For many, Nokia’s colourful candy bar-shaped 3210 outlined the cell phone after it was released in 1999. With more than a hundred and sixty million bought, it grew to become a bestseller for the Finnish firm. The 3210 did more than just introduce the cellphone to new audiences. The 3210 is regarded to be the first telephone with an inside antenna and the first to return with games like Snake preloaded.
