__I__nstead of carrying a cell phone, a PalmPilot, and a laptop computer, just slip a Nokia 9000i Communicator into your coat pocket. From the outside, the 9000i looks like a slightly oversize wireless phone. But pop the cover and you'll find a full QWERTY keyboard, 16 special-function keys, and a very readable bitmap display. All in just 14 ounces!
Like a Pilot, the 9000i has a full address book and calendar built in, with 8 Mbytes of memory. But unlike the Pilot, the 9000i allows you to find the name, press Call, and talk to the person without added effort. The 9000i's Web browser supports SSL encryption, and its email client can check both POP and IMAP mailboxes.
Inevitably, the phone has some problems. The antenna can't be retracted, the battery generally lasts only half a day, and the match-book-sized charging adapter is small enough to lose.
