The Nokia 6800 series are a selection of Nokia Series 40 phones with a unique fold-out QWERTY keyboard. This type of keyboard is also used in the more recent Nokia E70 which is a Nokia Series 60 Symbian-based phone. These phones were marketed as "messaging devices" - all had built-in email clients, and some had BlackBerry support.

The 6800 and 6810 had four electrical contacts at the very top of the phone for the left side of the keyboard and another four just under the screen for when the regular 12-key numeric keypad was being used. A small magnet was built into the left side of the keyboard and the phones would switch to landscape mode as soon as this was lifted up. The 6820 and 6822 had the wiring for the keypad built into the hinges without any external contacts.

Released in early 2005 and based on the same design as the 6820, the 6822 was light silver in colour and so were all the keys. The only difference was the higher resolution camera (640x480) and 65536 colour display instead of 4096. By the time it was released, the 3.5MB of memory it had was considered substandard^[2] and the phone was not kept on the market for very long. The 6822b variant supports the 850/1800/1900 MHz frequencies common in the United States.
