| muy's Full Review: Nokia 9000il Cell Phone |
Yup, it's got computer/PDA features (document creation, scheduling and alarms, to do list). You can synchronize easily with your computer.
Yup, it's got Internet access and fax *without needing to hook up a laptop, and with graphics enabled or user-disabled. You can get your POP3 email here or download web pages for offline viewing.
Yup, it's a full-featured cell phone too, with caller ID, integrated address book, call forwarding, and speakerphone (just open the lid).
The best thing about this phone, besides all its functionality in one unit is the keyboard -- I'm not a big fan of handwriting recognition.
The worse thing about this phone, besides its weight and size, is that it only works with a few service providers. In NY, it only works with Omnipoint, and they are just fixing my data service so I can surf online. I also wish that it had Windows CE or Palm as the operating system, so there'd be more games and software available for the machine, but the items available for the Nokia9000 are still good: chess games, spreadsheet software, and mini Quicken-like financial software (you'll have to purchase these separately, though). The text documents and address book can also be imported and exported using standard file formats.
This is the only phone I found of its type with a keyboard and service in NYC. New similar hybrid phones are expected to come out later this year, but they probably won't have the keyboard feature, due to the amount of space it takes up. If you're looking to buy a new phone, have $700 to spend on it, and want the most high-tech features you can get, check this out!
