TheNokia 5110 is aGSMmobile phone that was introduced byNokia on 12 April 1998.[1]
The 5110, also known as the Nokia5146 on One2One (nowT-Mobile), or thenk402 onOrange in the UK, was intended for the consumer market, preceding theNokia 3110(2001), and succeeding the analogueNokia 232 (1994). Its design is based on the same platform asNokia 6110 for the business market. It features a similar, simpler, revamped user interface calledSeries 20,[2] but lacked theinfrared data interface. It can, however, be interfaced with a computer via a cellular data card and a proprietary cable, enabling it to function like a modem to connect to remote computer systems through thePublic switched telephone network (PSTN).
The Nokia 5110 features an 84×48-pixel monochrome LCD with four LED backlights, operated by thePhilips PCD8544 display controller.
It is the first Nokia phone to come with replaceablefaceplates, which Nokia branded "Xpress-on" covers; a concept Nokia incorporated into several other consumer-oriented cellphones aimed at the young adult market for years to come, allowing users to customize their device.[3] "Xpress-on" wastrademarked in the U.S. on 25 February 1998.[4]
The Nokia 5110 is also one of the first mobile phones to feature the gameSnake. It became one of the most popular phones of its era.
The Nokia 5110 was discontinued by the year 2000, having been fully replaced by the smallerNokia 3210.
The Nokia model 5110 received some notoriety following the triple October2002 Bali bombings that resulted in 202 deaths. A shard from the (remote bomb detonation) phone was recovered outside the US consulate inDenpasar. The fragment included the phone'sIMEI number and authorities were able to trace the phone's owner. With this information police & intelligence could then unravel the entireJemaah Islamiyah terror cell's network.[5]
In the Asia Pacific region, Nokia launched a successor to the 5110, the5110i. The 5110i has longer talk and standby times, and had a more ergonomic, redesigned, silicone keypad.
While the Nokia 5110 operates only on900MHz GSM networks, the5130 operates on1800MHz GSM networks instead. It was marketed by Orange UK as thenk402.
The North American variant of this handset is Nokia5190, which is a1900 MHz-only GSM handset. Nokia 5125 is the North American version of the 5110i.
Nokia5160/Nokia5165 withTDMA/IS-136 service on 800 MHz and 1900 MHz and analogAMPS service at 800 MHz is the same handset form. Nokia5120/5125 is a TDMA/IS-136 handset that operates on 800 MHz, and also on AMPS at 800 MHz.
Nokia5180i/Nokia5185i are CDMA/AMPS handsets.
