Nokia 9300 Outperforms Treo 700W and Blackberry 8700c

While Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Treo 700W was rated highest for style and design, and Blackberry 8700c scored particularly well in terms of handset size, Strategy Analytics’ latest converged device benchmark report finds Nokia 9300 the best overall device.

Strong user ratings for the feature applications, menu/user interface and input of the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) 9300 gave it the edge over its competitors, including a 7 point advantage over the Windows Mobile based devices for application usability. However, the 9300 rated low for perceived style appeal, and participants who weren’t familiar with BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) in the first place struggled with the learning curve of the 8700c.
