TheNokia 9210 Communicator is the third-generationCommunicator seriesmobile phone produced byNokia, announced on 21 November 2000[2] and released in June 2001. It greatly improved on the second-generationNokia 9110 Communicator, providing a colour main screen and using anARM processor. It is one of the few mobile phones able to send and receivefax.
It was the first device to run on theSymbian OS platform,[3] version 6, succeeding version 5 ofEPOC. It also introduced Nokia'sSeries 80 interface, which was the result ofSymbian Ltd.'s 'Crystal' design.[4]
It is used as a normal though bulky mobile phone in closed mode; when it is flipped open it can be used like a very small notebook computer with a 640 × 200 screen.[1] Theearpiece and microphone are located on the back so one must hold it with the front screen and keypad facing out to make a call. The phone also hasspeakerphone functionality.
The 9210 Communicator's success helped Nokia overtake bothPalm andCompaq to become the leading 'mobile data device' vendor in Western Europe in the third quarter of 2001, when it had a 28.3 percent share in the market.[5]

The 9210i launched in 2002 increased the internal memory to 40 MB and adds theRealPlayer for video streaming. Theweb browser now supportsFlash 5 and HTML 4.01 instead of HTML 3.2 on the 9210. The main screen backlight was also changed from high voltageCCFL tube light towhite LED backlight, which was quite new technology at the time.[6]
The American variant of the 9210i is theNokia 9290 supportingGSM-1900, first introduced on 5 June 2001 and eventually, after a year-long delay, was released in June 2002.[7]

Both new models include other improvements such as:EDGE, colour external displays andBluetooth.
The phone received a resurgence in interest in the 2010s when it was pointed out that a scene in the music video for "Dilemma" byNelly featuringKelly Rowland shows Rowland's character typing a text message in her Nokia 9210 using a spreadsheet application.[a][11][12] Nelly naively defended the use of the application in an interview with Australian talk showThe Project in November 2016, explaining that it was used during the time despite eventually becoming outdated.[13][14][15] In subsequent interviews, Rowland admitted to not knowing whatMicrosoft Excel was, which elicited a response from the application's officialTwitter account.[16][17]
