For example, the address book on the phone interface was the same as the contacts within the Communicator interface and so on. Nokia used the term 'interfaces' to stress the point that these two functions were being provided by the same underlying hardware and that this device was not simply two devices enclosed within the same case. However, when opened it revealed a full QWERTY keyboard and large screen. When closed it looked like an oversized conventional mobile phone with strong similarities to the Nokia 2110. The 9000 Communicator had two interfaces. The term smartphone had not really been used at this point, and first appeared in relation to a mobile phone with the launch of the Ericsson R380 in 1999. It was developed at Nokia’s offices in Tampere, Finland and was described as a “Communicator” as it was considered to be a completely new product category. It was a revolutionary device that stunned the industry when it was launched. Six further Communicator devices followed over the next 11 years. It was the first product in its Communicator range. The Nokia 9000 Communicator was announced at the CeBIT exhibition in 1996.
