Nokia today announced the 9500, its latest Symbian-based smartphone to use the company's Series 80 platform. The 9500 features the same sideways-clamshell design as previous models in the 9000 series, including a wide main display and QWERTY keyboard. New features include EDGE high-speed data, 802.11b wi-fi, Bluetooth, and a VGA camera. 80 MB of internal memory can be expanded via a hot-swappable MMC card slot. A large, 65,000-color external display, combined with a Series 40 interface and an external keypad, allow access to basic phone functions while the device is closed. The 9500 will be available globally in the 4th quarter, with tri-band GSM versions available for both Europe/Asia and the Americas.
