Why are the 9300 and 9300i not considered Communicators? Please give a source for this assertion. --Hansh 17:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Nowhere are they referred to as 'Communicators' on the Nokia website or in any Nokia documentation. You can't really cite a reference for what something isn't, but something like [1] this might make the point? Wibbble 21:53, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification. It seems that Nokia only sometimes refers to it as a "smartphone" while almost everyone else just calls it a Communicator, since it 'looks' like one, but... ah well. Perhaps it is so that anyone looking for an actual Communicator would be compelled to buy a more expensive 9500. --Hansh 00:04, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it's anything as involved as that - there's been some weird marketing things at Nokia over the years. IIRC, the 9300i isn't significantly cheaper than the 9500 - it's essentially the same device, just without a camera (saves a little) and smaller (costs a lot). The new E90 is definitely branded as a communicator, though. Wibbble 23:54, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
