The Nokia 3210 is a GSM cellular phone, announced by Nokia on March 18, 1999. With 160 million units sold, the 3210 is one of the most popular and successful phones in history.
The Nokia 3210 has a total weight of 153g. The handset measures 123.8mm x 50.5mm x 16.7mm (min), 22.5mm (max) and features customizable fascias which clip on. It was the first mass market phone with an internal antenna, after the feature had been introduced by Nokia on the luxury phone 8810 in 1998. The 3210 was designed by Alastair Curtis in Nokia's Los Angeles Design Center.
A combination of cutting-edge features such as internal antennas and T9 ensured the 3210 huge commercial success. The 3210 can also attribute much of its success to an advertising campaign aimed predominantly at young people, a first in the mobile phone industry. The inclusion of 3 games, changeable covers, an internal antenna, customisable ringtones and competitive prices led to the handset's huge popularity with those aged 15–25. It was also thinner than previous Nokia models.
