US, my 9290 just broke and I picked up the Treo 650 and it doesn't hold a candle compared to the Nokia PDA/Cell platform. HELP.... 😕

Are we looking at 1 month, 3 months or 6 months.

Do you suggest picking up an unlock one? What are the downfalls...?

What other phone is comparable? None right?
Thanks for your help....it's greatly appreciated!
Aloha

Hi all,

All of the 9300s that I find for sale on the internet (including eBay) are the Euro tri-band (i.e., 900 MHz instead of 800/850). Is the 800/850 MHz phone actually available? If not, that may explain why no US carriers have picked it up.

Will this phone have Wi-fi capabilities?

Does anyone know if i can put a wi fi card in to this unit. It has outlook but the os system is symbian and not windows... any help

Anyone know if they've released the model with 800 yet? if so where can I get one?

Nokia (Finland) invented the cellphones,and always will be step or two ahead other brandnames. This phone speak for itselfs....

Which is the better one to get? Wait for 9300 or not?

well, i did some study, and made following observations:

ADVANTAGE OF 9300:
very significant less size 'n weight
$120-170 less price
nice feature: screen swivells 180 deg flat.
(like a book)

DISADVANTAGE:
No 802.11b network
No Camera

MY REMARKS: I wish 9300 had 802.11b, i wouldn't care for camera, but I was really looking to use 9300 as my primary portable device, where i can browse internet without using my home network. Also these days when you check-in at hotels, they offer free wireless internet, but they charge you hefty otherwise.

Please contribute on your comments about 9300 benefit, thanks.

Instead of toying with these monster bricks, Nokia should update its 6820 series device with a more powerful Blackberry email client, Symbian and a bigger display, i.e. 160x160x65k.

Or make the 6820 device longer and go for the rectangular display format. Delete the camera and offer multiple battery packs to address users who want more battery life.

As for the 9300, over 150 grams sounds like history to me in Europe.
