Source-derived summary

The Nokia 3110 classic is a mobile phone handset, manufactured by Nokia in Hungary and released for sale in 2007. It is a budget model with similar features to the Nokia 6300. Although the phone bears the same model number as the 1997 Nokia 3110, it was not directly derived from (and has little similarity with) this model.

The Nokia 3110 classic is a "candybar" cameraphone which uses the Series 40 operating system and operates on GSM networks operating at 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, or 1900 MHz, supporting EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) connections. In some regions the phone was marketed as the Nokia 3110c, which is the same as the 3110 classic.

The phone also supports Bluetooth, FM radio, and music playback, and supports microSD cards up to 2 GB. The microSD card slot is under the battery cover, which means it's not hot swappable. The phone can be connected to a computer via USB, allowing data transfer and PC synchronization.

The phone has large buttons in its keypad which make typing messages and e-mails easy. The 1.8-inch display supports a maximum display resolution of 128 × 160.

Variants

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2007 cell phone model manufactured by Nokia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1766174. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2007, 1997, 1800 and 1900.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
