The Nokia 9210 Communicator is a third-generation Communicator series mobile phone produced by Nokia, announced on 21 November 2000[2] and released in June 2001. It greatly improved on the second-generation Nokia 9110 Communicator, providing a colour main screen and using an ARM processor. It is one of the few mobile phones able to send and receive fax.

It was the first device to run on the Symbian OS platform,[3] version 6, succeeding version 5 of EPOC. It also introduced Nokia's Series 80 interface, which was the result of Symbian Ltd.'s 'Crystal' design.[4]

It is used as a normal though bulky mobile phone in closed mode; when it is flipped open it can be used like a very small notebook computer with a 640 × 200 screen.[1] The earpiece and microphone are located on the back so one must hold it with the front screen and keypad facing out to make a call. The phone also has speakerphone functionality.

The 9210 Communicator's success helped Nokia overtake both Palm and Compaq to become the leading 'mobile data device' vendor in Western Europe in the third quarter of 2001, when it had a 28.3 percent share in the market.[5]

Nokia 9290

[edit]

The American variant of the 9210i is the Nokia 9290 supporting GSM-1900, first introduced on 5 June 2001 and eventually, after a year-long delay, released on the continent in June 2002.[6]

[edit]

In the music video for "Dilemma" by Nelly featuring Kelly Rowland, the Nokia 9210 phone can be observed being utilized by Kelly Rowland. However, to the amusement of more technically savvy viewers, the plot of the music video shows the singer typing the alleged message in a spreadsheet application instead of an actual messaging app, which has led to jokes and memes about this video to circulate internet even years after the release of the video.

Another instance of the Nokia 9210 appearing in movies was in the 2003 film Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, where the antagonist character T-X, played by Kristanna Loken, can be seen using the phone as a dial-up modem at the beginning of the movie.
