Nokia

Saturday, February 6, 2010


It is really interesting to know some information about a world famous mobile company. I came across some information about Nokia from my friends which really interesting.
Do you know when and through which network the first GMS call was made? It was in 1991 at Helsinki by a Nokia-supplied network and the prime minister of Finland Harri Holkeri made the first GSM call and the interesting thing is, he was using a Nokia phone.
Each and every one knows about the “Nokia Tune”. It is a guitar work by Spanish musician Francisco Tárrega in 19th century and the name is "Gran Vals". The same name ("Gran Vals") was present in the Nokia phone. But later in 1998 it was changed to “Nokia Tune”.
Have you ever seen number 4 in any of the Nokia handset model number; you can’t because number 4 is considered as unlucky in Southeast/East Asia.
The tone available on Nokia phones when receiving SMS is Morse code for "SMS" and the "Ascending" SMS tone is Morse code for the slogan "Connecting People”. Again the Standard SMS tone is Morse code for "M".
Eric Spiekermann designed the Nokia corporate font AgfaMonotype Nokia Sans font. Before using the current font, Nokia was using Agfa Rotis Sans Font in its mobile phone user’s guides and also in advertisements.
