Nokia. Connecting people

Most likely, each of us once had a telephone of this company. I'm not an exception. Therefore, when I learned that Nokia is a Finnish company, I was interested to learn about its history and to be a little bit nostalgic.

Nokia is the name of the breed of marten, river, and city, and the most famous of the Finnish companies. Today, this name is inextricably linked with mobile phones, but Nokia has a long and varied history full of innovations.

The early years of the Nokia concern are primarily associated with rubber boots, which appeared in the company's assortment in 1898, when Nokia was acquired by Eduard Polon, the owner of the Finnish rubber plant. Soon, he joined Nokia with another third company - the Finnish cable plant.

Despite some difficulties, Nokia phones until recently were considered the most modern and advanced. The company has long been the undisputed industry leader, for example, produced in 1996–2007 one of the first handheld computers — the Communicator series of devices. Nokia has made Finland visible in the international market.

The legendary Nokia 3310 is known for great games like Snake and Space Impact. This model has found almost 130 million buyers. The word "Nokia" has become synonymous with "mobile" in many regions of the world. Nokia has brought Finland fame for its high technology and high quality. Even today, the popular model 3310 Nokia jokingly called unkillable.
