810

The Nokia 810 was a car phone designed to be installed in vehicles. The promotional material suggested it was well suited to commercial vehicles such as "company cars, vans and trucks". Nokia had worked hard on the user interface challenge of how to use a phone while driving and this phone introduced “a highly developed interface centered on function keys and the Nokia Navi wheel”. Users could press the wheel to activate the phone and answer calls. They could also spin the wheel to control the volume. Voice dialling and other voice commands were offered to minimize the time a user needed to touch the handset. Call information and received text messages appeared on a separate large-font backlit display. The unit had built-in Bluetooth allowing users to wirelessly download new contacts a compatible mobile phone. The Nokia 810 car phone could also be used as a data modem and could be connected to a laptop either wirelessly via Bluetooth or using the RS232 interface. The Nokia 810 car phone was also marketed as “a smart investment for companies where people share cars” as it offered the ability to have two separate user profiles so each driver could store their own voice commands, contacts, ringtones, and messages. The Nokia 810 car phone consisted of five main components: Radio Unit TFE-4R
