In the elderly Nokia phones There is at least one subtle but important feature: collectors buy them with pleasure. Do you know at least one person who would chase old mobile phones, LG, HTC or Sony Ericsson? Of course, some people still dream of buying an SE T610 in perfect condition, but this is rather an exception to the rule. Meanwhile, Nokia has dozens of such legendary models - and below we will refresh our memory of their list. This is especially relevant today - against the backdrop of the “mobile” divisions of Nokia by Microsoft Corporation. Which, quite possibly, will entail the disappearance of phones with a painfully familiar logo from the market.

Nokia 2110(1994). The first phone of the Finnish company with the Nokia Tune ringtone, which today (naturally, in a modern arrangement) is heard from the speakers of millions of mobile phones around the world. And 2110 was the first serial phone capable of receiving and sending SMS.

In addition, Nokia 2110 can be called a “great-great-great-grandfather”: the Finnish phone was inserted into the HP OmniGo 700LX Communicator Plus communicator (MS-DOS 5.0, 5.1-inch screen, 7.93 MHz processor) from 1996. Thanks to this, the latter was able to exchange messages.

Nokia 8110(1996). The famous "banana" eaten by Neo in the movie "The Matrix". The keyboard is covered with a special panel that can be moved with your fingers, thus answering calls. The microphone is located on the bottom of the panel, so that after “opening” the phone it is right next to the chin, improving the quality of speech transmission.

Nokia 6110(1997). The first GSM phone with an ARM processor, the first phone with the Snake game, and also the first phone for the masses of people around the world. Because it was actively subsidized by operators, distributing it for relatively little money complete with a contract.

Nokia 8810(1998). The world's first phone with a built-in antenna - this design eventually became the market standard, Nokia once again acted as a trendsetter.

Nokia 7110(1999). In design, this model resembled the 8110 and, in fact, was the successor to the Neo phone. Nokia 7110 is the first phone on the Series 40 platform, which has gone through a lot of iterations and is still present on the market, and also the world's first mobile phone with a WAP browser.

Nokia 3310(2000). There’s nothing to talk about here at all: brick, beloved by many of us. Below is a crash test video of the 3310 and one of the Lumia models.

Nokia 7650(2001). It became the first model based on the Symbian/S60 platform and, at the same time, the first Nokia device with a built-in camera (0.3 megapixels). I remember when the author of this article first saw the 7650 in the store, he was literally shocked. It was felt that this huge (for those times, of course) slider would change the world. Yes, Symbian has become the leading mobile OS for many years.

Nokia 1100(2003). Definitely the budget phone Nokia has ever had and quite possibly the best budget handset in the world ever mobile communications. This is confirmed by numbers: Nokia 1100 sold 250 million units. And a copy of this particular model became the billionth phone sold by a Finnish company - this happened in 2005 in Nigeria.

Nokia 8800(2005). There was no iPhone at that time, and the passion of all advanced schoolchildren was the 8800. In general, jokes aside, it was an excellent fashion phone. Beautiful, expensive and metallic. (Let us say that all Nokia claims are not “status” and cannot hold a candle to the 8800 and other representatives of this legendary series.)

Nokia N91(2006). One of the best music smartphones of all time. Texas Instruments dedicated audio chip, music keyboard, hard drive 4 GB and excellent quality sound - included.

Nokia N93(2006). A large clamshell with optical zoom - that is, the component that is so lacking modern smartphones in order to completely destroy the market for digital point-and-shoot cameras. (Yes, we remember about , but it is very strange and is still on the market alone.)

Nokia N93

Nokia N95(2007). “Complete stuffing” from Nokia, sold in millions of copies. Later, when Nokia had already begun to prepare for the sale to Microsoft and went downhill, the company allegedly invited the engineer who was once responsible for the creation of the N95. He was tasked with doing something equally successful that could return the company to its former greatness. But it didn’t work out, it didn’t work out.

Nokia 5800(2008). First response to the creators of the iPhone touch smartphone on the S60 (but not the first in Nokia history) and, as a result, a very popular music device. Perhaps, it was the last brainchild of Nokia that was widely discussed on the Internet, and in a positive way. And then a stream of strange things began: cameras without autofocus in expensive devices (just remember the C7), which “died” en masse from factory defects of the C7 and N8, the famous 41 megapixels, the transition to half-dead Windows Phone and in mid-2013 for 7 thousand rubles.

