The Nokia 3210 is a mobile phone company Nokia.
It came on the market in 1999 and was the first commercially successful mobile phone without an external antenna. Terms of functionality, Nokia is oriented with the cheap 3210 on the previous model Nokia 6150, the first dual-band mobile phone from Nokia, which was published a year earlier as a model of the upper price range.
Equally innovative in this price range was the introduction of the T9 function, which made it possible to write SMS on demand comfortable. Today a matter of course, the launch of the phones a rare luxury. The integrated antenna had the 3210 Chic and modern than the then customary mobile phones in which the antenna often protruded several inches from the housing. However, the antenna technology was not yet mature, so the frequency of repairs took a peak value of all Nokia phones ever produced. The coated with silver ceramic antenna easily broke at their attachment, whereby the RF transmitter power amplifier was overloaded by the now very poor standing wave ratio and precipitated.
What the 3210 also made it one of the most popular models of the time, the possibility (called by Nokia ' Xpress-on " ) the look with interchangeable cover plates could be changed individually, which was introduced in the previous model and continued during 3210 in an improved form. In 3210, not only the front tray, but also the back cover was replaced, resulting in a boom of creative mobile phone design triggered, which continued even in the subsequent models.
The delivered in Germany model of 3210 had, in contrast to those produced for the Asian market models no vibrating alert. With a little skill but you could be retrofitted a vibration motor and activate the firmware in German models.
The lighter and more functional successor to Nokia 3310 was much that was introduced in 3210, continued in an improved form. There is hardly reduced error rate, however, the antenna technology was mature after Nokia had made fundamental design changes.
