Like all Communicators, the 9500 is equipped with two screens - large PDA screen inside and small phone screen outside.
The bottom part of the phone is occupied by the PopPort (accessories and USB), Infrared port and charger connector.
Unfortunately, there is no hole in it which means that although hot-swappable, the MMC card is not as easily accessible as it should be.
The back side of the device mainly consists of a huge cover that provides access to the battery, SIM card and memory card.
The ribbon is now hidden from the outside and only visible from the inside, which should provide additional protection.
9500 suppors exchangeable phone covers - it is enough to press a small button located above the PopPort to release the entire front face along with the keypad.
The 9500 looks much more modern than the 9200, mainly because of its slightly streamlined edges and 'facelifted' phone part.
