1) "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.

No matter hw many androids we buy. We Nigerians know the truth even if we refuse to acknowledge it. Since the dawn of mobile phones, Nokia has been the number 1 phone manufacturer in the world.

I was thinking yopu were gonna tell us the names of the two persons who are trying to reach each others hands when we put on our nokia phone. That would have been fantastic so I believe all these facts are just coke-astic then
