First Nokia Phone: Nokia Mobira Talkman
The first of Nokia’s mobile phones was a car phone produced by its Mobira partnership with TV-maker Salora. It was available on the world’s first roaming international mobile phone network called the Nordic Mobile Telephone service set up by Mobira. -
Nokia Cityman
Made famous by Russian president Mikhail Gorbachev, who was caught on film speaking into a Nokia Cityman in 1989 while in Helsinki, Finland. -
Nokia 9000 Communicator
The world’s first smartphone, with flip-open screen and full keypad. It was huge by late 90s phone standards but was a sign of things to come. -
Nokia 6110
The first of the business-focused 6000 series, the Nokia 6110 was the first GSM phone to use an ARM processor and the first to use the Nokia icon-based menu. -
Nokia 5110
The consumer version of the 6110, the 5110 was rugged, lasted ages between charges and had a replaceable faceplate. Oh, and it was one of the first handsets to come with a little game known as Snake. -
Nokia 7110
The 7110 was notable for a couple of reasons: it was the first Series 40 phone, had a WAP browser and a navi-roller bar thing, and it was the first mobile phone with T9 predictive text input. Before the 7110, SMS messages had to be bashed out using multi-tap only. It wasn’t the Matrix phone – that was the 8110 – but it looked like it and the spring-loaded slider seemed exciting. -
Nokia 6800
Texting was big by the late 90s and early 2000s, but how do you combine a traditional phone form factor with a full thumb board? Make the keyboard fold out on a central hinge, putting the screen in the middle of two sides of a thumb board, of course. -
Nokia 7280
Another attempt at an interesting form factor, the 7280 was known as the ‘lipstick phone’ because it was about the size of a large stick and the end slid out. It didn’t even have a keypad, relying on a rotary selector pad. -
Nokia Lumia 800
The first of Nokia’s Windows Phones, the Lumia 800 took the basic design of the MeeGo-based N9 and installed Windows Phone 7.5 on it. It had a 3.7in screen and 8-megapixel camera. -
Nokia 6
The Nokia 6 is the newest Nokia phone to be produced by the phone company although it is yet to be released. Rumours say that it will be released at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona early next year. Features include: 5.5” bright full-HD display;
Immersive sound with Dolby Atmos;
16 MP camera
