My Nokia 9300i Communicator has been replaced by a newer communicator model – Nokia E90.  I have not tested nor checked yet other brands that are comparable to Nokia’s communicators.  But, I think communicators have been very useful to me – both personal and official, especially when I am on the go.


Here are the features that I like most about communicators:

1. Ability to access the internet from the unit directly from the network’s internet or through Wi-fi.
2. Can be used as a modem when connected to the laptop or desktop.
3. Ability to send and receive facsimile
4. Ability to send and receive email via Blacberry
5. As a mini computer, it has Quick Office – Quickword(word processor), Quicksheet (spreadsheet), Quickpoint (presentation), which are convertible to Microsoft Office.
6. The QWERTY Key or Thumbboard, where you can type your messages easily.
7. Synchronization of Contacts, Calendars, Notes, and Emails with Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express.
8. The files and messages can be managed from the laptop or desktop
9. Sending of text message can be scheduled
10. Call Conference.   
    

E90 has additional features – camera,video, radio, additional My Own key.

I am still exploring my new phone for its new features and the variations of its operations from the 9300i.

congrats on the new phone! :) got mine also a few days ago. How do you EXACTLY use it as a modem. Been trying to figure that out and I cant seem to. Thanks. Email me pleae :):)
