    📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia 3230 is a Symbian Series 60 smartphone announced on November 2, 2004. It was billed as the first Series 60 phone aimed at the mass-market rather than the higher-end Series 60 devices with a relatively low cost of 350 eur;os when released in Q1 2005.This phone was designed as a replacement for two previous youth-oriented Nokia phones – the Nokia 3660 Series 60 smartphone and the Nokia 3220 feature phone. No variant of this phone was released for the United States market.

    It runs on Series 60 2nd Edition Feature Pack 1 (Version 2.1), based on Symbian OS 7.0s. It features several games (including multiplayer Bluetooth games), a 1.23-megapixel camera, Nokia Lifeblog, a 32 MB RS-MMC to store extra images and applications, Push to Talk, a 176×208 pixel 65,536-colour screen, multimedia messaging, and RealPlayer.

    The Nokia 3230 is one of the first with Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC), a walkie-talkie style method of communicating, and also Visual Radio, which enhances a normal radio receiver with extra info about artists and songs delivered over GPRS.

    For data transfer, the phone can use EDGE to upload up to 35.2 kbit/s and download up to 178.6 kbit/s, and is a GPRS multislot class 10, up to 80 kbit/s.

    Known issues
    It has been frequently reported that fine dust get into the space between the LCD screen and the transparent plastic cover. The dust can be manually removed by opening the plastic case.

    In common with many phones of this type, the battery life is not as much as you would expect on older models of phones. Less than 2 days is typical whereas older ‘mono screen’ phones can often manage a week between recharging.

    Users also reported that before the call ringtone sound, the 3230 would give a loud “beep” sound, with no way to turn it off or control its volume. The device would beep even on silent mode. This issue was most common in the early models of the phone.

    Other users have reported slow response times for the camera, sudden screen blackouts and random reboots.

    📰 Why this phone matters: Rare Nokia 3250 RM-38 engineering prototype featuring Nokia’s F5/NCT/BDA validation markings. Labeled Prototype – Not for Sale – Property of Nokia and built with pre-production hardware, prototype IMEI, and internal test circuitry. Although the Black & Pink shell reached retail, this device is a true R&D unit used for field testing (F5), Nokia Compatibility Testing (NCT – accessory, firmware, Bluetooth, and sync compatibility validation), and Board Design Assessment (BDA – PCB layout, electrical stability, and radio integrity evaluation). A prototype with NCT + BDA validation tags is exceptionally rare, as these were normally destroyed after evaluation, making this one of the few surviving engineering-stage 3250 units-a remarkable piece of Nokia’s swivel-phone development history.

    ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: NO

    📅 Release Year: 2003 | 💰 Release Price: 450 €

    📊 Units Sold: ~2M


    📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia 3660 is a refined and expressive successor to the iconic Nokia 3650, combining the power of the early Symbian Series 60 platform with a redesigned keypad and a striking color-focused design.

    Powered by Symbian OS 6.1 with Series 60 UI, the 3660 offered video recording, Bluetooth connectivity, multimedia messaging, RealPlayer support, and expandable MMC memory at a time when most mobile phones were still limited to basic features. Its VGA camera made it a capable early cameraphone, continuing the evolution that began with the Nokia 7650 and 3650.

    With its combination of color, capability, and unique early smartphone personality, the Nokia 3660 stands as a memorable and collectible piece of Nokia’s Symbian history. A mint red unit like this is a rare and valuable addition to any serious mobile phone collection.

    📅 Release Year: 1998 | 💰 Release Price: ~375 $

    📊 Units Sold: ~10M


    📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia 5110 is one of the most important consumer mobile phones ever created, marking the start of Nokia’s transformation into the world’s most iconic handset brand. Released in 1998, it introduced the concept of Xpress-On covers, allowing users to personalize their phone with fully replaceable front and rear shells. This innovation became one of Nokia’s defining features for years, shaping the identity of the company and the youth-driven mobile culture of the late 1990s.

    Built on the same core platform as the business-focused Nokia 6110, the 5110 delivered strong reception, excellent battery life, and the simple but powerful Series 20 user interface. Its rugged construction made it extremely durable, and its 84 x 48 pixel monochrome display driven by the Philips PCD8544 controller offered impressive clarity for the time. The inclusion of Snake, one of the first globally recognized mobile games, helped turn the 5110 into a cultural milestone.

    The collection includes an outstanding selection of Nokia 5110 units. With around 10 color variants, multiple sealed original covers, and an extremely rare official Michael Schumacher cover, it captures the full expressive power of the Xpress-On concept. These accessories, especially sealed originals and licensed editions, are now highly desirable collectibles due to their limited production and the heavy real-world use of most 5110s.

    The Nokia 5110 stands today as a symbol of simplicity, durability, and personalization. Its impact on mobile culture is unquestionable, and a collection as diverse as yours highlights just how influential and historic this model truly was. It remains a cornerstone of any serious Nokia or mobile phone collection.
