For a long time, Nokia made
smartphones that ruled the world.
The Symbian smartphone platform
became synonymous with Nokia and even as recently as 2010, Symbian devices formed close to 50% of the total global smartphone market.
Between 2002 and 2010, Nokia
released at least 20 blockbuster
smartphones, each one unique in
design and appeal.
We take a look at Nokia's five most iconic phones...
The oddly designed (by today’s
standards) Nokia 7650 was the first
ever Nokia smartphone powered by
the popular Symbian Series 60
platform.
It was officially released in 2002 and even then, the phone
boasted of VGA camera (the first in
any Nokia phone), Bluetooth,
infrared remote, installable
applications and a web browser.
The icon-based user interface could be navigated using the 5-way
joystick while the sliding keyboard
kept the overall size in check.
The 7650 marked the start of Nokia’s dominance in the smartphone world.
Even though the same Symbian
Series 60 platform was used by other brands like Sony Ericsson, Motorola, and Samsung — it was Nokia that have the most successful run with it.
