Nokia on Wednesday announced the availability of the Nokia 9300 Smartphone in India. The new Nokia 9300 Smartphone could cost between Rs 33,000 and Rs 37,000.

The phone has voice and data capabilities and is an ideal all-in-one device for users, regardless of work or lifestyle.

The smartphone has good voice functionality when compared to most mobile devices that combine PDA features and a mobile phone.

"The Nokia 9300 will appeal to a wide range of professionals who want powerful functionality from a data-enabled device without compromising the look, comfort, simplicity and usability of a standard mobile phone," said Sanjeev Sharma, Managing Director, Nokia India, in a media release.

The Nokia 9300 features one-touch access to personal information and office applications through eight dedicated function buttons on the device's integrated keyboard. A five-way joystick allows users to easily navigate menus to find the features and functions they need to quickly accomplish tasks and find information when on the move.
