Nokia...Connecting People

Hello everyone! Seen the introduction video above? I definitely believe that most of us are very familiar with this Nokia theme song and the hand shaking clip. You bet, as you move along this blog you are going to see lots of posts about Nokia phones. There will be posts on Nokia new release phones as well as the older models, Nokia related products and also stories about my own encounter & experience with Nokia mobiles.

This blog is also specially created to fulfill my individual project of Marketing Information Technology subject that I'm taking in this semester of my studies. Apparently,I am a Year 2 marketing undergraduate.Will not be elaborating a lot about myself here because you can always check more about me from the profile section at the side of this page. Well, that's the purpose of the section anyway :)

I have picked Nokia to be the topic of my blog as I've been a long time user of this brand and it is one of my favourite. Other reason is because I find the topic favourably related with the subject- I N F O R M A T I O N T E C H N O L O G Y. Since it's all about technology, I will tell about technological products then.

So viewers, if you haven't already know much about Nokia and its products,here's the place to enhance your information or ideas about Nokia. For intoduction stage, I will provide a little brief about Nokia and it's history. I promise to make it as brief as possible so we don't get weary reading a parade of facts!

Okay, here are the 9 facts that I've carefully chosen:



1. Nokia did not start off as a telecommunication company in the beginning. (Yes, you might not believe this...)

2. Nokia was a paper mill company! Yes, making paper! (Interesting isn't it?)

3.It was back in 1865 when Mr. Fredrik Idestam built a wood pulp mill on the banks of the Tammerkoski rapids, in southern Finland and a few years later, he built a second mill by the Nokianvirta river – the place that gave Nokia its name.

5. Nokia then move to telecommunication business in 1968 and continues to develop.

6.In 1987, Nokia launches the Mobira Cityman, the first handheld NMT phone.

7.In 1992,Nokia launches its first GSM handset, the Nokia 1011.

8.Nokia becomes the world leader in mobile phones in 1998.

9.In the 21st century, Nokia’s story continues with 3G, mobile multiplayer gaming, multimedia devices and a look to the future...

Before I end this first post, let me share with you a quote that I picked from Nokia official site:
