    📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia 6630 is a 3G smartphone announced by Nokia on 14 June 2004 and released in November.It runs on Symbian OS 8.0a (Series 60 2nd Edition FP2). Codenamed Charlie during development, it is an evolution of the 6600 and 6620 smartphones, supporting tri-band GSM (run on lower operating systems).
    The Nokia 6630 is the first phone ever that allows truly global roaming; previously GSM phones have had near-global coverage except in Japan where 2G phone standards were different. The 6630 automatically uses the W-CDMA network in Japan. Nokia 6650 and 7600 were also able to function in Japan, but they did not support GSM 1900, often needed in the United States and Canada (the Nokia 6651 has the GSM 1900).
    Nokia says the Nokia 6630 is the first dual-mode, tri-band handset designed to work on 3G (WCDMA), EDGE and 2G networks in eur;ope, Asia and the Americas.

  • Nokia 6650 Prototype B1 6.2 : The lost first Nokia’s 3G Phone | Unreleased Black and Blue Colour

    💎 Rarity Index: X (Mystical Prototype)

    ⭐ WOW Factor: The first Nokia 3G phone

    ⏱ Life timer: 2m | 📦 Boxed: NO

    📊 Units Sold: 100k (final units)


    📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia 6650 Prototype B1 6.2 represents one of the most important and fragile transition moments in Nokia history. This device is not just an early unit, but a full internal engineering prototype that captures the very first attempt to bring 3G technology into a classic Nokia candybar form factor.

    An engineering device, not a consumer phone

    The rear label clearly identifies this unit as Nokia internal property, explicitly marked PROTO and Made in Finland. The device uses a placeholder model designation XXXX, a standard practice for Nokia engineering hardware that was never approved for commercial sale. Hardware identifiers such as B1.6.2 and HWID 4122 place this unit deep inside Nokia internal testing cycles, well before mass production validation.

    These labels were never meant to survive outside Nokia labs. Their presence confirms this phone was used strictly for internal testing, radio validation, and early software integration rather than marketing or carrier trials.

    The unreleased early design language

    This prototype showcases design elements that never reached the market. The blue front cover was never commercially released, while the black rear housing with its distinctive camera ornament remains completely unique to early prototype builds. When the Nokia 6650 eventually launched, it appeared only in a dark green colorway for both front and back, making this blue and black combination a lost design direction.

    The body shape, materials, and external antenna confirm this device as the final Nokia candybar with an external antenna, closing an entire design era.

    Early software and version identity

    The software screen reveals version Vp1.301 dated 30-09-02, running on platform NHM-1 with PRI P1.1. This places the firmware only days after the official unveiling of the Nokia 6650 on 26 September 2002. The Vp prefix identifies a prototype firmware branch, used internally before public release software was finalized.

    This version is not a commercial build and was never distributed outside Nokia engineering teams. It represents an unstable development snapshot used for functional validation rather than end user experience.

    The startup warning and the two minute limitation

    On boot, the phone displays a rare internal warning message stating that this is a Nokia prototype intended only for testing use, and that the software must be updated by the end of November 2002. This message is exceptionally rare and confirms the temporary nature of the firmware installed on the device.

    Additionally, this prototype is restricted to a two minute operational window, a known internal safeguard used by Nokia to prevent prolonged use of unfinished hardware outside controlled environments. This limitation reinforces the fact that this unit was never meant to operate as a normal phone.

    Why it truly matters

    This prototype is the missing link between Nokias 2G legacy and its first step into the 3G world. It captures an unreleased design, unfinished software, and internal safeguards that almost never survive. More than a phone, it is a frozen engineering moment, documenting how Nokia experimented, tested, and iterated before rewriting its own future.

    📅 Release Year: 2002 | 💰 Release Price: ~500 €

    📊 Units Sold: ~1M


    📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia 6800 series are a selection of Nokia Series 68 phones with an unusual fold-out QWERTY keyboard. This type of keyboard is also used in the more recent Nokia Series 60 Symbian-based Nokia E70. These phones were marketed as “messaging devices”: all had built-in email clients, and some had BlackBerry support.
    The 6800 and 6810 had four electrical contacts at the very top of the phone for the left side of the keyboard and another four just under the screen for when the regular 12-key numeric keypad was being used. A small magnet was built into the left side of the keyboard and the phones would switch to landscape mode as soon as this was lifted up. The 6800 was the first in the series and was a dual-band GSM 900/1800 phone with support for GPRS. The 6800 had an FM radio tuner and 5MB of memory. It was announced on 4 November 2002.

  • Nokia 7100 Supernova

    💎 Rarity Index: C (Common)

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9.5/10

    ⏱ Life timer: 14h | 📦 Boxed: NO

    📅 Release Year: 2008 | 💰 Release Price: ~100 £

    📊 Units Sold: ~2M


    📰 Why this phone matters: The 7100 is a slider with a mechanism that thunks nicely and feels solid enough to remain reliable over time. The numberpad, revealed when the slide is up, comprises large-ish buttons with a no frills design. Each button is slightly raised in its centre making it easy to find and hit. With the slide closed this isn’t quite as small as I generally like slider phones to be. It is a bit tall at 98mm. However, its 48.4mm of width and 15mm of thickness are OK. With the slide opened the 7100 is 125mm tall and as for weight, it tips the scales at 103.5g.

    The casing is made of plastic, which might not stand too many drops down the stairs or crunches in a bag. As for its colour scheme, the 7100 looks designed to appeal to a young and bling-friendly audience. The front fascia is mostly black with, in the case of my review sample, a flash of bright metallic pink sitting below the screen. The back of the casing is also pink. Nokia calls this colour ‘jelly red’ but it looks pink to me. You can also get it in a rather nice shade of blue as well as an almost all black guise with just a flash of blue round the navi button.

    The colour splash is where you’ll find the two softkeys and Call and End keys, the latter doubling as the main on/off switch. The navi button is large and its frame is also sizeable. I’d say even those with really stubby fingers should be able to get around this handset fine.

  • 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

    📊 Units Sold: ~1M


    📰 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.
