The Nokia 6310 is a mobile phone developed by Nokia, announced on 15 March 2001[2] and first released in December 2001 or January 2002[3][4] as the successor of the Nokia 6210. Primarily marketed as a business phone, it was for some years the dominant GSM device in the corporate world.

The 6310 was the first business class Nokia phone built on their DCT4 platform.[5] It was also Nokia's first mobile phone with Bluetooth connectivity (version 1.1). 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.[6]

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, 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.

The Nokia 6310/6310i was (and still remains)[7] very popular for its robustness, simplicity and long battery life years after being discontinued as a product.[8] Many have called the 6310i one of the best handsets Nokia ever produced.[9][10][11]

Mercedes-Benz

[edit]

Like the 6210 , the 6310 and 6310i were optionally included on several Mercedes-Benz cars.[12] 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.[13]

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.[14]

An updated variant of the 6310 was released in 2021 to celebrate the phone's 20th anniversary, featuring modern-day updates including a 2.8" color display, polyphonic ringtones, a VGA rear camera and a microSD slot.[15][16]

In April 2024, a refresh of the model was launched, with the only new change being a USB-C port.[17]
