What was the first comercially sold colour screen mobile phone?

Question

Me and a friend are having an argument about it being sony or nokia. I think it was the Sony Ericsson T68i. He thinks it was a nokia but can't remember what model number.

I tried searching google but can't find an answer.

Can anyone tell us the model number of the Nokia, and when it and the Sony Ericsson T68i were both released.

Answer 1

Wasn't it one of those Japanese phones not sold out of Japan?

Answer 2

Well, Sony Ericsson T68i was apparently release end of 2001 (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Ericss... but Nokia had the 9210 Communicator in 2000 already (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_9210_... and that's only talking about a high end smartphone, smaller and cheaper Nokia phones might have been available already before that (but then again, maybe not).

Nokia 3520 and Nokia 3560 were released in 2003

Answer 3

Well i wouldn't trust wikipedia whoever threw that one into the answers... Thats hardly the most reliable source on the web.

Ill leave the direct link below, hope this helps, from what i can remember your shout with Sony Ericsson sounds right
