Nokia 9300 Communicator for Consumers
Cingular finally let the cat out of the bag for consumers, the Nokia 9300 is old news for business users.
I personally don’t see “consumers” wanting to rush and buy this phone, especially now when there are so many sweet Windows Mobile devices on the horizon.
However, the phone is expandable to 2GB, which is a winner for media and documents. The phone is a bit heavy by todays standards coming in at 167g
Today’s Late News and a Personal Message
First, let me say at BigBerries, we don’t change the date on our news. If we don’t post news for a day, we don’t come back later and make it seem like there was some news for that day.
Heck, sometimes you have to sleep, go outside, eat, let people know you’re alive, etc, etc..
Also we show the source where we get the news not some other site we prefer, so whether we like you personally, or if we don’t like you, popular site or not, if you’re the source, you’re the source.
Ha! I see you! Don’t make me throw up video screen shots!
In the words of Sam Cooke “A change is gone come,” so go along with it, there’s room.
Now on with some news, which is of course late.
Spoke with an employee, yesterday at Cingular, who said RAZR phones should be coming during the week. Of course you all have heard it by now as it’s been made official. Engadget last I know (11:43Pm) is still showing it out of stock until April Should have went with my gut and posted it but, oh well.
You want more than that? Check Yahoo! for details.
Well, I’ve got 15 minutes before the day is over and this post is long enough. Gotta go cram!
