Nokia N91 4GB
Quick ViewThe Nokia N91 is a smartphone produced by Nokia as part of their Nseries line of portable devices. It was announced on April 27, 2005 along with N70 and N90 as the first three Nseries devices. The N91 ran on Symbian-based S60 3rd Edition (the first to run on Symbian 9.1). It was the first ever phone encompassing a 4 GB internal hard drive, allowing storage for 3,000 songs (an 8 GB revision came later). The N91 is highly focused on music, with dedicated music keys on the front which slide down to reveal the keypad. It also featured the industry-standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, and was anticipated as a major challenger to Apple, whose iPod dominated the industry. The design of the N91 is based on stainless steel with a matte finish. The N91 became one of 2005’s most anticipated phones, however it suffered from a long delay of release. It was expected to begin shipping by the end of 2005; but in September that year the device was delayed till 2006.In February 2006, it was delayed yet again due to software issues, pushing the release to Q2.Finally in April 2006 it was first released to consumers, a full year after announcement. Nevertheless, N91 won the ‘Most Innovative Product’ and ‘Most Technologically Advanced Product’ award in recognition of its true multimedia music experience, added together with its high-end smartphone capabilities.In advertisements for the phone, Nokia recommended Bose and Sennheiser headphones. Its sound output is considered by many to be of very high quality and very loud.

Nokia N91 4GB Prototype: B5.2 Asia Variant
Quick ViewNokia N91 – RM-158 Prototype (4GB, Asia Variant, B5.2 Hardware)
This device is a genuine Nokia N91 4GB prototype, built on the RM-158 platform-a development variant created specifically for the Asia/APAC market. Unlike the standard eur;opean N91 4GB (RM-43), this pre-production unit showcases a different internal hardware configuration, unique labeling, and a regional color scheme that never appeared on global retail models.
Marked clearly with “PROTO B5.2 – NOT FOR SALE” and manufactured in Finland, this unit represents an early engineering build used by Nokia during the final testing stages of the Asia-market N91. The RM-158 board differs from RM-43 through its regional firmware branches, radio configuration, and production-specific tuning, making this prototype significantly rarer than any retail device.
Its exterior features the Asia-exclusive color variant, a darker, metallic finish paired with a distinct keypad shade-used only in APAC commercial releases but extremely scarce worldwide. In prototype form, the materials, texture, and finish differ subtly from production units, highlighting the transitional stage between engineering samples and final mass manufacturing.
With full prototype identifiers, pre-market barcodes, engineering hardware codes, and its unusual combination of Asia-market aesthetics with Finnish factory proto build, this RM-158 N91 stands as a prime collectible from Nokia’s golden era.
Perfect for collectors seeking regional hardware variations, early-stage engineering units, and rare prototype-only configurations.

Nokia N91 8GB Prototype B4.0: Made in USA | Unreleased white white Camera Cover and silver keypad
Quick ViewNokia N91 8GB – RM-43 – Prototype B4.0 – Made in USA – Unique White Camera Cover
This is a highly significant Nokia N91 8GB engineering prototype, built during Nokia’s internal development cycle and never intended for commercial release. The label identifies it as PROTO B4.0, a late-stage pre-production unit, but the hardware reveals something even more remarkable: a white camera cover, a part that was never used in production N91 or N91 8GB units.
All retail models featured a dark grey/black camera bezel, but this prototype houses a white pre-final CMF component – a rare internal test part used before Nokia approved the final color and material selection. Early tooling marks, alternate finishing, and non-standard coloration make this one of the only known N91 prototypes with this configuration.
Unlike mass-produced units manufactured in Finland or Germany, this device also carries the exceptionally rare “Made in USA” marking, confirming its role as a high-level engineering sample assembled for internal testing and hardware validation. The model field reads “XXXX”, and multiple internal codes differ from final production, reinforcing its early-preproduction status.
As the world’s first smartphone with an integrated 8GB micro-hard-drive, the N91 was born from bold experimentation – and this prototype embodies exactly that phase of innovation. With its unique white camera cover, U.S.-assembled chassis, RM-43 pre-production hardware, and B4.0 revision status, this unit stands as a near-one-of-a-kind artifact from Nokia’s golden age.

