TIMELINE :

The name 'Nokia' is derived from the river Nokianvirta, on the banks of which the company was established. Nokianvirta itself was named after an old Finnish word, which originally meant sable.

The well-known 'Nokia tune', which was the most commonly known indentifying feature of the phone is said to be based on 'Gran Vals', a 19th century guitar work of a Spanish musician, Francisco Tarrega. This work was well known as the Nokia tune, since people found the original name hard to remember. Around 1998, Nokia also renamed the tune as the 'Nokia tune' in their phones.

According to the Fortune list 2006 survey, Nokia was the 20th most Admirable company in the World.

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.

It is popularly believed that the 'Special' tone available in Nokia phones, as a SMS tone, is actually Morse code for SMS. The 'Ascending' SMS tone is Morse code for 'Connecting People', which is Nokia's tagline.

The world's first satellite call was made in 1994, using a Nokia GSM handset.
