What reviewers say

iXBT and GSMOnline praise the large display, organiser functions and roller navigation. Both report problems with older software freezing and with regional text entry; iXBT finds later firmware substantially better, while GSMOnline's sample still needs a battery removal to recover. iXBT reports good reception and natural call sound but a weak ringtone and increased battery drain during games or WAP use. GSMOnline finds the sliding cover convenient, while its own cover remains reliable despite other users' reported failures.

Battery life detail
Removable standard BLS-2S Li-ion pack, 900 mAh; maker brochure gives 2 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes of talk and 55–260 hours standby. Optional BPS-1 is 600 mAh, BLS-2H 1,000 mAh, BMS-2S 900 mAh NiMH and BLS-4 1,500 mAh, with different handset weights and runtimes. Network, SIM and usage affect runtime.
Wired charging

Software

Operating system
Proprietary software
Software features
WAP services, predictive text entry, SMS folders, calendar, alarm, calculator, profiles and Snake II, Rotation, Opposite and Racket games. Network services and language dictionaries depend on region and software version; WAP is distinct from a modern web browser.
Release detail
Announced in February 1999 in Nokia's annual report. The report and full-year results confirm 1999 deliveries and fourth-quarter production ramp-up but do not establish the first sale month; retain the verified sale year.

Performance

Memory
The maker guide specifies space for 1,000 names with three numbers and one text field each; fewer names allow up to five numbers and two text fields per name. Counts of contacts and calendar entries are not user storage in GB.
Storage type

Mini-SIM (GSMArena), installed behind the removable battery in the maker guide. Alternate-line service requires a supporting SIM and operator; it is not two physical SIM slots.
Wi-Fi
No Wi-Fi (GSMArena).
Bluetooth
No Bluetooth (GSMArena). Infrared enables compatible phone, computer and printer communication; serial cable connection requires optional accessories and compatible software.
