The Nokia 101 (firmware code THX-6X) was released in 1992 as Nokia's first candy bar design mobile; so called because of its resemblance to the shape of a chocolate bar. Nokia promoted the 101 as a phone designed to slip comfortably and unobtrusively into your pocket. Their advertising claimed that the Nokia 101 was the world's most portable phone. In addition to the basic phone features it provided an address book that could store up to 50 telephone numbers and associate names, single key speed dialling, call timers and both battery capacity and signal strength indicators.
