10 THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT NOKIA PHONES

1)..The ringtone "Nokia tune" is actually based
on a 19th century guitar work named "Gran
Vals" by Spanish musician Francisco Tárrega.
The NokiaTune was originally named "Grande
Valse" on Nokia phones but was changed to
"Nokia Tune" around 1998 when it became so
well known that people referred to it as the
"Nokia Tune."

2)...The world's first commercial
GSM call was made in 1991 in Helsinki over a
Nokia- supplied network, by Prime Minister of
Finland Harri Holkeri, using a Nokia phone.

3)
...Nokia is currently the world's largest digital
camera manufacturer, as the sales of its
camera-equipped mobile phones have exceeded
those of any conventional camera manufacturer
e.g we can see nokia 808 with 41 megapixel even
some digital camera dont have up to that

4)
...The "Special" tone available to users of Nokia
phones when receiving SMS (text
messages) is actually Morse code for "SMS".
Similarly, the "Ascending" SMS tone is Morse
code for "Connecting People,"
Nokia's slogan. The "Standard" SMS tone is
Morse code for "M" (Message).

5)...The Nokia corporate font (typeface) is
the AgfaMonotype Nokia Sans font, originally
designed by Eric Spiekermann. Its
mobile phone User's Guides Nokia mostly
used the Agfa Rotis Sans font

6)...In Asia, the
digit 4 never appears in any Nokia handset
model number, because 4 is considered unlucky
in many parts of
Southeast/East Asia.

7)...Nokia was listed as the 20th most admirable
company worldwide in Fortune's
list of 2006 (1st in network communications,
4th non-US company).

8)...Unlike other modern day handsets, Nokia
phones do not automatically start the call timer
when the call is connected, but start it when
the call is initiated. (Except for Series 60
based handsets like the
Nokia 6600) 9)...Nokia is sometimes called
aikon (Nokia
backwards) by non-Nokia mobile phone
users and by mobile software developers,
because "aikon" is used in various SDK
software packages, including Nokia's own
Symbian S60 SDK.

10)...The name of the town of
Nokia originated from the river which flowed
through the town. The river itself,
Nokianvirta, was named after the old
Finnish word originally
meaning sable, later
pine marten. A species of this small, black-
furred predatory animal was once found in
the region, but it is now
extinct.
