The 10 Most Iconic Nokia Phones of All Time | Infosate
Share
There are phones that have sold millions of units, and then there are Nokias. In the 90s and 2000s, the Finnish brand dominated the mobile phone world with devices that were simultaneously communication tools, design objects, and cultural symbols. Here are the 10 Nokia models that made history.
1. Nokia 3310 — the world's most famous phone
Launched in 2000, the Nokia 3310 sold over 126 million units worldwide. Rock-solid, battery that lasted for days, Snake included. It wasn't the most sophisticated, but it was the most loved — and still is today. Anyone who lived through the 2000s either had one or wanted one.
2. Nokia 8210 — small, light, irresistible
The 1999 Nokia 8210 was everything a phone needed to be at that time: tiny, super light, and beautiful. Interchangeable colored covers made it customizable — every kid had a different one. Even today, it's one of the most aesthetically pleasing Nokias.
3. Nokia 6310i — the manager's phone
Launched in 2002, the 6310i was the professionals' phone. Sober and elegant metal design, integrated Bluetooth, exceptional battery life. It was the phone seen in the hands of CEOs and lawyers. Many still consider it the most successful Nokia ever.
4. Nokia 3210 — the first without an external antenna
The 1999 Nokia 3210 was revolutionary for a simple reason: it was the first Nokia without an external antenna. A detail that seems trivial today but felt like science fiction at the time. It sold over 160 million units — more than the 3310.
5. Nokia 7110 — the first with WAP and a scroll wheel
The 1999 Nokia 7110 is famous for two things: the scroll wheel that opened the phone with a spectacular gesture and WAP support — the first attempt at mobile internet. Futuristic design inspired by Matrix and an eye-catching opening mechanism.
6. Nokia 8850 — luxury in metal
The 1999 Nokia 8850 was the ultimate luxury phone. Chrome metal casing, ultra-slim design, and a very elegant sliding mechanism. It cost twice as much as other Nokias, but those who had it showed it off with pride. Today, it's one of the most prized collector's items.
7. Nokia 9210i Communicator — the ancestor of the smartphone
The 2002 Nokia 9210i was years ahead of its time. When opened, it revealed a color display and a full QWERTY keyboard — email, Office, internet browser. It was a smartphone before the word smartphone existed. Using it in 2002 meant living in the future.
8. Nokia 6600 — the first mass-market smartphone
The 2003 Nokia 6600 was the first Nokia smartphone to achieve true popular success. Unmistakable oval design, Symbian, integrated camera, ability to install applications. In Italy, it was the coolest phone par excellence in 2003-2004.
9. Nokia E90 Communicator — the final masterpiece
The 2007 Nokia E90 is the absolute pinnacle of the Communicator series. On the outside, a normal candy bar, but when opened, it revealed a 4-inch widescreen display and a full QWERTY keyboard. 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3.2-megapixel camera. Every professional's dream.
10. Nokia 8310 — timeless elegance
The 2001 Nokia 8310 is perhaps the most elegant Nokia ever produced. Very compact, with an integrated FM radio — one of the first on a mobile phone — and a refined design that would still look good today. Part of the premium 8000 series, it was a status symbol as well as a phone.
