Review: Nokia 9300

"The 9300's physical dimensions may be a bit discouraging to some, as it's not too pocket friendly. At 2" x 5 1/8" x 3/4" with a weight of 5.9 ounces, the 9300 is has a nice heft to it and a size that makes the candy bar design hard to miss. On the downside, it might not be able to fit easily into pockets, as its stature limits the 9300 from becoming one of those slim handsets that can blend into the smallest of places. If you're looking for a phone that you won't notice while it's in your pocket, this may not be the best choice. It is, however, a solid device that never gives you the impression that it might break if mistreated. After an accidental drop or two, the phone didn't have a scratch on it and didn't suffer from any performance degradation. Ameliorating the size issue further, the 9300's diverse functionality makes it worth carrying around, and the demographic that the 9300 is aimed at will probably have a case or bag to throw the phone into. Functionality comes at a cost, however, and the phone comes with a hefty $499.99 price tag, making it one of the higher priced cell phones on the market. Savvy consumers can keep an eye out for various manufacturer and service provider rebates, however, and can find the phone for as little as $99.99....
