Nokia today expanded their business solutions with the release of their 9300i handset, incorporating a full QWERTY keyboard and WLAN connectivity.

Nokia’s 9300i smartphone supports E-GPRS (EDGE) and WLAN 802.11g for versatility in any network environment. BlackBerry Connect, Nokia Business Center, IBM WebSphere, Oracle Collaboration Suite, Seven Always-On Mail and Visto Mobile email clients are supported.

Infrared and Bluetooth capabilities are integrated, 80MB of internal memory is supplied, with a maximum of 2GB added through MMC.

No price is set on the 9300i, the plain old 9300 sells for US $300, it will be available in Q1 2006 for Europe and Asia. The Americas are supported because of it’s tri-band (900/1800/1900 MHz) antenna, but no release of the device here is planned. Cingular already carries the 9300, but with no WLAN support.
