Nokia 3210

Design

The Nokia 3210 has a total weight of 153g. The handset measures 123.8mm x 50.5mm x 16.7mm (min), 22.5mm (max) and features customizable fascias which clip on. It was the first mass market phone with an internal antenna, after the feature had been introduced by Nokia on the luxury phone 8810 in 1998. The 3210 was designed by Alastair Curtis in Nokia's Los Angeles Design Center.

Notable features

Three games came preinstalled: Snake, Memory (pairs-memory game), and Rotation. The addition of such games encouraged high sales within a youth market which was enlarging at a very fast rate. Some versions of the 3210 included the "hidden" games React and Logic. They were activated by special software using a data cable.

  • The 3210 was one of the first mobile phones to feature an internal antenna. This distinguished the handset from others which featured large, awkward and unsightly antennae. Reception, although poorer than that of its predecessor, the 3110, was still very good.
  • 'Picture messages' sent via the SMS texting service were implemented in the handset, allowing users to send preinstalled pictures to one another. These included a 'Happy Birthday' picture amongst others.
  • The phone allowed creating single channel ringtones via internal software. It was possible to send the ringtones to another Nokia phone.
  • The handset was competitively priced and aimed specifically at teenagers and young professionals. This was at a time when few young people had access to a mobile phone, being generally identified with older professionals and business people.
  • The 3210 was originally designed with a vibrate alert function. Nokia decided not to implement this feature on some handsets within certain jurisdictions. A few months after its UK release, some mobile phone repair shops offered customers a handset upgrade to the vibrate function for a small fee.

Success

A combination of cutting-edge features such as internal antennas and T9 ensured the 3210 huge commercial success. The 3210 can also attribute much of its success to an advertising campaign aimed predominantly at young people, a first in the mobile phone industry. The inclusion of 3 games, changeable covers, an internal antenna, customisable ringtones and competitive prices led to the handset's huge popularity with those aged 15–25. It was also thinner than previous Nokia models.

Nokia 9110i communicator

The Nokia 9210 Communicator is a third generation Communicator series smartphone produced by Nokia, introduced November 21, 2000.[1] It greatly improved on the second generation Nokia 9110 Communicator, providing colour main screen, changing toSymbian OS platform and ARM processor.

Nokia e6
The Nokia E6-00 is a smartphone running the Symbian^3 based "Symbian Anna" operating system. It supersedes the Nokia E72 as the new Symbian business mobility solution from Nokia.[5]
The smartphone is notable for its backlit 4-rows QWERTY keyboard and touch screen input methods, for its long battery life (Talktime : 7.5 to 14.8 h and Standby : 28 to 31 days),[3] the out-of-the-box access to Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Microsoft Communicator Mobile and Microsoft SharePoint[5] and the high pixel density of its VGA display (326ppi).[6]
Like its predecessors (Nokia E71/E72), the Nokia E6-00 integrates a stainless steel and glass design.[5] The back removable cover, the raised panel for the back camera, dual LED flash and loud speaker and the contour of the front are made of stainless steel. The front of the phone (except for the QWERTY keyboard, short cut buttons and Navikey) is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass.
Its casing has three color options (black, silver and white).

History and availability[edit]

The predecessor of the E6-00 in the Eseries, consisting of business-oriented smartphones, was the Nokia E72 which shipped in November 2009. As with the E71, the E72 received mostly praises from the press. It is worth noting that Nokia released theE7, a landscape QWERTY slider smartphone in the E-series based on Symbian^3, that shipped in February 2011.
The first hints that the Nokia E6-00 was being developed came, in early January 2011, from a Nokia XML[7] and pictures from a Picasa album with pictures taken with the device.[8] Various information could be retrieved from the XML such as the 8 MP camera, VGA display and QWERTY keyboard.[9] The device was not officially announced at the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona (14–17 February 2011).[10] Various pictures and videos of the Nokia E6-00 leaked during the months of February and March.
It was officially announced at a special event, named Discover Symbian, on 12 April 2011 along with the Nokia X7 and the latest update of Symbian software.[5] It is expected to be released in Q2 2011 in Europe at a price of €340 (before taxes and subsidies) and in Q3 2011 in North America.[4]
In May 2011, the Nokia E6 became available at the Nokia Deutschland online shop for preorder at the price of €429.[11]

Hardware[edit]

Processors[edit]

