The Nokia 8110i with half-opened
sliding cover.
Nokia 8110
is a
released in 1996. It was announced on 9
September 1996, as the first of
's high-end
8000
series of phones.
Its
distinctive styling was the first example of a 'slider'
. A sliding
cover protected the keypad when being carried in the pocket and extended
downwards in use, bringing the
closer to the mouth.
The action
of opening the cover also answered an incoming call. The prominent curvature
of the case, particularly when open, earned it the nickname "banana phone". It
was also the first Nokia phone with monochrome graphic LCD.
The phone was designed for the business market and was one of the smallest and
lightest (152 grams) phones on the market, but still had better battery life
than its predecessor
.
The improved 8110i model, announced in March 1997, was the first phone with
the SSMS (Smart
) engine.
The handsets could be updated OTA (Over The
Air) with an intelligent menu structure, which allowed simple information
input, input which was sent through a simple structured text message to an MT
receiver.
This station could interpret information and send a structured text
message back to the handset. Ring tone receiving by SMS was also part of the
smart messaging protocol, so 8110i was also the first mobile phone to support
it. Nokia later stopped marketing Smart messaging and concentrated on the
upcoming
standard, but has not dropped smart messaging support from later
phones.
The 8110 is visually the same as the 8110i, apart from on the earlier
model, the Nokia logo appears in white.
8110 and 8110i models were succeeded
by
in 1998, while the 8146 and 8148 models were succeeded by
in 1999.
