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. In addition to the software applications provided by Nokia, a large range of 3rd party software is available; many programs written for older Nokia Communicators are compatible with the 9500 and new software can be written in C++ or OPL.

The 9500 will also run Java ME applications but some of these are not compatible with the unusually large and wide screen, such that many existing Java games will run, but only use the top left hand corner of the screen. It also supports a 2 GB Memory Card.
