    📅 Release Year: 1998 | 💰 Release Price: ~1800 $

    📊 Units Sold: ~500k


    📰 Why this phone matters: In 1998, the Nokia 8810 was considered a luxury phone. This was due to the sleek new design the 8810 presented. It had no external whip or stub antenna, which was unusual for the time.Instead, it featured an internal antenna, which allowed the phone to be stored in a pocket upside down.Nokia invested hundreds of man hours into research on how people hold their phones for calls; this allowed them to place the antenna accordingly.The 8810 is tapered and weighted to encourage users to hold it below the antenna, minimizing interference. However, this also led to a poorer signal reception compared to an external antenna, which meant battery life was reduced. It was encased entirely in plastic parts; this case would slide down to reveal the keypad. This new appearance, in particular the lack of an external antenna, meant the 8810 had a desirable advantage over its competitors and enjoyed moderate success.The choice to make the antenna internal had a negative effect on battery life, but Nokia felt this was an acceptable tradeoff for getting rid of the external antenna.The design of the phone also made it particularly popular following its release. Unlike most other phones in the market at the time, the Nokia 8810 featured a chrome metal finish as well as a pull down metal slide which covered the keypad and kept it clean. Nokia claimed to prioritize antenna performance over physical design if they were ever in conflict.It was designed to be the flagship and the most luxurious of all Nokia phones at the time, and also one of the first phones with chrome plating.

    💎 Rarity Index: B (Uncommon)

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: Good – 8/10

    🕵 Nokia Codename: Demi

    ⏱ Life timer: 240h | 📦 Boxed: NO

    📅 Release Year: 2003 | 💰 Release Price: ~650 $

    📊 Units Sold: ~300k


    📰 Why this phone matters: Nokia 8910 became very popular due to a high price, unusual opening and titan exterior. A revised model – Nokia 8910i is also rather successful. It differs from its predecessor in color of the phone (now it has only one black color) and availability of color screen. Like the other models from this phone line, a new display is capable to support only 4096 color. The other important difference is Java applications support.

    The phone measures 103 – 140.5 x 46 x 20 mm, it can be comfortably worn in the pockets or a hostel. The handset weighs 112 grams, what is a little bit heavier than the weight of the standard phone. On the other hand, titan exterior, which increases the phone’s weight, absorbs shocks and protects hardware. Scratches can’t be noticed on this phone even within the time; the color is not changed. To open the phone, press 2 side keys simultaneously and main part of the phone would be slid.

    ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: NO

    📅 Release Year: 1996 | 💰 Release Price: ~1000 $

    📊 Units Sold: ~250k


    📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia 9000 Communicator was the first product in Nokia’s Communicator series, announced at CeBIT 1996 and introduced into the market on 15 August 1996.The phone was large and heavy at 397 grams (14.0 oz) but powerful at the time. It is powered by an Intel 24 MHz i386 CPU and has 8 MB of memory, which is divided between applications (4 MB), program memory (2 MB) and user data (2 MB).The operating system is PEN/GEOS 3.0. The Communicator is one of the earliest smartphones on the market,after the IBM Simon in 1994 and the HP OmniGo 700LX, a DOS-based palmtop PC with integrated cradle for the Nokia 2110 cellular phone, announced in late 1995 and shipped in March 1996.
    It was highly advanced, featuring sending and receiving e-mail and fax via its 9.6 kbit/s GSM modem, and it also had a web browser and business programs. The Communicator is formed of a clamshell design that opens up to reveal a monochrome LCD display with a 640×200 resolution and a full QWERTY keyboard similar to a Psion PDA. It was priced £1,000 in the UK upon launch. Then-CEO of Nokia, Jorma Ollila, said in 2012 regarding the device: “We were five years ahead.”

    📅 Release Year: 1997 | 💰 Release Price: ~1500 $

    📊 Units Sold: ~150k


    📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia 9000iL Communicator is the rarest and most advanced version of the first-generation Communicator family. Released in 1997-1998 for the U.S. market only, it delivered true mobile computing capabilities years before any competitor. At a time when phones could barely handle SMS, the 9000iL could send email, browse early web pages, access corporate servers, send/receive faxes, and run productivity tools – all while doubling as a fully functional GSM phone.

    Powered by an Intel 486-class processor and running the GEOS-based Nokia Communicator OS, the 9000iL was essentially a miniature laptop disguised as a phone. Its iconic clamshell design with an external phone interface and a wide internal LCD display made it instantly recognizable – and a status symbol for professionals who needed real mobile data in the late 90s.

    Your unit, with its pristine RAB-4N label, Made in Finland stamp, and correct IMEI layout, is exactly the type of 9000iL that U.S. carriers imported in controlled quantities. It is a foundational piece of mobile history and a must-have for any serious Nokia collector.
