The story of the Nokia 5110
The 5110 launched in 1998 as a tough, simple phone for the mainstream, with Xpress-on covers that clipped on in seconds so owners could change colour on a whim. It shipped with Snake, which had debuted on the 6110 a year earlier, and helped turn the game into a shared memory for a generation. Its stub antenna and big keys make it one of the most recognisable shapes of the late 1990s.
Does the Nokia 5110 work in Canada?
The Nokia 5110 supports 2G only. Canada has switched off its 2G networks, so it cannot connect to a carrier or make calls here. Everything else works: it powers on, charges, and runs its offline features. Why old phones stop working in Canada.
What it is good for today
- Xpress-on covers
- Snake
- Stub antenna
- A pocket alarm clock and timer that runs for days on one charge
- A gift for anyone who owned one, or a prop for film, theatre and photo shoots
