The Nokia 1110i is a familar looking phone - it's another version of the 1110 and 1112, but this time with a green backlight on the 96x68 pixel display as opposed to the 1110's amber backlights and the white backlight on the 1112. Exciting stuff, yes?
The feature list is somewhat short, it's a dual-band GSM phone available in 850/1900 or 900/1800 configurations. There are three inbuilt games and some polyphonic ringtones, but you can't add your own. And the 1110i comes with exchangeable covers. There's no Bluetooth, camera, MP3 player, GPRS, email client or anything else.
The backlight colour is somewhat confusing, and indeed Nokia's own press material quotes it as an amber backlight and a green one, sometimes in the same document. In fact, the original press materials for the older 1110 stated that it had an amber backlight, but the press photos showed a green one. Two paragraphs on the backlight is quite enough, but it's pretty much the most exciting feature of this phone.
Still, the 1110i weighs only 80 grams and has 3-5 hours talktime and 10-15 days standby time, it looks quite good and at just 45 Euros / 30 GBP / 55 USD before subsidy and taxes, it's an incredibly inexpensive device too.
Just in case you do feel that the Nokia 6151 is for you, then it should be available from Q3 2006.
