    The consumer version of the 6110, the 5110 was rugged, lasted ages between charges and had a replaceable faceplate. It was one of the first handsets to come with Snake.
  • Nokia 3210

    Nokia 3210
    One of the most popular phones in history, selling more than 160m units since release, and the first mass-market phone with an internal antenna. But the 3210 will probably best be remembered for popularising Snake and its T9 predictive text.
  • Nokia 6800

    Nokia 6800
    Texting was big by the late 90s and early 2000s, but how do you combine a traditional phone form factor with a full thumb board? Make the keyboard fold out on a central hinge, putting the screen in the middle of two sides of a thumb board, of course.
  • Nokia N90

    Nokia N90
    The first of the new ‘Nseries’ phones, the N90 was the top of the range with a flip-and-swivel screen and 2-megapixel camera, which meant it could be used like a traditional video camera. It could even print directly to some printers via USB or Bluetooth.
  • Nokia Lumina 800

    Nokia Lumina 800
    The first of Nokia’s Windows Phones, the Lumia 800 took the basic design of the MeeGo-based N9 and installed Windows Phone 7.5 on it. It had a 3.7in screen and 8-megapixel camera.
  • Nokia 6

    Nokia 6
    Smooth metal exterior and precise details. The newest Nokia phone to be made. 5.5” full-HD display and wide color reproduction, the wide viewing angle makes it easy to watch videos.
