faceland:
They are sick of the Nigerians that went there.

Tanzania is more of a failed state than Nigeria. They have a dictator that is not only a women, no one has ever voted for her (president died and she inherited the position as VP).
Chai it doesn't meant that Nigeria has been removed it means they have removed the long process of registration, we can now go there easily without much stress that is what it means

Phones › Before Samsung And Iphone Duo Phones Nokia Started Foldable Phone On Java by streetpaddy(op): 10:07am On Sep 15
Long before the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold or dual-screen iPhone concepts dominated tech headlines, a quiet mobile revolution was happening in the early 2000s. Today, we view foldable phones as the pinnacle of modern luxury tech. However, the blueprint for the pocket-sized, folding powerhouse wasn't invented by modern tech giants.

Nokia started the foldable phone era decades ago, powering these groundbreaking dual-screen form factors with the legendary Java (J2ME) and Symbian platforms.

Folding a phone to reveal a massive screen is not a new idea. Nokia mastered the "duo phone" layout before today's smartphones were even a blueprint.


The Original "Cover Screen" and "Inner Screen" Layout

Today's foldables rely on a small outer screen for quick tasks and a massive inner screen for productivity. Nokia pioneered this exact dual-screen workflow using physical hinges and clever software orchestration.

Instead of a single bendable piece of glass, Nokia utilized premium mechanical hinges to bridge two separate user experiences:

The Cover Experience: On the outside, a traditional, compact phone screen handled dialing numbers, checking SMS, or viewing the clock.

The Full Screen Experience: Flipping the device open deactivated the outer shell and instantly booted up a massive interior display paired with a full physical keyboard.


Legendary Nokia Foldables That Pre-Dated Modern Tech

Nokia experimented with radical form factors that allowed users to fold, twist, and transform their devices. Several iconic models set the stage for modern dual-screen and foldable devices.

1. The Nokia Communicator Series (9300, 9500, and E90)

The Nokia Communicator lineup is the direct structural ancestor of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold. Devices like the Nokia 9300 and 9500 looked like standard, thick brick phones from the outside. When opened horizontally like a book, they revealed a stunning, ultra-wide landscape display.

2. The Nokia 6800 and 6820 "Butterfly" Phones

Perhaps the most literal interpretation of a folding duo phone, the Nokia 6800 series featured a numeric keypad that physically flipped over the front screen. Once unfolded, the operating system instantly rotated 90 degrees, turning the device into a split-QWERTY texting machine.

3. The Nokia N90 and N93 "Transformer" Phones

Before content creation was a career, Nokia built the N90 and N93. These devices featured a multi-axis hinge. Users could fold the screen up like a laptop, or twist the display vertically to turn the phone into a handheld camcorder.


Powered by Java (J2ME): The Original App Ecosystem

What made these early Nokia foldables so ahead of their time was their ability to run third-party software. Long before the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, there was Java ME (Micro Edition).

Nokia's Java-powered operating systems allowed these folding devices to be highly versatile:

- True Multitasking: While standard phones could only text, Nokia's Java-backed platforms allowed users to open massive enterprise documents, spreadsheets, and early mobile web browsers on the large interior screens.

- Responsive Gaming: Java games dynamically adapted to Nokia's unique screen resolutions when a user unfolded their device.

- Developer Flexibility: Developers wrote apps in Java that could recognize when a phone's physical layout changed, altering the UI to match the unfolded state.


Why Nokia Deserves the Crown

Samsung perfected the flexible OLED panel, and Apple perfected the modern smartphone ecosystem. However, Nokia invented the behavior of the foldable phone.

They proved to the world that users wanted a device that was small enough to fit in a pocket, yet capable of unfolding into a massive workstation. They achieved this through mechanical engineering, incredible durability, and the power of Java software.

The next time a modern smartphone unfolds, remember that Nokia built that exact bridge twenty years ago.
