[2] The 9500 is equipped with a 150 MHz Texas Instruments OMAP processor and 64 megabytes of SDRAM.

It has send and receive fax facilities (without scanner) and multi-account POP3/IMAP email client.

Built-in software includes a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation program, which are compatible with the Microsoft Office suite equivalents; also featured is an MP3 player.

The 9500 also runs Java ME applications, but some do not make full use of the unusually large and wide screen, so that many existing Java games will run, but only use the top left hand corner of the screen.

It supports storage on a Multimedia Card (MMC) of up to 2 GB (on later firmware versions).
