  📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia 6110 is one of the most important business phones Nokia ever created, introducing technologies and design elements that shaped the brand for years to come. Released in 1998, it delivered a series of major milestones that defined the next decade of Nokia devices. It was the first chameleon color phone in the world, the first Nokia with IR, the first Nokia with Series 20 icon UI, the first Nokia with Snake, and the first Nokia with an ARM processor. No other Nokia model combined this many industry firsts at once.

  This chameleon color unit is especially significant. Its color-shifting shell, changing tone depending on lighting and angle, was a world first and made the 6110 stand out immediately in the late 1990s market. These iridescent shells were produced in much smaller quantities than standard colors, and finding a brand new example today is extremely rare. This unit shows the 6110 exactly as Nokia intended, with unmistakable visual character and a premium finish unique to this early business classic.

  Built on the same hardware platform as the consumer-focused Nokia 5110 but enhanced for business users, the 6110 introduced a new icon-driven Series 20 interface that became the foundation for future Nokia UI design. Its ARM processor improved performance, while the infrared port enabled early wireless data transfer long before Bluetooth became standard. Snake, preinstalled for the first time on this model, would go on to become one of the most iconic mobile games ever created.

  The 6110 offered reduced size, better talk time, strong GSM reception, and a professional design that aligned with the growing business mobile market. It also represented the beginning of the 6xxx series, which would become one of Nokia’s most respected and longest-running product families.

  With its world first chameleon housing and an unmatched combination of technological milestones, this brand new Nokia 6110 stands as an exceptional collector-grade example and a key piece of mobile phone history. It represents the moment Nokia transitioned from early GSM devices into the modern mobile era and set the standards for design, interface, and connectivity for years to come.

  Nokia 6110: The D2 Platinum Business Classic

  💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)

  📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia 6110 D2 Platinum Edition is a rare and visually distinctive version of one of Nokias most influential business phones. Released in 1998 for the German D2 network, this variant features a premium grey metallic shell and regional branding, giving it a refined and professional appearance that stands out from the standard colors.

  The 6110 platform itself represents a major turning point in Nokia history. It introduced an exceptional list of industry firsts: the first chameleon color phone in the world, the first Nokia with IR, the first Nokia with Series 20 icon UI, the first Nokia with Snake, and the first Nokia with an ARM processor. No earlier Nokia model combined this many breakthroughs at once. Although the Platinum Edition uses a metallic grey shell rather than the chameleon finish, it fully inherits the technological importance of the 6110 platform.

  As a business-targeted model, the 6110 delivered improved talk time, reduced size, stronger performance and a more advanced interface compared to earlier generations like the 2110. Its infrared port enabled early wireless data transfers years before Bluetooth became standard, and the Series 20 icon-driven UI laid the groundwork for future Nokia user interfaces for many years to come.

  The D2 Platinum Edition is significantly rarer than regular 6110 units. It was produced in smaller quantities, distributed mainly within the German business market, and most units were heavily used, making clean surviving examples uncommon today. Its metallic finish, regional branding and connection to the earliest era of Nokia business innovation make it a desirable collectible piece.

  The Nokia 6110 D2 Platinum Edition remains a core part of Nokias late-1990s business evolution, offering a unique combination of premium styling, regional exclusivity and historical significance tied to one of the most important mobile platforms ever created.

  📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia 6310i is a mobile phone from Nokia first introduced at the CeBIT fair in March 2002 with sales starting later that year and discontinued in late 2005, it was Nokia’s first tri-band phone offering (GSM 900/1800/1900). Primarily marketed as a business phone it was for some years the dominant GSM device in the corporate world. The device was most commonly offered in Two-tone Silver/Grey or Two-tone Gold/Black trim; the third option, a Copper coloured variant, was much rarer.The model is basically the same as the earlier 6310 from 2001, with the addition of tri-band reception, Java and a blue-backlit LCD Screen (as opposed to the earlier green backlighting). The 6310 itself replaced the 6210 from 2000, preceded by the 6150 (1998) and 6110 (1997). Accessories (such as batteries) can generally be swapped between all these models.This phone has been (and still is)very popular for its robustness, simplicity and long battery life years after being discontinued as a product.Many have called the 6310i one of the best handsets Nokia ever produced.

  Nokia 7110

  💎 Rarity Index: C (Common)

  ⭐ WOW Factor: The first GSM phone to implement the T9 Predictive text input method for composing SMS messages

  👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9/10

  ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: NO

  📅 Release Year: 1999 | 💰 Release Price: N/A

  📰 Why this phone matters: The 7110 was Nokia’s second handset with a sliding cover that could be used to answer and terminate voice calls. As with the 8110 before, with the cover deployed, the microphone was brought closer to the user’s mouth, improving the clarity of the voice reception. New to the 7110 was a spring-powered release mechanism, which would release the cover when a small metal catch on the rear of the handset was depressed. The cover could also be opened manually .
  Connectivity is provided via a standard IrDA transceiver on the top edge of the handset. A serial cable can also be attached to the handset’s expansion terminal, to allow synchronization of the phone’s contents, and to allow the phone to function as a Modem. Data capabilities are limited to circuit switched data; GPRS was not available on this handset. The WAP mini-browser established a connection to the internet using CSD.
  The navi-roller was used in place of the familiar up and down buttons, allowing the user to rapidly scroll through lists of options; depressing the roller selected the currently highlighted option.
  The 7110 was the first cellular phone to implement the T9 Predictive text input method for composing SMS messages, but the 3210 was the first phone to combine both T9 and internal antenna.
  Contrary to popular myth, though the Nokia 7110 does feature a spring-loaded cover concealing the keypad; this is not the model featured in the first Matrix movie, which is the Nokia 8110 (made three years prior), which was adapted with a spring mechanism to feature in the 1999 film.
