The Nokia 8810 from the year 1998 is regarded as very rare among vintage cells and is an extremely coveted collector’s item. On collector rarity scales it is often classified in category 2 of 5 ("Rare"), which means that worldwide, in functional original condition, only a few pieces are traded per month on the platforms.
The 8810 was not a mass-produced product. It was an insanely expensive status symbol for business customers, with an original price of almost 1,000 euros. Accordingly, sales numbers were low.
Why is it so rare?
The former top model was a revolution in 1998.
The Nokia 8810 represents a milestone in mobile communications history as it emerged in 1998 as the first true luxury phone on the market. It revolutionized industrial design by being the first mainstream mobile phone to feature a fully integrated internal antenna. The technological revolution: no antenna anymore. Before the Nokia 8810 appeared in 1998, external stub antennas were the standard on every mobile phone. Internal antenna: Nokia engineers managed to place the antenna entirely inside the housing.
Without the cumbersome antenna, the device was extremely pocket-friendly.
The Nokia 8810 was deliberately positioned as a status symbol and premium product for the luxury segment.
Codename: Zippo. Chrome look: The highly glossy, mirror-like metal surface gave the phone a futuristic appearance.
Key technical data:
Weight: 118 grams including battery. Display: Monochrome graphic display with green backlight. Memory: Space for up to 250 address book entries. Connectivity: GSM 900 (single band) and an infrared interface (IrDA) for data transfer. Extras: Built-in calculator, alarm, and games (including the classic Snake).
This is a private sale.
