TheNokia 8310 is amobile phone manufactured byNokia between 2001 and 2004.[citation needed] The handset was announced atCEBIT in March 2001[1] as a member of Nokia's flagship premium 'candybar' variety and retailed for a price in excess of£400 (approximately £740 in 2025 adjusted for inflation) when it first shipped in September 2001.[2][3] As the successor to theNokia 8210, the 8310 was even smaller in size,[4] one of the smallest Nokia have produced to date. It also has support for Xpress-On covers,[5] and it was reported to come in 100 colour combinations.[6][7]
It, along with theNokia 6310, were the first Nokia phones built on the Nokia DCT4 hardware platform, which replaced the DCT3 that dated back toNokia 6110 (1997).[8] It contained advanced features not normally found on handsets of the time, such asinfrared, a fully functional calendar, and was the first Nokia phone to supportGPRS data[9] and anFM radio. It was also the first Nokia phone to feature a polyphonic startup sound, despite not having polyphonic ringtones built into the phone, possibly due to the muffled sound.[10][11] The 8310 has a white backlight.
The 8310 shares the same platform[12] and shape with the 2002-releasedNokia 6510, which the latter model being a more business-oriented phone and utilised a higher resolution 96x60 display. Faceplates designed for the 8310 can be installed on a 6510 and vice versa. They were among Nokia's last phones to feature a monochrome display with a buzzer.[13] Nokia 8310 was succeeded by theNokia 7210 with the fashion-oriented handsets moving from the 8xxx range to 7xxx.[14] However it is considered that it did not receive a true successor incorporating its especially small size.[15]
A GSM-1900 version for theNorth American market named theNokia 8390 was also released.[16]AT&T Wireless[17] andRogers Communications offered the 8390 in theUnited States andCanada, respectively.
