Nokia 6310

File:N6310i_gross.jpgThe Nokia 6310 was the first business class Nokia phone built on their DCT4 hardware platform.{{Cite web |title=Cellular technology history (2006 - 2007) @ Marcin's page ON-LINE |url=https://mwiacek.com/www/?q=node/8 |access-date=2025-04-30 |website=mwiacek.com}} The Nokia 6310 is GPRS and HSCSD enabled for wireless cellular communication. The handset has support for e-mail messages and text messages including pictures, and also has a WAP 1.2.1 browser. In wireless communications it also has integrated Bluetooth v1.1 and IrDA. The updated Nokia 6310i model has support for Java applications including the Java APIs: CLDC 1.0, MIDP 1.0 and Nokia UI API.

Despite the lack of polyphonic ringtones, it was the first Nokia phone (along with Nokia 8310) to feature a startup tone in ADPCM format. Polyphonic ringtones were skipped due to the relatively low speaker volume during playback of ADPCM files.{{Cite web |title=Mobile-review.com Review Nokia 6310 |url=https://www.mobile-review.com/review/nokia-6310-en.shtml |website=www.mobile-review.com}}

At CeBIT 2002, Nokia introduced an upgraded version called Nokia 6310i. It is mostly identical to the 6310 but has tri-band (GSM 900/1800/1900) reception instead of dual-band, Java and a blue-backlit LCD screen (as opposed to the earlier green backlighting). It was most commonly offered in Two-tone Silver/Grey or Two-tone Gold/Black trim; the third option, a Copper coloured variant, was much rarer.

A number of variants of the Nokia 6310 were released for the Americas. The Nokia 6340 was announced on January 7, 2002 and is a tri-mode/dual-band TDMA (800/1900), GSM (1900) and analog AMPS (800) cell phone. It was also the first GAIT compliant handset designed for roaming.{{Cite web |last=Oyj |first=Nokia |date=2002-01-07 |title=New Nokia 6340 handset to enable roaming across TDMA, GSM networks |url=https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2002/01/07/1845513/0/en/New-Nokia-6340-handset-to-enable-roaming-across-TDMA-GSM-networks.html |access-date=2025-05-31 |website=GlobeNewswire News Room |language=en-us}} The Nokia 6340i was a later updated version of this that added GSM 850.{{Cite web |last=Oyj |first=Nokia |date=2002-11-26 |title=Nokia delivers new dual band GSM and GAIT handsets to Cingular Wireless |url=https://www.globenewswire.com/ne/news-release/2002/11/26/1845459/0/en/Nokia-delivers-new-dual-band-GSM-and-GAIT-handsets-to-Cingular-Wireless.html |access-date=2025-05-31 |website=GlobeNewswire News Room |language=en-us}}

Nokia 6360 is another variant compatible with TDMA and AMPS only.{{Cite web |date=2014-07-30 |title=Nokia 6360 specs |url=https://www.phonearena.com/phones/Nokia-6360_id112 |access-date=2025-05-31 |website=PhoneArena |language=en-US}} Nokia 6370 is aCDMA cell phone and Nokia's first to make use of CDMA2000 1x data networks, released June 2002.{{Cite web |last=Oyj |first=Nokia |date=2002-10-06 |title=Nokia begins shipments of its first CDMA2000 1X handsets |url=https://www.globenewswire.com/de/news-release/2002/06/10/1843997/0/en/Nokia-begins-shipments-of-its-first-CDMA2000-1X-handsets.html |access-date=2025-05-31 |website=GlobeNewswire News Room |language=de-de}} Nokia 6385 has both CDMA and AMPS.{{Cite web |title=Nokia 6385 |url=http://www.arcx.com/sites/Nokia%206385.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030402174653/http://www.arcx.com/sites/Nokia%206385.htm |archive-date=2003-04-02 |access-date=2025-05-31 |website=www.arcx.com}}

Like the 6210 , the 6310 and 6310i were optionally included on several Mercedes-Benz cars.{{Cite web |title=Nokia 6310 und Mercedes-Freisprecher - CHIP Handy Welt |url=http://www.chip.de/artikel/Nokia-6310-und-Mercedes-Freisprecher_30587899.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715005246/http://www.chip.de/artikel/Nokia-6310-und-Mercedes-Freisprecher_30587899.html |archive-date=2014-07-15 |access-date=2014-07-14}} This phone was used on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220) (1998—2006 type), where it was held in a cradle and connected to the car's integrated car phone and media system called COMAND APS.{{Cite web |title=Viseeo article about puck |url=http://www.viseeo.com/ugC_ShowroomItem_Detail.asp?hidShowKindID=1&hidShowTypeID=0&hidShowCatID=0&hidShowID=16 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305030406/http://www.viseeo.com/ugC_ShowroomItem_Detail.asp?hidShowKindID=1&hidShowTypeID=0&hidShowCatID=0&hidShowID=16 |archive-date=2016-03-05 |access-date=2016-02-25}}

A cradle was installed in the dashboard, into which the phone was securely placed. Connectors in the cradle provided the phone with electrical power, routed the audio path through the car's audio system, and an external antenna mounted on the car's chassis replaced the internal antenna, providing a stronger signal and better signal-to-noise ratio.

In 2003, Nokia also began integrating the 6310i in some Lexus cars.{{Cite web |title=Nokia's 6310i To Be Lexus Savvy - MobileTracker |url=http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2003/04/07/nokias_6310i_to.php |access-date=2025-05-21 |website=www.mobiletracker.net}}

The 6310 competed against other multi-band and GPRS-capable business phones such as Motorola Timeport 280.{{Cite news |last=Borzo |first=Jeanette |last2=Tribune |first2=International Herald |date=2001-10-29 |title=Consumer Outlook : A Movable Feast Of Faster Phones |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/10/29/IHT-consumer-outlook-a-movable-feast-of-faster-phones.html |access-date=2025-05-23 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}{{Cite web |title=Five Wireless Phones |url=https://www.forbes.com/2001/12/10/1210giftguidephones.html |access-date=2025-05-23 |website=Forbes |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Matura |first=Jan |date=2002-08-30 |title=Aktuálně: Sony Ericsson T200 je tady!

The Nokia 6310/6310i was (and still remains){{Cite web |date=10 December 2013 |title=Why Some Smart Business Moguls Still Use 'Dumb Phones' |url=http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/230305}} very popular for its robustness, simplicity and long battery life years after being discontinued as a product.[http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/12/20/nokia_breakthrough_phone/ Nokia wins hearts, minds with breakthrough mobile], Andrew Orlowski, The Register, 20 December 2007.
