Nokia Phones

On this page you will find Nokia phones. These phones are mostly analogue, so cannot be used. For a history of Nokia see Wikipedia . Nokia started making hand held mobile phones at around the same time as Motorola, but were always second best to the American giant. However, the Nokia 101 launched in 1992 changed all that, Nokia went on to become the largest manufacturer of phones in the world and the candy bar shape of the phone can still be seen in today's phones. Here is a poster of Nokia phones from the early 80's to 2006. Nokia timeline

Nokia P-30

Nokia P-30 made in 1989. Serial No - 00491939.

Phone with battery attached measures 19cm high x 3.5cm wide x 8.5cm deep. Antenna is 14cm long. Weight of package is 1.3kg.

This is the most collectible of all the mobile phones after the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x. It is almost identical to the Radio Shack CT-300/301, (the batteries are interchangeable), but because it was badged as a Nokia and because they were made in much smaller quantities, prices are much higher. This one has a Crown logo on the phone and charging cradle. The phone is in good condition with some wear and tear. The keypad and screen are very good and there are only small marks on the rest of the phone. The charger has some scuff marks and some scratches. The battery looks newer than the rest of the phone and is probably a replacement, which is not surprising as these type of phones were notorious for poor battery life.

The phone powers up, the battery holds some charge, and we guarantee the phone to power up for 30 days. See The Smallprint for details.

Package comprises of the phone, battery, antenna, charging stand, user manual and a new non-original adaptor with a UK type plug.

A very rare opportunity to buy one of the most sought after vintage mobile phones.

Telekom C Pocky

Telekom C Pocky (Nokia) made in 1992. Serial No - 920996.

Phone measures 19.5cm high x 7.5cm wide x 3.5cm deep. Antenna is 27.5cm long. Weight of package is 1.65kg.

This phone was made by Nokia for the German market. It used to work on the C-Net network which is now defunkt and used a large SIM card, which pushes into a slot in the top of the phone. The phone is in excellent condition and looks to have been little used. There is a little paint missing from the dial button, but this looks to have been chipped, rather than have been caused by wear. There are two batteries, but only one seems to hold a charge. It powers up the phone which displays a message to insert the SIM card. The charger, antenna, polystyrene insert and paperwork are all in very good condition. The box is intact, but has some wear and tear.

This phone is guaranteed to power up for 30 days from delivery. See The Smallprint for full details. Package comprises of the box, polystyrene insert, phone, two batteries, antenna, charger with a european 2-pin plug, user manual (in German) and some original paperwork (in German).

Very rare to find one of these phones in its original box.

Nokia 9000 Communicator

Nokia 9000 Communicator made in 1996. Model - RAE-1N.

Phone measures 17cm high x 6cm wide x 3.5cm deep. Antenna is 4.5cm long. Weight of package is 400g.

The Nokia 9000 Communicator was the first ever smart phone. For the specs of the phone see Nokia 9000 specs

This example is in perfect working order. We tested many of the functions and could not find any problems with how it works. However the outside LCD screen on the phone has some lines missing (See photo - lines missing on numbers 4,5 & 6). There is also a small crack on the plastic near the antenna and a larger crack at the other end of the phone (see photos). The cracks do not affect the phone's functions and aren't really noticeable.

Overall the outside of the phone is in good used condition, with general wear and tear and the inside of the phone is in excellent condition. The battery holds lots of charge, which is unusual for these phones as most of the batteries have failed over the years. The charger plugs into the base of the phone and although it works well, it has been taped up.

The phone wroks on GSM900 and GSM1800 so will work on many phone networks. See GSM Availability to see which networks will work on this phone. In the UK, the phone will work on all networks (not 3G). It takes a standard small SIM card which pushes into a slot in the battery compartment.

It is guaranteed to work for 30 days from delivery - See The Smallprint for details.
