The story of the Nokia 8110
Released in 1996, the 8110 had a gently curved body that followed the line from ear to mouth and a sliding cover that protected the keypad. Slide it down and you were ready to talk. That shape earned it the nickname 'banana phone', and a modified version with a spring-loaded slide appeared in a famous 1999 science-fiction film. Nokia revived the design as a 4G phone in 2018, but the 1996 original is the one collectors want.
Does the Nokia 8110 work in Canada?
The Nokia 8110 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
- Sliding keypad cover
- Curved body
- Monochrome screen
- A mechanism worth fidgeting with on any desk
- A gift for anyone who owned one, or a prop for film, theatre and photo shoots
