I influenced the hell outta the people that saw mine fully customed out with every possible aftermarket product soldiered, taped, cliped, and screwed onto it all matching a design aesthetic with so many LEDs.

Just restored one! I've put my sim in it just to test it out and it still works amazingly!

2:22 the 6110 was announced the year earlier, the 5110 actually came before the 6110 ;)

Excellent production, I thoroughly enjoyed that! And yes, I remember phones used to be able to connect to computers via serial cables! That is something I'd love to see work again today but I don't think it would. So let's see, the Nokia is better made, has a better texting experience with REAL buttons (which is pretty quick once you get good at it), and better call sound quality overall. Yet every Millennial in town is paying $1200 for a much more inferior piece of technology. Hmm...

Sadly the serial connection to a dialup service doesn't work anymore, as it was a carrier depended feature (the phone didn't actually do a voice call and made a special data call, which sadly the only network in America to even HAVE 2G active for a 5190, does not allow those data calls anymore, it only comes up with a call failed.). I tried to make it work, and funny enough Windows 10 of all things WAS able to Talk to the Nokia, just sadly the carrier doesn't allow those special calls anymore on their 2G network.

And thanks, I spent hours on the production of this, even stopping to go back and take more photos of my own phone and tearing one down just to get maybe one of the few inside pics of the mainboard(s) (plural) on these things.

Ah, that's really too bad, I figured it wouldn't work anymore, but certainly would have been pretty cool if it did! I appreciate all of the time and effort you put into this, it really shows!

I'm tempted to do a video on the 6110 next, which wasn't influential, but was the first Nokia with snake (the same version used on the 5110 actually), and contains the same MAD2 ASIC which houses the ARM7TDMI which was used all the way until Nokia's went with color LCD's, which is even crazier when you think about the MAD2 ASIC being used as early as 1997, then being pushed for Internet WAP support on the 3310 (maybe they added memory and clocked it a little faster).

Not really that surprising, when you consider that was sort of the norm. Old programmers with DOS games, pulling every trick out of the book, then creating their own, to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of the machine. Used to be able to run Windows (2.x) off a floppy. I have run 3.1 off a RAM drive, than was crazy fun, and fast! So there was still a lot of "do more with what you have" instead of "let them buy more so it can run this horribly inefficient code". I'm sure, however, that if you do a video on that phone, it will also be excellent, and I'll learn a few things as well!

I still hate the Nokia ring to this day. We had an annoying ad at the cinema for not spoiling the movie by having your phone ring where the guy's phone rang and he would obnoxiously shout "HELLO!? I'M AT THE CINEMA!" First thing I ever did when I had a Nokia was switch the ringtone to Kick. Simpler times!

I tend to use the "Low" ring, subtle, sounds like a regular phone, and to this day is actually the ringer most used in movies, even though no modern phone actually uses it. It's called "Low" due to the lower pitched ring, so it's actually more pleasing in sound, and doesn't annoy people.

That Nokia ringtone is actually from a real song called Gran Vals by Francisco Tárrega. You can hear it here, in all of its original glory, with real instruments, here, in the first 15 seconds: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1omH4ImubIOIZY4
