Phones10 Things You Didnt Know About Nokia. by abubaka(op): 8:19am On Dec 23, 2009
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 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. font.

TravelRe: US Visa Lottery: Is It Genuine? by abubaka(m): 4:07pm On Nov 22, 2007
guys,
i would want you to ve it at the back of ur mind that US doesnt just give visa to anybody i.e even if u applied for the visa lottery,they will screened skilled persons frm unskilled persons and some other criterias b4 even granting you the visa.
they just dont want a liability thats why they will make sure they give it to somebody who is productive and who will positively affect their economy,not just tailors,bus drivers,bankers etc.

ComputersRe: MTN Wireless Internet For Laptops? by abubaka(m): 2:51pm On Oct 19, 2007
@all,

it all depends on wat u want,there is the mtn shackpod which cost N20000 and monthly access fee of N12000 and the speed is 912kps and is accessible anywhere mtn network is active.
Also there is the GPRS service,which you can equally make use of with ur laptop (either connecting it wit USB cable or thru bluetooth) and thats the one i ve been using for all this while nd is reliable.The speed is originally 115kps,but u can tinker it to make it 912kps and if you download either google web accelerator or opera on the system,the speed wld be fantastic.The charges for that one is 60k per kilobyte.

my people,even though Ribadu's fight against corruption was selective,i think we should still salute the man,cos we ve to start frm somewhere.I can now bet wit my life that because EFCC and Ribadu's drive to get rid of corrupt officials,most of these new elected officials wld be very carefull in how they deal wit public funds,thereby resulting to minimal mismanagement of tax payers money.
It was a nice idea of setting up EFCC and i blive one day,Nigeria wld be corrupt free

BusinessRe: On Bank PHB Basketball Ad by abubaka(m): 12:47pm On May 14, 2007
thats the problem we re havin in this part of the world;thats why we would never develop.Why do countries like india,China and USA are now controllin the world economy?Is because they decided to adopt mother language as their means of communication and way of life.
Now here in the third world countries,we re still using foreign languages as a means of communication,which most of the populace are finding it difficult to communicate wit.First,we go to school to learn this english language and still,no matter the bnumber of years,er re still havin difficulty to pass messages sometimes.
Would u agree wit me that ordinary nigerian understands BABABLUE advert nore than Bank PHB advert?Why?because,a local language was used to pass a message and is quite understandable.
So,pls lets forget about all those foreign methods of passing a message to the general public.

FamilyRe: Is Lack Of Money The Leading Cause Of Marital Unhappiness And Divorce? by abubaka(m): 1:22pm On Apr 29, 2007
yes bro,i can testify to that money is very very essential in marital life.
I once experienced it,my brother was sometime back retrenched from UBA?STB.Before the incident,the wife had been very loyal and loving.but cld u blieve dat few months after the retrenchment and the hell lot of money that the husband has been remitting is no longer coming;the wife just started misbehaving and always try picking offence on decisions taken by the husband.
Since then,i got to degist the whole and finally arrived at the fact the reason behind all these problems bw them is because the husband is no longer making money like before and is not really lavishing the little he got from former employer.
Bros,try putting good financial structures on ground before venturing into marrying,because havin a family is more than just marryin ur wife and feeding her.
