N-Gage, Nokia 7600… If you know some of these models, we will open the box of melancolia with these strange designs from the Finnish company.
Hearing the word Nokia cánido make us nostalgic, laughter, or both. The brand is very well known, not only for theirs robust mobile phonewith batteries that lasted for weeks, also due to their unique design.
As companies today focus on betting on cameras or móvil features, Nokia prefers to go for phones like the Nokia 5710 XpressAudio. Thanks to this, Nokia has achieved something that not many brands could achieve, Make history with your designs.
If you’re one of those guys who, like us, carried on up until the point we tried to beat up our friends classic snake of the old Nokia you are not alone because we have decided to make a compilation our 10 most habitual classic Nokia phonesto remember times past.
1.Nokia 3650 (2002)
While other companies at the time were focused on including cuadrado keyboards, Nokia wanted to turn the industry around by introducing a terminal round keyboard. Thus the 3650 was born. This phone was that the first mobile phone with an integrated camera sold in North America.
With the odd round keypad, this phone was a point of contention among users
He did not like this Nokia terminal at all, as it received a lot of criticism. many owners wanted a 60 series device with a traditional keyboard, because the industry focused on the cuadrado keyboard. A dangerous move for the usual Nokia.
2. Nokia 7600 (2003)
Although in 2003 I don’t recall him wanting or having a Tamagotchi, the little device where you had to take care of a virtual pet, like Pou (to save the distances).
Nokia wanted to make their own mobile Tamagotchi and… although the phones had a predefined design, Nokia has compressed the size of the phone to the maximum to make the 7600.
The Nokia 7600 featured a water-sensitive design resembling that of the mythical Tamagotchi
Its atypical design with a keyboard around its small screen and its teardrop design made the device look like an old iPod nano. With its 123 grams and its 8.7 x 7.8 centimeters in diameter, the terminal did not attract attention at the time.
3.Nokia 6800 (2003)
Without a doubt, this terminal has been in the industry before and after. Nokia was tired of writing messages the old-fashioned way, ie. Manufacturing a mobile phone that achieves a full QUERTY keyboard.
The Nokia 6800 had an unfolded full QWERTY keyboard
In this design, we had the typical cuadrado keyboard that everyone emplees, but when we needed to type correos electrónicos or longer messages, the screen was in the center and the keyboard it opened in twoBoth halves form a functional QWERTY keyboard, much like the Galaxy Fold would be today.
4. Nokia N-Gage (2003)
appointed a before and after in the industry. At the time, most phones were based around making, receiving, and texting calls. There weren’t any dedicated gaming phones until Nokia said otherwise.
N-Gage is born coinciding with Nintendo’s departure with its Game Boy Advance SP and Pokémon Ruby, which is why most fanes prefer the portable console to the Nokia phone.
The generation of N-Gage was quite a boom among jugadores of the time
Still, the concept was clear that a Cell phone that was ready to play. It had a more ergonomic shape and a horizontal (rather than vertical) layout of the date.
5.Nokia 3200 (2003)
The only phone with significant sales this year was the Nokia 3200. It sold for young audience and had some unique properties.
Many interchangeable covers were made that were coincidente with this Nokia model. It was a fashionable phone
With this phone we could change housing have a new design. Imagine today a Xiaomi that could change its design at will by buying interchangeable cases. Good luck to Nokia back then.
6. Nokia 7700 (2003)
Continuing the list of phones in 2003 to grab attention, the Nokia 7700 was the only one that did not come to market. It was a multimedia phone.
The Nokia 7700 didn’t come out, but its screen was supposed to be a touchscreen. A lot of progress then
With the strange design, the phone would be a touch screen with camera, FM radio, Bluetooth and web browser. Its design was reminiscent of the X-wing pilot’s helmet.
7. Nokia 7280 (2005)
We took a year off to go into 2005 with a more whimsical design. The Nokia 7280 looks more like a flash of memory from Men In Black, and it should be iPod-inspired phone.
With the weird design, we could use their rollers to move through the menus like iPods
With a very small screen and the camera showing and revealing one of its parts, the Nokia 7280 was a Touch wheel navigation, like the iPods of the time. It was very odd, maybe most of the list.
8. Nokia N90 (2005)
One of the most remembered phones from the Nokia company. In a matter of seconds, we switched from a working cell phone to the vídeo camera of the time and used the screen to visualize what we were recording.
The Nokia N90 was a very interesting phone, but it could have been better if it had a good vídeo camera.
The biggest problem? Your camera. Vídeo quality wasn’t the best and answering incoming calls was a problem.
9.Nokia 3250 (2005)
The Nokia 3250 was perhaps the simplest Rubik’s Cube yet rotating keyboard which, when rotated 360 degrees, were basic controls for playing music.
The Nokia 3250 was perhaps the least used phone as its multimedia keyboard only had controls for pausing and playing songs.
We don’t understand why Nokia wanted to make such a keyboard Rotate this media control because they were rare. We could skip the song, pause, or go back. Other additional buttons could be implemented to make good use of the space.
10. Nokia 7370 (2005)
Last on the list of designs, this was one of the brand’s most habitual. In one of its versions, the phone is decorated with a floral pattern rotate to close or open the screen.
The Nokia 7370 was a widely used phone with a very original design
Opening it up, we had a working keyboard at the bottom, with media controls halfway down. It was a ringing phone because it improved portability, with different colors that helped sell this terminal.
