Nokia company profile
The roots of Nokia go back to the year 1865 with the establishment of a forest industry enterprise in South-Western Finland by mining engineer Fredrik Idestam. Elsewhere, the year 1898 witnessed the foundation of Finnish Rubber Works Ltd, and in 1912 Finnish Cable Works began operations. Gradually, the ownership of these two companies and Nokia began to shift into hands of just a few owners. Finally in 1967 the three companies were merged to form Nokia Corporation.

Closely Related StuffThe post-CTIA onslaught has begun! Check out some of the new handsets in the PhoneDog office, including the MOTO Z9 slider phone, BlackBerry Pearl 8210, Nokia N82, and SE K850i and w890i. Also, we preview two new iPhone cases. Come with us through the magical land of Nokia's CTIA booth. Make a DJ request. Watch the giant TV. And get a demo of the new N810 WiMax Edition internet tablet which will be available this summer. Last week during CTIA 2008 in Las Vegas, Noah and Doug took to the sky with Nokia to learn about the new N810 WiMax tablet. To add to the wow factor of CTIA, Nokia's conference in the sky was hosted outside and up 180 feet in the air! Hands-on with the new Nokia 3606, a CDMA flip phone for the US market. This is a low-end handset with a stylish thin profile, "smooth back" hinge, and 1.3MP camera. Hands-on at CTIA '08 with Nokia's latest N-Series device for the North American market. US-ready 3G, WiFi, 3.2 MP Camera, and lots of Series 60 goodness here. Hands-on with Nokia's new imaging powerhouse, the N82 mobile phone, at CTIA '08 in Las Vegas. Nokia takes us through the phone's high-end multimedia, connectivity, and imaging features. And now it comes in black, too! What’s Good: Incredible Camera w/Xenon Flash; Full VGA Video Capture; Excellent Web Browser; WiFi; Extendable Operating System; 3.5mm Headphone Jack
What’s Not Good: Cheap-Feeling and Plasticky; Small Keys; Music File Sort Issues; S60 OS Too Complex for Average User; Device is Bulky; Very Expensive
Bottom Line: Nokia’s N82 may be the best camera phone on the market right now, but it’s a bulky, complicated, expensive device for geeks and not the average consumer. You want features? N82’s... Nokia’s N82 has received multiple awards for being the best camera phone available today on the global market. While the LG Viewty might have something to say about that, the N82 is certainly amongst the top two or three, anyway. Packing a 5MP Carl Zeiss lens backed by a true Xenon flash, sliding lens cover, and VGA (640 x 480) video capture at a full 30 fps with stereo audio, this latest N-Series handset is a true imaging powerhouse. The N82 even bests Nokia’s flagship N95... My N82 is finished in a shiny silver front with a patterned beige back panel. Nokia calls it “Warm Titanium,” and also offers the device in white and black (sadly, I got mine before the black was widely available - for my money the black’s nicer). The first thing I noticed about the phone is that it’s quite big but has rather small, crowded buttons. The second thing I noticed is that it felt kind of cheap. I don’t think the device is actually cheaply made, but it’s all... I tested the N82 on T-Mobile in the San Francisco Bay Area. Signal strength and call quality were generally excellent, on par with or better than any recent T-Mobile handset I’ve tried (save their latest UMA-equipped BlackBerrys). The Quad-Band GSM radio picked up signals easily, and I had no trouble hopping onto T-Mo’s EDGE data network, either. Calls came through loud and clear with minimal background hiss, and people I talked to generally said I sounded good on their... I left my iPhone behind in search of a top-notch camera phone. I found one in the Nokia N82. Problem is the camera didn’t make up for all of the other things I liked about iPhone - and also like about a number of other newer handsets — that the N82 doesn’t offer. Market emphasis right now is about marrying features to usability and providing consumers with devices that do it all, are reasonably easy and fun to use, and look good when you take them out of your pocket or... Well, that didn't take long.
My big switch away from the iPhone to the Nokia N82 as my daily cell? I think I'm over it. In part I have to blame the post-CTIA deluge of new devices that have come into the PhoneDog office over the past few weeks. With so many new phones to try out, how can I limit myself to just one (I'm happily married, so being polygamous with gadgets is my vice)?
More than that, though, the N82's lack of style and fun got to me. Having a top-notch... Hi All,
First post ......I want to wipe the main phone memory and sim card memory, I cannot find the steps to do this in the manual, Nokia 3310, does anyone know a quick way to do this, giving the mikejohnson: According to me Apple should just make computers and iPod, iPhone won't be successful.
Are you serious?? iPhone won't be successful? It already is Hi,
Nokia N95 is much better because it has everything such as a good camera, music player, video player, phone, messaging, video calling, and much more. Touch screen doesn't matter when Nokia N82 on display at CES 2008 Nokia N95 8GB US version on display at CES 2008 Hi guys,
I am new here and going to buy one of them so I wanted to
know your opinions. Please drop me your beliefs that can I determine to buy one
of them.
Illuminate me please! Have you even seen an iMate? That is already a bad sign. It may have all of the bells and whistles, but where are you going to go for support? That is the problem I had with my Pantech Ocean.
I Which brand offers the most value, functionality and coolness factor?
I don't know if it's just me, but all of the latest smartphones/PDA's are starting to look all alike. Yes the iMate and HTC
Hi friends,
I love Nokia N95 and think they make the absolute best phones. I made the mistake once of buying a Motorola... never again, never again. iPhone is my second choice to buy but I don't
