The Nokia 8850 is a mobile phone handset manufactured by Nokia. It was a light alloy-bodied enhanced version of Nokia 8210 model with slider protection of the keypad and blue lighting of the keypad and screen. The 8850 is considered to be an un-repairable phone, thus resulting in very few active handsets in the market.[1] Today it remains a collector's item. It was introduced as a successor of an earlier model, the chrome phone Nokia 8810.
It was succeeded by the Nokia 8910, which was released in 2002.
