Nokia 1110
Discontinued 2nd June 2005
It has been a while since we've seen
anything this basic from Nokia - the Nokia 1110 is firmly
at the very bottom of Nokia's handset range, along with
the Nokia 1600 launched
at the same time. If you want the cheapest Nokia on
the market, then this is it. So, what does it actually
do?
Well, the Nokia 1110 is a monochrome
phone with a 96x68 pixel display. Unusually, the display
is inverted and has an amber backlight. At 80 grams,
the 1110 is very lightweight and measures a pretty standard
104x44x17mm. Talktime is around 3-5 hours with 10-15
days standby, which again is about standard for a phone
of this size and weight.
There's no Java on the 1110, but it
does have polyphonic ringtones but they appear not to
be downloadable - Nokia says that these ringtones are
"MP3 quality", but of course that doesn't mean
that they are MP3 ringtones. There are three built-in
games.
The Nokia 1110 is a dual-band phone
in GSM 900/1800 or 850/1900 configurations depending
on market. There's no GPRS either (and certainly no
Bluetooth), but the 1110 does come with a built-in handsfree
function and supports predicitive text messaging, has
an alarm clock and stopwatch. Unlike some other low-cost
Nokias, there's no FM radio.
OK.. it is 2005 and this seems
awfully basic, but we did recently look at the Sagem
myX1-2 so it proves that manufacturers still think
there's a market. Despite the low-tech approach, the
Nokia 1110 is quite a smart looking phone and promises
to be easy to use too. Expected availability is sometime
in Q3, probably priced at around €70/$80/£50 or so.
