Nokia N95 8GB BNIB: “Alderaan”.The Multimedia Powerhouse That Defined a Generation
Quick View💎 Rarity Index: B (Uncommon)
⭐ WOW Factor: The first Nokia phone with a built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver
👁 Evaluation in my collection: BNIB – 10/10
🕵 Nokia Codename: Aino
⏱ Life timer: 0 | 📦 Boxed: YES
📅 Release Year: 2007 | 💰 Release Price: ~500 €
📊 Units Sold: ~4M
📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia N95 8GB (RM-320) is widely regarded as the definitive and most perfected version of the original N95. This particular unit is BNIB, untouched since it left Nokia’s factory in Finland, making it one of the most desirable variants ever produced.While the first N95 shocked the world with dual-slide controls, GPS, Wi-Fi and a 5 MP Carl Zeiss autofocus camera, the N95 8GB went far beyond a simple memory upgrade. It is in fact a deep hardware refresh disguised as a cosmetic revision.
Internally, the RM-320 uses a redesigned motherboard with improved power management, a new memory configuration and an integrated 8 GB soldered flash package. According to engineering documentation referenced on LPCWiki, this redesign required new trace routing, a different memory controller setup and a strengthened slider rail structure. This makes the N95 8GB a significantly more advanced device under the hood than the N95-1.
The device also introduced hardware-accelerated 3D graphics via the PowerVR MBX Lite core, working together with the OMAP 2420 platform and its DSP media engine. At the time, this combination created one of the earliest smartphones capable of true console-like graphics and smooth video playback.
Display size also increased to 2.8 inches, giving the phone a more modern look and better multimedia usability. The removal of the microSD slot was not a downgrade but a design restructuring: Nokia shifted to internal storage specifically to improve performance, stability, transfer speed and reliability.
The N95 8GB also benefited from Nokia’s Location Platform 1.0, enabling A-GPS, offline vector maps and early positioning APIs. This was years before modern mobile navigation became standard, making the N95 series one of the earliest pioneers of smartphone location services.
For collectors, the Finland-made RM-320 units are the most desirable. Initial batches were produced in relatively small volumes before manufacturing was relocated. Being BNIB and Finnish-built puts this piece in the highest tier of collectible Nseries devices.

📊 Units Sold: ~1M
📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia rinGo was designed to be easy to use straight out of the box and was cheap to buy, due to special mobile carrier tariffs.[An ETACS version of the rinGo with minor design changes was launched in 1997 in the United Kingdom and Austria. It was the UK’s first pay as you go Nokia handset through Vodafone’s pay as you talk package. It was also sold in Thailand under the name Wave900.
In press releases it was also called a ‘concept’, a way of easily buying and using a mobile phone without operator registration. Nokia unusually created a unique “rinGo” brand and logo for it. ater in October 1998 a third (NHX-7) model was released for ETACS in Italy and Spain (the latter via operator Moviline). It featured the “Navi-key” like on the GSM Nokia 3110 and Nokia 5110 and had its top antenna positioned in the middle.
Nokia rinGo 3
The phones have the capacity to store about 60 contacts. Calculator, Watch and Calendar were pre installed on the handset.Nokia marketed original rinGo targeting women and children. However it gained a negative reputation and in Sweden earned the nickname “bimbo phone”, leading to low sales.Interest and popularity of the rinGo quickly faded and it has been largely forgotten since.

Nokia Unknown Model Prototype: CodeName Kabaka | Unreleased

📰 Why this phone matters: Nokia NPM-3NA “Caballa” – Unreleased 3G Prototype (2001)The Nokia NPM-3NA is an extremely rare, unreleased prototype developed around 2001 during Nokia’s early work on Japan’s first 3G network, NTT DoCoMo’s FOMA. Built in very small internal batches, this device was used for radio testing, firmware evaluation and UI experiments, and was never certified or intended for public sale.
Running prototype firmware V55.40 (31-10-01) with the internal ? NMP signature and showing an unassigned IMEI (??????????????), the phone carries all hallmarks of an engineering sample. The internal hardware label NE8_06 / HW0250 suggests a development board related to NEC, a major DoCoMo technology partner in the early W-CDMA era. Its long extendable antenna and unique keypad design match the style of early FOMA trial devices, such as NEC’s X2001V.
With no public documentation, no final RM code, and no retail equivalent, the NPM-3NA stands as a rare glimpse into Nokia’s abandoned Japanese-market 3G program. A genuine collector-grade prototype, extremely uncommon and historically significant for anyone interested in unreleased Nokia hardware or the origins of modern 3G technology.

The phone carries the official team branding directly on its polished metallic shell, making it instantly recognizable as part of the visual universe that surrounded the McLaren team in the late 2000s. It reflects the era when the team was front and center in the sport, with Vodafone leading its global marketing push and the car wearing the famous chrome and red livery seen on the grid.The 770SH itself comes from Sharp’s premium clamshell series used heavily by Vodafone across eur;ope and Asia. Known for its sharp internal display, clean hinge engineering and reliable hardware, the model was often used for carrier-specific special editions. This McLaren variant stands out through its unique exterior design, making it part of a very small group of officially branded motorsport phones.
What elevates this set even further is the addition of the FanVision McLaren Mercedes accessory, a special fan device that delivered race related content directly to spectators during live events.

Branded in the same McLaren Mercedes style, the accessory completes a racing oriented package that represents a moment in time when mobile phones, live motorsport data and fan engagement started merging into a single experience.
Together, the phone and the FanVision device form a unique collectible that captures the feeling of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes era.

As a combined set, it stands as a remarkable piece of racing culture and mobile history.

Sharp GX25 Ferrari Edition: Scuderia Signature Model
Quick View💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)
⭐ WOW Factor: Genuine Rosso Corsa finish with Scuderia shield applied at factory.

⏱ Life timer: 0m | 📦 Boxed: YES
📅 Release Year: 2005 | 💰 Release Price: N/A
📊 Units Sold: ~300k

The Ferrari variant was released only in select Vodafone markets, never distributed widely, and typically tied to restricted promotional runs. As a result, surviving examples are exceptionally scarce, and BNIB units like this one are almost unheard of today.
Thanks to its protective films still intact, the phone shows zero external wear, preserving every original contour, lens surface, and paint transition exactly as delivered from the factory. Beyond the Ferrari branding, the GX25 remains a capable and stylish clamshell featuring a high resolution Sharp display, LED assisted camera, Java support, MMS, and the classic Vodafone Live interface.

Siemens CF62
Quick View💎 Rarity Index: C (Common)
👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9/10
⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: NO
📅 Release Year: 2004 | 💰 Release Price: ~150 $
📊 Units Sold: ~3M
📰 Why this phone matters: Siemens is not very strong in the clamshell phone segment, its first product, clamshell CL50 was accepted more than just cold by the consumers. The next product – CL55 did not even reach the market, this ODM-model was silently cancelled in the first quarter of year 2004. That’s why it was pretty useless to expect warm feedback from the consumers for the CF62 phone, it undeservedly lost attention by consumers who considered this phone another asian model. The irony is that this time Siemens had developed the model by itself and did it with their best traditions. After a long break Siemens introduced successful model, which has slipped out of consumer’s sight due to previous failures. I’d like to make a note here, that by saying successful model you should not expect maximal functionality, you will not find it here, but try looking for match of functions and segment – and you will find it, it is new generation of what Siemens M55 was for its time, by the way CF62 is the clone of this model.📝 Reviews when released: Mobile Review 🔗
