Nokia have just unveiled the first in a series of new enterprise-grade mobile devices designed for corporate customers. The new Nokia 9500 Communicator is one of the first cellular devices on the market designed to meet the demands of corporate IT departments for customization, manageability and security. The device is expected to be available in volume during the fourth quarter of 2004. The price (unsubsidized) of the Nokia 9500 Communicator is expected to be around €800 in Europe.

The 9500 features tri-band GSM capability (two variants: 900/1800/1900 MHz and 850/1800/1900 MHz), GPRS/EGPRS (EDGE), wireless LAN (802.11b), a built-in VGA camera for MMS messaging, Bluetooth for audio and data, USB for synchronization and J2ME. The device runs Symbian 7.0 as its operating system.

The latest Communicator is equipped with two colour screens, one running at 640 x 200 16-bit, displaying Nokia's Series 80 user interface. A second screen runs at 128 x 128 pixels and features the Series 40 interface. The device has 80 MB of memory for users.

Connectivity takes the form of an e-mail client supporting POP3, IMAP4, SMTP and SyncML, while browsing is possible via HTML / XHTML and JavaScript 1.3. Full security is present through SSL/TLS and Ipsec VPN. Documents in a range of popular formats can be viewed directly on the device.

Also unveiled were the Connectivity desk stand for convenient charging and synchronization with a compatible PC, the Mobile Holder, which firmly holds the Nokia 9500 communicator in place in the car, and the Antenna Coupler, which provides a connection to an external antenna. For personalization, optional color covers are expected to be available.
