If you were asked to name the top selling smartphone of all time, lemme guess…perhaps you would mention an iPhone model or perhaps a Samsung Galaxy model. Or perhaps you wouldn’t. But if you mentioned either, you would be wrong.

The top selling smartphone of all time belongs to an older generation. Nokia 6600 is a 2003 smartphone running Series 60 2nd Edition (in other words, Symbian OS ). It had a distinctive physical design that stood it out from the crowd, but it was also the most advanced product ever launched by Nokia at the time. Have a look.



The Nokia 6600 sold 150 million units in its lifetime, and is number 6 on the list of top 10 bestselling mobile phones ever. All the other phones on that list are feature phones. No other smartphone has made it there till date. Production of the 6600 was stopped in 2007.

For perspective, the top selling iPhone model is the iPhone 5 with 70 million units sold, and the bestselling Samsung smartphone is the Galaxy S4 with 80 million units sold.

A smartphone is a mobile phone with an advanced mobile operating system (symbian is an Operating System) which combines features of a personal computer operating system with other features useful for mobile or handheld use. It typically combines the features of a cell phone with those of other popular mobile devices, such as personal digital assistant (PDA), media player, GPS navigation unit and digital camera. Most smartphones can access the Internet and can run third-party apps.
Wikipedia

so technically it fits the 2003 definition of a smartphone, but 13 years have passed and it obviously is archaic and most definitely won't fit the 2016 requirements for a smartphone.

Yeah the fone was a bomb den. I really made some cool cash back then. Cos I do use it to play some 3D games like tombraider, sonic etc. Tombraider was so interesting because of the graphic that guys do pay like 500 naira for me to install it for them in their 6600. grin

Lol, you're trying to school me on something you obviously are the ignorant about.

This isn't even a matter of opinion, Windows Mobile and Symbian devices were some of the 1st smartphone OS and till today Symbian still does a few things better than your Android and IOS like multitasking.

Nokia 6600, reminds me of the game Prince of Persia. The phone was a must have then but for free, very few would still desire it now. Same faith possibly awaits all the new expensive phone been released now in few yrs time.
what about Brothers in Arm and Asphalt4?
