Wow, excellent video! It blew my mind and I had no idea you could run games on this phone! However, it was surprising that you can’t use regular headphones and instead need to buy proprietary ones. Also, just to clarify, I didn’t lose the small screw at 13:54, it was already like that! 🤣🤣

Microsoft is to blame, Stephen Elop was a Microsoft trojan horse in my opinion (ps. MS is still at it to this day which proves my theory). Add to that, Nokia was delusional, I remember staff claiming how inferior the iPhone was compared to current/upcoming Nokia phones (functionality wise), I was confused by it at the time, because I noticed how popular it was getting day by day. Yes, I worked in Nokia MEA, even shook hands with the man himself, Stephen Elop. I was hoping he'd save us...

I'll just explain the context: white LEDs were a very extravagant thing at the time, because we spent several decades with only red LEDs (and later green), but it was very laborious and complicated to develop the blue LED. The blue LED was only conceived in 1992, which in terms of technology is very recent. It was VERY important, because it was the missing color to produce any other color (RGB = white, yellow, pink, or any other color that comes to mind). For this reason, a few years later, everything was using blue LEDs, as if blue LEDs had become fashionable (the good old monochrome LCD with a blue backlight, which you would find in your CD player, on your car dashboard, on your computer and even in your microwave), as well as white LEDs (which until that moment were not strong enough to be used as lighting for a very large display, much less for a lamp) but having a small display, lit by LED instead of a lamp, would mean that you would have a much higher battery performance.

It was amazing to see a "pocket computer phone"-hybrid like that for the first time. He even let me see and use it for a couple minutes, it had everything a business person needed, email, built-in answering machine with alerting of a missed call in the menu, fax capabilities,... I remember him printing some serious papers in the back of the car, via bluetooth on a mobile printer - that was like nothing I've ever seen before :D Great video and thanks for the memory-unlock!

While the group was out to dinner one evening, a man approached the table and was friends with our hosts. He was a Nokia executive and he proceeded to regale us with his amazing phone that looked a whole lot like this. We were all super interested in that thing. The reindeer stew was excellent too.

Janus, you continue to be my absolute favourite creator on this platform. Your love for these old tech products, the care you take with them and how you always look deeper than the surface to appreciate their innovation is inspiring. Many creators would get one of these and spend 10 minutes laughing at it's inadequacies. However you take us on this beautiful journey with each video where you bring attention to things like the quality of their displays, the power under their hoods and the spirit of innovation in their designs. I loved seeing the wide-screen doom port running and the 3D demo at 16:18 was simply astonishing to see. The amount of power these devices had, just wow. Seeing that demo on that widescreen made me dream of an alternate future where Nokia's N-Gage had a widescreen design like these communicators and the power they had under the hood, rather than what the N-Gage was. Imagine a PSP competitor from Nokia with a widescreen display like this, how incredible that would have been. It might not have had the 3D power that the PSP had but it could have had the robust communication features of a Nokia product. When I'm back in Australia, i'd love to send my first-gen N-Gage to you to hear your thoughts. Anyway, thank you for your work on these videos and your the care with which you take with these old beasts. You are an inspiration to viewers and other creators alike. When I finish every Janus Cycle video, I find myself on eBay looking for some equally obsolete but fascinating product to make a video about. You make us feel something real with every video and I thank you for that. Keep up the good work, I excitedly await your next video. Sincerely, Tim.

I remember seeing all the Nokia phone in the early 2000s I wanted one so bad. Got my first Nokia in 2008 with the Nokia 6275I for cricket wireless. I absolutely loved that phone, had Bluetooth, RI blaster, app support, fm radio, a camera and video recorder, voice memo, and tons of goodies I can download and run on the phone. The only thing that was missing was 3G support cause 2G was soooo slow when downloading a song or app or anything bigger than a megabyte, it even had always on display and the screen was perfectly visible in direct sunlight absolutely perfect. But if I’m honest my favorite phone screen of the early 2000s was the Motorola 870 from Nextel, its bright and colorful

15:15 - that was a thing about pre 2007 mobile OS software - it was complex and detailed. I remember at Win mobile devices with stylus there were plenty examples of professional software which allowed to perform the very same tasks as the desktop versions. After 2007 mobile software really degraded to a primitive state with giant buttons which turned mobile devices to a pure content consuming role.

