       10 Interesting Facts About NOKIA
       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.
