Despite all of the goodies, the QWERTY keyboard and the comprehensive messaging support, Nokia's 9300 Smartphone will never be, let's face it, the sort of thing you're going to see kids walking down the street texting their mates on. It's far too staid, boring and corporate for that. There's no camera, no fancy vibrating ringtones and with the clamshell shut it looks like a throwback to the corporate phones of three or four years ago.
So it's neither cool to look at, nor sleek and sexy and manages to feel rather old-fashioned but perhaps, after all, that's good thing. Because if what you're after is a mobile workstation that gives you web browsing, email, and phone capabilities in one device the 9300 provides it in an unfussy and usable package.
