Nokia 9500 reviewed: more of the same with some new problems

An early review of the Nokia 9500 by All About Symbian leads off by stating that the new clamshell PDA phone is really more of the same.  From a functionality standpoint, things remain similar to that of the 9210.  Setup was a breeze, taking only 30 seconds to transfer old data and get a WiFi connection going.  Nokia also improved the cellphone facet of the phone with a 65k, 128 x 128-pixel color screen.  On the downside, the SMS interface on the side doesn't include T-9 predictive text, you can't reply to emails (you have to open it up and go into PDA mode)
and the phone's pad controller annoyed reviewers with poor usability.  Evolution, not revolution, in this case at least.