The Nokia E6-00 is powered by the same processor found in other recent Symbian devices such as the Nokia N8, E7 and C7, which is an ARM11 clocked at 680 MHz with a Broadcom BCM2727 GPU which supports OpenVG1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0 support.[12][2]

Screen and input[edit]

The Nokia E6-00 has a 62.5 mm (diagonally) capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 640 × 480 pixel (VGA, 326 ppi).[1]According to Nokia, it is capable of displaying up to 16.7M colours.[1] The screen brightness of the E6-00 is "more than double the brightness of the E72" when measured in candelas.[13] There is a proximity sensor which deactivates the display and touchscreen when the device is brought near the face during a call.[1] The Nokia E6 also understands PictBridge protocol so it's possible to directly print from the phone to a printer without using a computer to handle the data transfer in between.
The optical Navi key of the E72 has been replaced by a Navi key on the E6-00.[1] It has also an ambient light sensor that adjusts the display brightness and activates the backlit of the 4-row keyboard. A 3-axis accelerometer is present but will not switch the display to portrait mode when the device is turned sideways. It will, however, take pictures in portrait and show them the right way in the photo gallery.[13]
The device has an autonomous GPS with optional A-GPS functionality, Wi-Fi network positioning and Cell-ID and comes pre-loaded with the Ovi Maps application. Ovi Maps for Symbian^3 provides: free life time, turn by turn, voice guided car and pedestrian navigation.[1] If the map is already downloaded to the device, Ovi Maps does not require an active data connection and can work as a stand alone GPS navigator. For other services, for example Google Maps, a data connection is required.
Live Camera view of Nokia E6's 8 Mega-Pixel Camera
The 8-megapixel (3264 x 2448 px) back camera has an extended depth of field feature (no autofocus), dual LED flash, 2X digital zoom (3X in video mode) and offers high definition (720p, 16:9 aspect ratio) video recording at 25 frame/s or 4:3 aspect ratio.[4] The 0.3-megapixel front camera is capable of video recording (176 x 144 px at 15 frame/s)[2] for video calling.
The Nokia E6 has a loudspeaker and two microphones.[2] The microphone at the front of the device collects voices of the user, another microphone at the back of the device collects environmental noise for active noise cancellation, which makes user's voice in noisy environment sound clearer to the person at the other end of the line. Noise cancellation is not available when using the loudspeaker or a headset.

Buttons[edit]

On the front of the device, there is a QWERTY keyboard, call creation and call termination keys, home (menu), calendar, contact and email shortcut keys with short and long press features and a 5-way Scrolling (Navi key).[1] On the top there is the power/lock button, on the right hand side there is the lock/unlock slider, which also turn on the torch (dual LED flash of the camera). Above that button, there are three keys: (1) volume down, (2) volume up and (3) a middle key for activating the voice commands (long press) and the voice recorder (short press).[14][12] When the device is locked, pressing the Navi will also bring up a menu which allow to unlock the Nokia E6-00 from the touch screen.[12]
The QWERTY keyboard comes in a variety (24) language versions, including Arabic, Thai, Russian and Chinese.[15]

Audio and output[edit]

The E6-00 has a microphone and a loudspeaker located on the back of the device. There is a 3.5 mm four-contact audio jack which simultaneously provides stereo audio output and either microphone input or video output.[1] PAL and NTSC TV out is possible using a Nokia Video Connectivity Cable (not included upon purchase) or a standard 3.5 mm audio jack to RCA cable.
There is a High-Speed USB 2.0 USB Micro-B connector provided for data synchronization, mass storage mode (client) and battery charging. The Nokia E6-00 supports for USB On-The-Go 1.3[2] (the ability to act as a USB host) using a Nokia Adapter Cable for USB OTG CA-157 (not included upon purchase).[1]
The built-in Bluetooth v3 supports wireless earpieces and headphones through the HSP profile. The Nokia E6-00 is also capable of stereo audio output with the A2DP profile. Built-in car hands-free kits are also supported with the HFP profile. File transfer is supported (FTP) along with the OPP profile for sending/receiving objects. It is possible to remote control the device with the AVRCP profile. The DUN profile which permits access to the Internet from a laptop by dialing up on a mobile phone wirelessly (tethering). Other profiles are also supported (BIP, GAP, GAVDP, GOEP, HSP, PBAP, SAP, SDP and SPP).[2] The device has an 87.5-108 MHz (76-90 MHz in Japan) FM receiver with RDS support. It has Wi-Fi b/g/n connectivity (single band) with support for WEP, WPA and WPA2 (AES/TKIP) security protocols.[1]
