Announced in February 1999, the Nokia 7110 was the first mobile phone with a WAP browser, an early taste of the internet in your pocket. It was also the first phone to use T9 predictive text for writing messages. Like the 8110 before it, it had a sliding keypad cover, but the 7110 added a spring release: press a small catch on the back and the cover shot open. That is the exact move people remember from The Matrix, even though the phone in the film was actually a modified 8110. Instead of up and down keys, it used a scroll wheel Nokia called the Navi roller. It came with Snake II, and it connected to computers through an infrared port on top.
