Its modular design with three interchangeable Xpress-on covers made the phone highly customisable, appealing to a younger and fashion-conscious demographic. It was important historically as a symbol of the transition from purely functional phones to devices combining style and advanced features, and it gained substantial popularity for its compact size, robust build, and user-friendly interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Manufacturer<\/strong>: Nokia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Type<\/strong>: Mobile Phone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Release Date<\/strong>: 2001<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cost at release<\/strong>: CAD ~$1,500 (adjusted for inflation)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MIPS<\/strong>: ~less than 1 MIPS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"hardware-specifications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW36078203 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW36078203 BCX0\">Hardware Specifications<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>CPU<\/strong>: ARM-based embedded processor (low power, estimated &lt;1 MIPS)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Memory<\/strong>: 8 MB internal storage (primarily for phonebook and SMS)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Display<\/strong>: Monochrome graphic LCD, 96 x 65 pixels resolution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Connectivity<\/strong>: GSM 900\/1800 MHz, GPRS support (class 6)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Radio<\/strong>: Built-in FM radio receiver<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Battery<\/strong>: Removable Li-Ion, approximately 850 mAh, standby up to 165 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Additional Features<\/strong>: Infrared port for data transfer, polyphonic ringtones, SMS with T9 input<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weight<\/strong>: 79 grams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Donated by<\/strong>: Dr. Robert Biddle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/vintage-computing\/item\">Vintage Computing Collection<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nokia 8310 [Vin169] The Nokia 8310, launched in 2001, was notable for being one of the first Nokia phones to support GPRS data transfer and include a built-in FM radio, marking a step forward in mobile functionality for the era.
