Yes, Nokia made too many phones, and that was not a bad thing. Other phone manufacturers made some wild concept models too, sometimes. Phone design in general was much more diverse in the 00s. I actually enjoyed flipping through phone catalogs and reading reviews. Compare that to today, when every single phone out there is an awkwardly huge glass slab with minor design variations on the back side. > it also made it almost impossible to create an app market. All those Nokia phones form two categories in terms of the software they ran: the firmware that was basically the same across all Nokia non-smart phones (S40 it was called IIRC?), and Symbian. Both were capable of running J2ME apps, and Symbian also supported native ones.
