The original 8110 was first launched in 1996 and was popular for having a "slider". The 8110 also appeared in the science-fiction movie ‘The Matrix’ in 1999.

Nokia has not revamped this phone again. This time, it is 4G-enabled.

You can answer calls on the new 8110 4G by simply sliding the case open and also cutting the call by snapping the slider shut.
