 Nokia 8110 is announced in 1998
Design
Nokia's 8110 - one of few models from Nokia featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the Nokia 8110 is very heavy and too big handset at 141 x 48 x 25 mm and 152 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 80 x 48 pixel is not very high but is normal for low class phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the 8110's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Nokia handsets, requiring users to inconveniently have to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting rather than just glance at it.
Ergonomics
The 8110 is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Nokia handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.Unfortunately, the keypad of the Nokia 8110 emits excess noise, but on the bright side its keys have been comfortably spaced and sized. We're not entirely happy with the design of the navigational pad and its adjacent buttons, however, as distinguishing between these less easy than it ought to be.And last,but not least, a simple two-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Single band 900 MHz connectivity isn't all the Nokia 8110 has to offer: there's also support for SMS, .and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the 8110 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 2 hours talk time or 70 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The Nokia 8110 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Nokia 8110 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Nokia design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
