1)
The ringtone "Nokia tune" is actually based on a 19th century guitar
work named "Gran Vals" by Spanish musician Francisco
Tárrega. The Nokia Tune 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.
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.
LONG LIVE NOKIA