Notice the way, unlike Samsung and Apple, Nokia phones are easy to take apart without breaking something. With modern all glass, glued together devices you're basically going to break the screen or backplate on the first device you take apart. So in practice you need to pay someone else to do it unless you've got a stock of spare parts. And Apple go out of their way to stop you replacing anything because all the parts are paired to the baseband chip and you need Apple software to pair the new part. So in practice you need to pay them to fix it.

But the MS time would have given the opportunity to run full fledged DOS and Windows software. Many nerds would have fallen for that, further propelling special software for these phones. But they didn't, it was a closed eco system with a too small softwware base. This 9020i was actuallly more capeable in doing business software and full fledged strategy games than all the Nokia phones under MS reign. What a Joke! They tried that again with the Windows CE platform, which failed miserable as well. If I want to get locked into a closed software ecosystem I would prefer the original: Apple. But I won't ;-)

The Symbian OS, in all it's variants, accounted for 90% of the mobile phone market at it's height, and the largest software library of any mobile system. MS wouldn't have put DOS on Nokia phones... they bought Nokia in 2013, DOS was a long dead OS, and you could already use emulation to run old DOS programs. Nokia started selling Windows phones in 2011 . Windows CE didn't fail, it was extremely successful. It ran on a huge number of handheld and mobile devices. Released in 1996, it was the basis for the 'Pocket PC and 'Windows Mobile' OSs right through to Windows Phone 7. It was discontinued in 2013, but official support for it didn't end until October 2023.

That isn't true. Nokia were already having major problems in the years preceding the acquisition by MS in 2013. Nokia dropped Symbian and turned to Windows Phone in 2011, after gradually losing market share. People weren't happy with the phones Nokia were producing. Symbian devices had 70% market share in 2006, but it gradually went down after that. Sony, Motorola, Samsung and LG weren't happy either, so they deciced to drop Symbian in 2009 and 2010, going with Android and Windows Phone instead. Nokia followed suit a year later, but it was too little, too late.

It really is pretty amazing that those tubes were so small and un noticeable towards the end of their life. I've used both the IIIc and Visor Prism which had those tubes as a backlight but I never knew because they did and still do look so good. I also had a portable LCD TV and I could tell that thing had a tube, Lol Although I was familiar enough with Nokias, my grandma had one, I didn't own one until the Windows Phone era is 2014 (and even that thing was built like a tank). That said, I do remember see the Internet tablets from Nokia on display at Fry's Electronics and really wanting one, I also wanted the Sony Mylo which was another weirdo internet device. I am impressed with how nice that screen looks, color that nice and that size continued to be rare for years to come. I love that this series of phone has dedicated archive sites.

Yesterday I found a "Nokia 9130 Communicator" in a drawer in my father's room. The computer side of the phone has a 640×400 resolution backlit LCD with 16 gray shades, as such the phone is really big, as big as a modern smartphone. The phone side is unchanged from the 9110. This did not happen yesterday, or any day, or in the real world. It all played out in my mind, at around 3-4am. As such, I did not have enough time to see all the features before I had to wake up. Looks like my retro obsession is really getting to me.

Watching this video on my Nokia XR20, I would say they are still making great phones today, certainly the most rugged general purpose devices. It's always amazing seeing what these older devices could do though, even if at the time not many people could get them.

I had a Ericsson RS380 in purple and did I love hating it. Bit it was so cool. The Nokia never really appealed to me as way to brickish. But what a time to have had cellphones!

Ah yes, the only spreadsheet app that can send text messages… sadly I never got it to work, not on my 9210 or 9500. Just for fun, at the end of Nokia’s reign, list how many operating systems they had going…

With platforms like this you can really tell which developers had an interest in quality and which just really churned something out. That pinball game worked disappointingly poorly compared to stuff that was doing full on scrolling and everything.

You can get the AD-15 audio adapter, that way you can get a miniplug output for the sound. You thought Apple was breaking new ground having a dongle for the headphone out... :D I have the Nokia 9300i Communicator and it still works. I had the launch model of N900, it had some hardware issues so when I took it to service I bought the 9300i used from the repair shop to last me the duration of the repairs. I think it was the Nokia Flagship Store in downtown Helsinki.
