Nokia’s Wi-Fi Girly Phone
Techworld's Nicolas Callegari offers an extremely entertaining review of Nokia's new 9300i Communicator.
The nokia 9300i, Callegari writes, is basically a new version of the Nokia 9300, with the addition of Wi-Fi connectivity as a standard feature. It includes Wi-Fi 802.11g and a hotspot finder, but Callegari says the 9300i's Wi-Fi reception is unimpressive compared to that of a Wi-Fi-enabled notebook.
More importantly, Callegari says, he considers the Nokia 9300 series phones to be "ladies' phones, based purely on the size and curves of the phone (almost as you would describe a Peugeot 206 as being a lady's car)." He says he'd prefer to have the larger 9500 phone because of its "manly appeal."
Now I have to wonder: is the Treo 650 in my pocket a "manly" phone… or not?