Nokia N93i
Quick ViewThe Nokia N93i features a 3.2-megapixel camera, Carl Zeiss optics, 3x optical zoom and digital video stabilization. The ability to create “DVD-like videos” at 30 frames per second with MPEG4 technology and share them on the 2.4-inch display. The Nokia N93i can be connected to a compatible TV using direct TV out connectivity or via Wireless LAN and UPnP technology. The N93i also features a digital stereo microphone, music player and FM stereo radio, dual mode WCDMA/GSM and triband GSM coverage on up to five continents (EDGE/GSM 900/1800/1900 + WCDMA 2100 MHz networks).An N93i is seen in the 2007 movie, Transformers. It is the device used to demonstrate the AllSpark’s capability of turning any electronic device into a living robot. This phone turned out to be a Decepticon tiny but deadly robot.
The N93i used a different marketing strategy by incorporating Dallas based punk rock band Greyskull in its APAC campaign. Running an on-line competition in which contestants could submit their own videos to the band’s songs. Ads featuring the band Greyskull were run in newspapers and commercials on MTV Asia.
During the 2007 Cannes Lions Advertising Festival, camera crews using Nokia N93i devices tagged along with the Young Creative Film Competitors on their 48-hour mission to shoot a 30-second commercial, also using the Nokia N93i, for MTV SWITCH, a campaign from MTV Networks International designed to educate and encourage alternative options to help save the planet. With 40 hours of content filmed on the Nokia N93i, the footage was edited into an exclusive behind the scenes documentary, “Short Film Shootout: Cannes”, which was available for broadcast on MTV’s 61 TV channels across 161 countries on 20 December 2007.

Nokia N93i Piano Black | The Elusive Asian Edition
Quick ViewNokia N93i Piano Black – The Elusive Asian Edition
Introduced in early 2007, the Nokia N93i represented one of Nokia’s most ambitious creations, combining a unique rotating display, advanced imaging capabilities and a design unlike almost anything else on the market. While the silver version became the familiar face of the N93i, the elusive Piano Black variant tells a much more exclusive story.
Associated with the Asian market and rarely encountered compared to its silver counterpart, this striking black edition transforms the character of the device. Its deep, glossy finish gives the N93i a sophisticated, almost executive appearance, making it one of the most desirable visual variations of Nokia’s iconic multimedia flagship.
What makes this particular unit even more remarkable is its internal call timer, displaying exactly 0 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds. Although this alone cannot conclusively prove that a device has never been used, it is an exceptional detail for a surviving handset of this age and adds significantly to its appeal as a collector’s piece.
With its distinctive finish, uncommon market positioning and remarkably preserved usage record, this unit captures a fascinating chapter of Nokia’s golden era, when mobile phone design was bold, experimental and instantly recognizable.
Not simply another N93i – an elusive black interpretation of one of Nokia’s most extraordinary creations.

Nokia N93i Prototype B3 | The N00 Mystery
Quick ViewNokia N93i B3 Prototype – The N00 Enigma
Before the Nokia N93i became one of the most recognizable multimedia flagships of 2007, it existed behind closed doors as an experimental device, undergoing the development and validation stages that would eventually shape the final commercial product.
This extraordinary unit is a B3-stage pre-production prototype, but what makes it particularly fascinating is the mysterious “N00” inscription on its front housing, replacing the familiar N93i model designation. A remarkable detail that immediately distinguishes it from standard retail units and offers a rare glimpse into Nokia’s internal development world.
Unlike a conventional production handset, this prototype carries visible evidence of its unfinished identity. The unusual N00 marking raises intriguing questions about the naming, identification and design decisions made during development. Whether it served as a temporary placeholder or an internal identification convention remains undocumented, adding an element of mystery to an already exceptional device.
For collectors, prototype stage markings and physical differences from commercial models are particularly compelling, as they preserve evidence of a device’s evolution. The combination of its B3 development status and unconventional front housing makes this unit a fascinating survivor from one of Nokia’s most innovative periods.
Before it was an N93i, this one carried another name: N00. A small inscription, an extraordinary piece of Nokia history.

Sony Ericsson P1i
Quick Viewhe 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).
