The Nokia 1011 was the first mass-produced GSM phone. It was sold also as Mobira Cityman 2000. The typenumer refers to the launch date, 10 November 1992.

The black handset measured 195 x 60 x 45mm and featured a monochrome display and an extendable antenna. The memory could hold 99 phone numbers. It did not yet employ Nokia's characteristic ringtone: that was only introduced in 1994. The phone operated in the 900 MHz band. It costed about 2500 DM[2]

The Nokia 1011 continued production until 1994, when it introduced the Nokia 2110 model as successor.
