The Nokia 9000 Communicator was the first product in Nokia's Communicator series, announced at CeBIT 1996 and introduced into the market on 15 August 1996.[1] The phone weighed 397 grams (14.0 oz),[2] was powered by an Intel 24 MHz i386 CPU,[3] and had 8 MB of memory. The memory was divided between applications (4 MB), program memory (2 MB) and user data (2 MB).[2] The operating system was PEN/GEOS 3.0. The Communicator was one of the earliest smartphones on the market,[4] after the IBM Simon in 1994 and the HP OmniGo 700LX, a DOS-based palmtop PC with integrated cradle for the Nokia 2110 cellular mobile phone, announced in late 1995 and shipped in March 1996.[5]
The Communicator was highly advanced, featuring sending and receiving e-mail and fax via its 9.6 kbit/s GSM modem, and it also had a web browser and business programs.[6] It was formed of a clamshell design that opened up to reveal a monochrome LCD display with a 640 × 200 resolution and a full QWERTY keyboard similar to a Psion PDA.[2] It was priced £1,000 in the UK upon launch (equivalent to £2,000 in 2021). Then-CEO of Nokia, Jorma Ollila, said in 2012 regarding the device: "We were five years ahead."[7]