It seems that Nokia's story came to an end a few years ago, and then there was agony. One way or another, the Finnish phone maker has had a huge impact on modern world, and it’s a shame that his story is about to end. But, apparently, there could be no other options - once you have strayed from the right path, it is extremely difficult to return to it. Especially in the IT world.

Nokia has decided not to bring cheap phones to Russia anymore.
As Kommersant learned, starting next year the world's largest manufacturer cell phones Nokia stops supplying budget devices to the Russian market. The vendor will focus on models in the more expensive segment, in particular, on the N-series models. According to market participants, such a step by Nokia is quite logical, but somewhat premature, since it could undermine the vendor’s position in the low-price segment of the Russian market.

As a source familiar with the situation told the newspaper, starting next year Nokia will stop supplying 1000 series phone models to Russia, which includes such popular models on the domestic market as 1100, 1600, 1110.
They all cost up to $80. The company is reducing production of this series and will supply it only to markets in developing countries (China, India, Latin America). The manufacturer will offer Russian dealers to purchase the 2000 series (models 2600, 2650), which, however, costs somewhat more - $80-150 - and has not been replenished with interesting new products for a long time.

The source also notes that Nokia decided to focus on models in the more expensive segment - from $400, and therefore, at the beginning of the third quarter, it invited dealers to increase the share of purchases of phones in the expensive segment, including the N-series (N70, N71, N72, N91, N80, N93, etc.), the average price for which fluctuates around $450. At the same time, the vendor promised that the maximum bonus for purchases and successful sales of expensive devices will be 8%. However, the Finnish manufacturer's initiatives were not crowned with success; sales of N-series phones in the third quarter did not go very well.

Nokia, however, notes that they are not going to radically change their policy in the near future and still strive to maintain leadership in budget segment market. "We do not plan to change our strategy and will continue to pay attention to all market segments. Moreover, budget devices occupy a significant share of our sales. We strive to remain a leader in this segment and not only in Russian market", said Alessandro Fiorentino, General Director of Nokia in Russia and the CIS. According to research by the Mobile Research Group, the share of budget phones in Nokia sales is 55%, and the 1000 series accounts for 32%.

Market participants confirmed information about the cessation of supplies of budget Nokia phones. Euroset, commenting on the situation, notes that the vendor’s actions are quite logical. “This is a logical step on their part,” notes Evgeny Chichvarkin, chairman of the board of directors. “If Nokia builds a more competent distribution policy, this can lead to success.” Other vendors are confident that such manufacturer initiatives are somewhat premature. “In general, from the point of view of Nokia’s corporate and financial management, this trend is understandable. The manufacturer, through its low-cost solutions, has secured a high market share and brand loyalty, but now Nokia, as part of the emerging trend towards replacing devices with new ones, is slowly shifting its emphasis from the low-price segment to a higher one, however, the step is somewhat premature, it could reduce the company’s position in the Russian market,” notes Pavel Karaulov, managing partner of the Divizion group of companies. In his opinion, the situation in large cities is somewhat different than in the regions, where they are still more popular budget models. Dealers also note that Nokia, in order to increase sales of the N-series, reduced prices on a number of models at the beginning of the fourth quarter. “In our opinion, this is the right decision, since it automatically means an increase in sales of this line,” says Ivan Belozerov, press secretary of Tsifrograd.

According to experts, such actions by Nokia are dictated by the desire to increase its marginal profit. “Over the past three quarters, Nokia has steadily maintained a leading position in terms of costs for promoting one unit of product,” says Eldar Murtazin, leading analyst at Mobile Research Group. “In the fourth quarter of last year, this figure was approximately 70 euros, now it is at 48 euros.” however, this is still a lot, which negatively affects financial indicators Russian division. As a result, the company decided to increase its marginal profit by reducing the share of deliveries of budget devices." According to Mr. Murtazin's forecasts, the next two quarters will be difficult for Nokia in terms of maintaining market share, but in the third quarter of next year the situation will normalize, and the situation will also improve in monetary terms However, according to Mr. Murtazin, already in the first quarter of next year it can be predicted that Motorola, due to its budget solutions and close work with Euroset, will squeeze Nokia out of the budget segment.
