Nokia 2110i

The Nokia 2110i is a later version of the Nokia 2110 released in 1994. It comes with more memory and a protruding antenna knob. The 2110 and 2110i were Nokia's flagship business phones from 1994 to 1997. The simple, understated design made this phone an instant classic and the definitive business phone of the mid 90s. It won What Cellphone's Business Phone Award for two years. Nokia's adverts were bullish enough to call it 'Simply the best digital phone in the UK', quite a claim! During its lifetime the Nokia 2110/2110i sold twenty million units, not bad for a business phone. The Nokia 2110 is quite rare, whereas the Nokia 2110i is much more common. The 2110 has a smaller rounded aerial. There are also four blue dashes under the screen of the 2110i. These are not present on the 2110. Another clue is the firmware number. The 2110's firmware number is NHE-1XN and the 2110i's is NHE-4NX. To check the firmware number, remove the battery and it is printed on the back of the phone. There is currently little difference in value between the two phones, but this is likely to change in the future.
