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".
