Info: Every Nokia Phone Ever Made (Time Line)

MORAL OF THIS STORY: LEAVE TOWN WITH NON-CONTRACT UNLOCKED T-MOBILE CELL PHONE, YOU'LL GET NO MINUTES INFO FROM THEN ON!

I have a 1208 Nokia unlocked that I just bought February 2nd. It took me until April 25th to find out how many minutes I had left with T-Mobile. I was shown the #999# then green phone method of finding my minutes, on my prepaid, non contract T-Mobile phone. Pretty neat, I thought. I then left Atlanta for a trip north. Several hours later in Paducah, Kentucky, the feature wouldn't work. It has not worked since. The same T-mobile store in Kennesaw that had shown me, couldn't get it to work either. He took a locked phone off the shelf, placed my sim in it. Voila, it worked. He suggested the Nokia phone was at fault. The T-Mobile tech on the phone said it was not a fair test. A locked phone off a t-mobile shelf, has the network programmed into it, while the cheap Wal Mart unlocked 1208 has nothing but the original clerk startup at the store. And you can't leave the Atlanta service area without losing it.

Hey samkata, may I ask, why do you hate Nokia? What you think is their biggest problem?

I used over a dozen of Nokia phones but so far I haven't had any problems with my them, the quality of Nokia phones are undoubtedly the best. You can use them in what ever manner you want.

I believe Nokia has cell phones for kinds of people, for instance XpressMusic range for music lover & E-Series range for workaholics. What kind of phones do you like samkata? Im sure there must atleast one Nokia phone which you may have liked, which one is it?

Hope to hear from you soon. Take K

wow. i love the brick nokias...classic!

i think nokia is the best cellphone factuary

I have a Nokia 3110c phone. People compare Nokia phone with the brick, you can throw it freely ^^

I completely agree with ViTip89, Nokia phones can be thrown freely. nokia phones are really worth buying......

Hey let me inform you guys, My dad bought a new brick (i mean Nokia) couple of days ago, he bought the E51. The phone is really good & has some cool features in it.

Anyways guys, I just looked at the phone and said to myself wow. Nokia E-series ROCKS!

cool

Cool, my first portable cellphone was a nokia 6110, that model rules

Here it is, without further ado, broken into four sections:

* Reviews - a summary table of all reviews around the US launch date
* European Launch - news coverage for the european launch on and around Sep 18th
* Post-Launch - generic news coverage on and after Jun 29th up to the european Launch on Sep 18th
* From Announcement To Launch
* The Early Years

I am also maintaining a page for the Safari variant that runs on the device and putting together some notes (for my own reference) on the hardware.

Most of the items I have collected over the years are listed in the Previously and From Announcement To Launch pages.

The Post-Launch page will henceforth be updated (as time allows) with news coverage to give readers a feel for the post-launch Hype.

My own opinions are interspersed where appropriate, and you can also read my first impressions (post-launch) and mull on the fact that it doesn't seem to include any particular Assistive Technologies.
Other Resources

Other stuff of interest that doesn't yet deserve a page of its own:

* Wallpaper Template, including pixel perfect dimensions.
* The iPhone Dev Wiki, that includes a list of GSM service codes - some of which are mandatory for any device.
