Nokia 8110 “Banana”
In the cult trilogy of the brothers, and now the Wachowski sisters, a mobile phone has flashed, instantly heading the rating of the most coveted phones around the world. It is rumored that Morpheus himself called some owners of the tube.
This model is often confused with the Nokia 7110, but in the movie it was the Nokia 8110 phone, not serial, but specially modified.
The lid of the usual Nokia 8110 needs to be dragged with a finger, and the version from the “Matrix” has automatic debugging. Naturally, all this for a greater wow effect.
Nokia 8910
Nokia had very cool premium image phones, inaccessible to most Russian citizens then, but in high demand now.
Nokia 8910 is an elegant slider phone, the body of which is made of titanium. A year after its appearance, the manufacturer released an updated version of the 8910i with a color display.
Nokia 8800
On the model 8910 came the next slider Nokia 8800 with a stainless steel case. The phone was collected exclusively in Germany.
A little later, there were modifications to the classic Nokia 8800 model called Sirocco Edition with a more capacious battery, extended memory, a modified chassis mechanism and a special version with chromium-plating.
Following the Sirocco came Nokia 8800 Arte Edition, more advanced in terms of filling.
Phone was issued in five versions:
- Arte – black stainless steel case.
- Sapphire Arte is a brown leather and stainless steel case, an artificial sapphire in the navigation button.
- Sapphire Arte Black – black body made of leather and stainless steel, artificial sapphire in the navigation button.
- Carbon Arte – in addition to steel in the body used elements of carbon fiber and titanium.
- Gold Arte – body with gold plating and inserts of white leather.
Nokia 1100
Nobody will dare to challenge the absolute power of the 3310th model, but Nokia also had other equally successful phones.
You probably remember this neat little brick with silicone buttons and flashlight. In the company itself, the model was called “Penny”. Within five years, 200 million of these phones were sold – the best figure in the history of Nokia. Prior to this, the leadership was expected in the 3310th model.
Nokia 9300
Nokia 9300 can not be called simply a phone. In fact, it consists of two modules: a dialer and the most real communicator.
A common tube, but it’s worth discovering it, and before you is a fairly advanced device for working with files, mail, MS Office documents, a player, Opera browser and a bunch of bells and whistles. For 2004, it was just a breakthrough.
The more advanced Nokia 9300i lit up in “Die Hard 4.0” and proved to be an excellent tool for fighting cybercrime.
Motorola
Motorola E398
About RAZR V3 know everything, but that legendary clamshell was not the only hit from Motorola. The second in success for the company was the phone E398, quite deservedly called a tape recorder in your pocket.
The presence of powerful backlit stereo speakers really turned the communication device into a portable music system, with which no other phone could compete.
Motorola C350
One of the first phones in the world with a color display.
Powerful polyphony, GPRS, connection to a computer with a standard cheap and universally available USB-wire and low price brought him well-deserved popularity.
Siemens
At first we wanted to place here individual phone models of the legendary German manufacturer, but the more nostalgic, the wider the list became. As a result, the question arose: were there any bad “Siemens”? I think no.
Even in those far years the company applied a clear, competent and comprehensible for customers division of devices into categories:
- Siemens A – budget workhorses. We remember A52, A55 and sigh.
- Siemens C – srednyadychki, one of the best in its price category at the time. For many, the C55 and C65 will forever remain in memory as unsurpassed in quality and convenience phones.
- Siemens M – were positioned as sporting, but in fact they were just smart neubivaemye phones that were not afraid of strikes and water. And they have a really cool design. Oh, now would again hold the M55 or M65.
- Siemens S – not so popular, because they were positioned and cost as business devices, but what they were cool and heaped! You were dreaming about the S55, right?
Sony Ericsson
Sony Ericsson T610
Emerging in 2003, the Sony Ericsson T610 blew up the market. Not the most accessible, but incredibly advanced from a technical point of view. This minimalistic, rigorous design captivated at first sight.
Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot and Walkman
In the following years, we saw many Sony Ericsson phones, including Cyber-shot cameraphones with an emphasis on shooting and musical Walkman – the heirs of the legendary Sony players.
All of them were successful, in great demand and well served.
Samsung
Samsung C100
When the C100 appeared, people were surprised at its incredibly thin profile. Only 17 millimeters, can you imagine?
Yes, the technology took a step forward, but that stylish bold tube with an incredibly bright screen, steep polyphony and surprisingly stable work will live in our hearts.
SPH-N270 Matrix Phone
You will recognize it everywhere and everywhere. Extremely unusual tube with a retractable speaker, made specifically for the “Matrix”.
The phone supported only the American standards of cellular communication, but this fact does not prevent the collectors-fans of the “Matrix” from around the world to hunt for a rarity device, which was also released in limited edition.
What do you think? Which phones from the past, in your opinion, are worthy of re-issue and why?
