Here are some facts about Nokia I bet you didn’t know:
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).
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.
In Asia, the digit 4 never appears in any handset model number, because 4 is considered unlucky in many parts of Southeast/East Asia.
The first Nokia mobile phone ever made is the Mobira Senator released in 1982
Besides Mobile phones, Nokia also manufactures Digital Televisions, ADSL Modems, Wireless LAN interfaces, Telephone switches, GPS devices, Terrestrial trunked radios, and Security Solutions.

Some interesting facts , but allow me to bring up a point here, Nokia does not manufacture cameras at all, Nokia mereley purchses camera modules which they design somtimes, but more likely than not are “off the shelf” modules by specialized firms. As a matter of fact nokia does not manufacture anything per-se, companies such as flextronics actually build these phones for Nokia, Sony Ericsson and others in countries like hungary, malaysia, india taiwan , south korea etc…..
