The Nokia Communicator is a brand name for a series of business-optimized smartphones marketed by Nokia Corporation, all of which appear as normal (if large) phones on the outside, and open in clamshell format to access a QWERTY keyboard and an LCD screen nearly the size of the device footprint.

Nokia Communicators have Internet connectivity and clients for Internet and non-Internet communication services. The earlier 9000 series Communicators introduced features which later developed into smartphones. The latest Communicator model, the Nokia E90 Communicator, is part of the Nokia Eseries.

The Nokia 9300 and 9300i (running Symbian OS version 7.0s) are very similar to the Nokia 9500 but were not marketed under the Communicator name by Nokia. Likewise, the Nokia E7 (running Symbian^3) from 2011 is also similar to the Communicator series, but not marketed as it.

Movies

  • The first Nokia smartphone in the movies was Nokia Communicator 9000: Val Kilmer as The Saint used the device to foil the plans of a villainous Russian oligarch back in 1997.[6]
  • In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines the Terminatrix (T-X), played by Kristanna Loken, hijacks a silver Lexus SC 430 and uses a Nokia 9210 inside the car to dial-up a remote link to a local phone systems server.
  • In Bad Company (2002) the special phone used by Chris Rock is the Nokia 9210.[citation needed]
