Nokia 3410


The Nokia 3410 is a mobile phone made by Nokia, the successor of the popular Nokia 3310. It was announced at CEBIT on 12 March 2002. The 3410 was the first Java phone by Nokia, as well as being one of the earliest mobile phones outside Japan to feature 3D graphics and an image editor. The Nokia 3410 was never released in the Asia-Pacific region because of the release there of an alternate variant of the 3310, called the Nokia 3315, which featured almost the same design cues as the Nokia 3410.

Hardware and software

The Nokia 3410 is compact, but somewhat heavy with a weight of 114 grams with the 825mAh removable Li-Ion battery. It has up and down buttons to assist with menu navigation and a stiff black button on the top of the phone serves as a switch to turn profiles on and off. Its display has a higher definition than its predecessor's with 96×65 pixels. It also came packed with a WAP 1.1 browser, and basic utilities such as a calculator, alarm clock, stop watch, and countdown timer. It also can store up to 10 notes as reminders and has customizable and downloadable profiles. On the entertainment side it comes with five games and a basic SMS messenger.

3D graphics

The Nokia 3410 was one of the first mobile phones released outside Japan to feature mobile 3D graphics. Despite its monochrome screen and a 96×65 screen resolution, it includes almost all of the rendering features from OpenGL ES 1.0, used in only three applications: 3D text generator, animated screensavers and Munkiki's Castles. It uses a proprietary API for the mobile phone to render 3D graphics via the baseband processor. However, rendering on this device is only displayed at a lower polygon count and it runs slower than other mobile phones that support 3D graphics.
