However critics had negative views on the N96’s battery life and user-unfriendlyness and its downgraded CPU clock speed raised questions.It was one of 2008’s most anticipated mobile phones, but its launch was delayed and was only widely available from October 2008.It is thus considered to have been a commercial failure.Critics felt that the Nokia N85 provided more new additions compared to the N96 for much cheaper.📝 Reviews when released: Mobile Review 🔗

Samsung p510
Quick View💎 Rarity Index: C (Common)
⭐ WOW Factor: Auto-opening and close feature for the clamshell
👁 Evaluation in my collection: Good – 9/10
⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: NO
📅 Release Year: 2004 | 💰 Release Price: ~400 $
📊 Units Sold: ~700k
📰 Why this phone matters: The first thing you’ll notice about the P510 is that it has an auto-opening feature for the ultra-lazy. A press of the side button and the phone will open and close automatically, through a smooth motor driven action. While such automation may seem twee, until you have experienced the sweet sound the motor makes, or felt the adoration of inspired onlookers, you shouldn’t be too hasty to write it off as a novelty gimmick.📝 Reviews when released: Mobile Review 🔗

Sony CMD-Z5
Quick View💎 Rarity Index: B (Uncommon)
👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9/10
⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: YES
📅 Release Year: 2000 | 💰 Release Price: N/A
📊 Units Sold: ~500k
📰 Why this phone matters: ake the cute-as-a-button Sony CMD-Z5, for example. Released in 2000 at a time when the idea of a phone having a colour screen was the stuff of a madman’s dreams, this sleek and pocket-sized blower looked truly amazing; it was a desirable piece of tech which could fit snugly in the palm of your hand.Sure, the 96×72 pixel monochrome screen looks crude by modern standards, but at the time it was pin-sharp compared to the competition, and was even capable of hosting some decent games thanks to the inclusion of Sony’s unique ‘Jog-Dial’ wheel on the side of the phone; we spent many a happy bus trip playing the bundled fishing and clay pigeon shooting games. The Jog-Dial could also be used to navigate the phone’s carousel-style menu system.
Released just before Sony joined forces with communications giant Ericsson to create the Sony Ericsson brand, the CMD-Z5 – and its successor, the Z7 – have all the hallmarks of phones designed to fulfil a singular purpose, rather than cater for a wide range of functions.

📅 Release Year: 2007 | 💰 Release Price: 130 €
📊 Units Sold: ~1M
📰 Why this phone matters: he Sony Ericsson P1 is a smartphone and the successor of the P990. It was the last of the Sony Ericsson “P” Smartphone series, introduced in 2002 with the Sony Ericsson P800 and it integrates many of the hardware features of its predecessor the P990 in the form factor of the M600. It was announced on 8 May 2007. There is a Chinese version of P1 called P1c. Compare with P1/ P1i, P1c lacks of 3G, thereby using EDGE which is much slower but more available especially in the US and parts of eur;ope.The phone uses the UIQ 3.0 software platform, which is based upon Symbian OS 9.1. It is slightly thicker than the M600 as a result of the new hardware features, but this is reportedly largely indiscernible. It is nonetheless considerably thinner than the P990 (25% smaller – as the official press review states).
