Nokia have just unveiled the first in a series of new enterprise-grade mobile devices designed for corporate customers.

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.
