BFD: Nokia 6800

The Nokia 6800 series is a Nokia Series 40 phones with a unique fold-out QWERTY keyboard. This is used in the more recent in the E-series pone. These phones were marketed as “messaging devices” – all had built-in email clients, and some had BlackBerry support.

The 6800 and 6810 have a series of shortcut keys with  four electrical contacts at the top of the phone for the left side of the keyboard and another four just under the screen for when the regular 12-key numeric keypad was being used. A small magnet was built into the left side of the keyboard and the phones would switch to landscape mode as soon as this was lifted up. The 6820 and 6822 had the wiring for the keypad built into the hinges without any external contacts.

Otherwise the phone attracts its users with color display and well spaced message buttons that can be of a great help for message lovers.
