The Nokia 8290, GSM 1900 Mhz mobile phone for use in the United States and Canada is a little bigger than the size of a cigarette lighter but packed with features. The phone has been introduced in 2000 and was the smallest phone on the wireless market. If you need almost every GSM feature and want it in the smallest possible package I recommend this phone. If you need Internet access and data services or have big hands then you should look for another wireless decision.
