  📰 Why this phone matters: Nokia 8148i is a variant of Nokia 8110 and it only works on GSM 1800.

  Nokia 8110 is a mobile phone released in 1996. It was announced on September 9, 1996 as the first of Nokia’s high-end 8000 series of phones.Its distinctive styling was the first example of a ‘slider’ form factor. A sliding cover protected the keypad when being carried in the pocket and extended downwards in use, bringing the microphone closer to the mouth.The action of opening the cover also answered an incoming call. The prominent curvature of the case, particularly when open, earned it the nickname “banana phone”. It was also the first Nokia phone with monochrome graphic LCD.
  The phone was designed for the business market and was one of the smallest and lightest (152 grams) phones on the market, but still had better battery life than its predecessor Nokia 2110.
  The improved 8110i model, announced in March 1997, was the first phone with the SSMS (Smart SMS) engine.The handsets could be updated OTA (Over The Air) with an intelligent menu structure, which allowed simple information input, input which was sent through a simple structured text message to an MT receiver. This station could interpret information and a structured text message back to the handset. Ring tone receiving by SMS was also part of the smart messaging protocol, so 8110i was also the first mobile phone to support it. Nokia later stopped marketing Smart messaging and concentrated on the upcoming WAP standard, but has not dropped smart messaging support from later phones. Both models were succeeded by Nokia 8810 in 1998.
  The phone was famously featured in the science fiction action film The Matrix (1999), for which it was modified featuring spring-loaded mechanism (this later appeared on the Nokia 7110).

  Nokia 8208: Dual-Slider Elite. The Rarest CDMA Flagship Nokia Ever Built

  💎 Rarity Index: S (Ultra Rare)

  ⭐ WOW Factor: Rare Nokia Dual-Slider CDMA Flagship (China-Exclusive, Short Production Run)

  👁 Evaluation in my collection: BNIB – 10/10

  ⏱ Life timer: 0 | 📦 Boxed: YES

  📅 Release Year: 2009 | 💰 Release Price: 300 €

  📊 Units Sold: ~200k

  ---

  📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia 8208 stands out as one of Nokia’s most distinctive high-end CDMA phones, created exclusively for the Chinese market in 2009. Built for China Telecom’s premium segment, it delivers a rare combination of power, design originality, and luxury-grade construction that places it among the most collectible CDMA-era Nokias ever made. This unit is preserved in factory-new condition, an exceptional find considering how few 8208 units escaped heavy carrier use. BNIB status significantly elevates its desirability and rarity for collectors.

  Its signature feature is the dual-slider design: slide up to reveal the keypad, slide down for dedicated multimedia controls – a layout rarely seen on a Nokia device. Combined with its solid feel, metal structural elements, sharp lines, and balanced weight, the 8208 feels like a deliberately crafted premium instrument rather than a typical feature phone.

  Production numbers were limited, and the model never officially reached markets outside China, making surviving units scarce worldwide – especially in top condition.

  Nokia 8587: Korea Exclusive CDMA Rarity (BNIB)

  💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)

  ⭐ WOW Factor: A model using a battery and hardware ecosystem Nokia never used anywhere else

  👁 Evaluation in my collection: BNIB – 10/10

  ⏱ Life timer: 0 | 📦 Boxed: YES

  📅 Release Year: 2003 | 💰 Release Price: 350 €

  📊 Units Sold: ~200k

  ---

  📰 Why this phone matters: A truly unique Nokia released only for the South Korean market, the 8587 stands apart as one of the rarest and most unusual devices ever carrying the Nokia name. Built through a Korean ODM partnership, it blends classic Nokia software with Sanyo-style hardware, a proprietary domestic battery, and a design never used in any global Nokia model.

  This BNIB unit is a preserved time capsule from Nokia’s short-lived Korean CDMA experiment – a phone that looks Nokia on the outside but is unmistakably Korean-engineered inside. Closely related to models like the Nokia 8887, the 8587 represents a completely different branch of Nokia history, available only to local carriers and unseen outside Korea.

  A standout collectible for any serious Nokia or CDMA enthusiast.

  Highlights:

  Korea-exclusive model (RH-15)

  ODM-built with pseudo-Sanyo design and proprietary battery

  MIC-certified Korean domestic release (Dec 2003)

  Ultra-rare BNIB condition

  Part of Nokia’s experimental Korean CDMA lineup (e.g., 8587 / 8887)

  A true oddity: a Nokia that doesn’t follow Nokia’s global hardware standards

  Nokia 8600 Luna

  💎 Rarity Index: B (Uncommon)

  👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9.5/10

  🕵 Nokia Codename: Luna

  ⏱ Life timer: 9h | 📦 Boxed: NO

  📅 Release Year: 2007 | 💰 Release Price: ~700 €

  📊 Units Sold: ~1M

  ---

  📰 Why this phone matters: Like previous luxury Nokia models, the Luna is largely encased by its stainless steel chassis but has one important difference: the slider is made from semi-opaque smoked glass that leaves the keypad to glow through, rather ethereally. It glides open with a smooth slide-action, and closes with a reassuring click.

  Two long loudspeaker grills add to the overall impression of luxury, and little else is allowed to clutter the edges of the handset save for the microUSB port. This is used for the charger, data cable and stereo headset, conveniently ridding the need for extra connections.

  Opening the handset reveals a decent-sized keypad, larger than its predecessor and plenty big enough for man-sized digits, although the lower row is a bit close set to the slider for comfort. Nokia users will be immediately familiar with the standard layout of the Series 40 graphic interface and four-way navigational pad, but will have to have fairly good eyesight as the default font is rather small

  Nokia 8800 Arte Classic Black

  💎 Rarity Index: B (Uncommon)

  👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9/10

  🕵 Nokia Codename: Skira

  ⏱ Life timer: 21h | 📦 Boxed: NO

  📅 Release Year: 2008 | 💰 Release Price: ~1000 €

  📊 Units Sold: ~600k

  ---

  📰 Why this phone matters: Nokia describes the composition of the latest 8800 as a “unique synthesis of high quality glass and metal”, however, unique seems a misnomer considering how similar the Arte looks to its predecessor the Sirocco. That said, there’s definitely something alluring about the simple elegance of the Arte.

  The 8800 feels great to hold and to use. It’s noticeably heavier than other handsets, and while we’d often mark the extra heft as a bad point, the Arte has a pleasing weight; it feels solid and durable. The sliding mechanism is amongst the best we’ve used, and again gives the impression of a high quality build and of a level of craftsmanship absent from cheaper mass-produced models.

  📰 Why this phone matters: Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte (RM-461) – the China-market edition of Nokia’s luxury Arte line, featuring a genuine sapphire crystal navigation key, real brown leather back cover, stainless-steel frame and the elegant mocha-brown titanium finish specific to this variant. Built in 2008 with a 1GB internal memory layout and the premium Series 40 Arte interface, this model was engineered for the Asian GSM market and operates on regional 2G frequencies (900/1800), unlike the global 8800e models which use quad-band hardware. Part of Nokia’s final luxury slider family, the Sapphire Arte remains one of the most refined and collectible 8800 variants ever produced
