  The reason why Nokia is still around because the Nokia 3310 is a great phone for emergency use when your actual phone battery runs out

  The lumia phones were actually far better than most people remember them being. Anyone that used them will say that windows mobile was actually an incredibly intuitive mobile OS, however being late to the game developers didn’t support it hence its downfall.  Lumias hardware also was a huge strongpoint, its plastic bright coloured design became synonymous and Lumias like the 1020 pushed the boundaries with its camera hardware

  I feel like despite being an unpopular brand, Nokia still finds ways go stay relevant at all costs.

  Not to mention, Nokia’s patent licensing revenue last year is €1.5 billion, which contributed to more than 40% of its profits. Nokia is ranked as number one in 5G patents.

  Hah, &nbsp;I work at Nokia as a R&amp;D Engineer. Its true that somehow they pivoted and are still quite relevant in commuications sector, 5G, B2B communications products and hardware, networking, etc. <br><br>I still suprise people when i tell them i work there. Everyone things nokia died with its smartphones but they&apos;ve been keeping up somehow behind the scenes outside of the public space. Its annoying and funny at the same time.<br><br>When Nokia did this logo change recently, people made fun of them stating its a desperate attempt to rebrand and enter the smartphones market again which was amusing because nokia doesnt give a shit about smarphones anymore (unless they are for B2B clients for puely onsite business use)

  They&apos;re still one of the most popular vendors of telecommunications core network equipment, as well as customer premises edge equipment.

  Symbian wasn’t a crappy OS, for a long time during the early 2000’s Symbian had more than a 50% market share for mobile smartphone OS’s, and had a pretty large app and game eco system. As to Nokia selling phones without 3G when iOS and Android had moved onto 4G, I had a Nokia smartphone with 3G back in 2004 which is 3 years before iPhone and Android were released. The first gen iPhone didn’t support 3G, and they didn’t have it till 2008 more than half a decade after 3G had become the current standard and about 6 years after Nokia released its first 3G phone.

  Today, well known for its phones, Nokia orginally started off as a paper production company in 1865 in Finland. The company was established by mining engineer Fredrik Idestam on the banks of the Tammerkoski rapids in the town of Tampere. In 1868, Idestam built a second mill near the town of Nokia.

  Nokia branding of their models are actually very straight forward. 3 series are the youth versions, 5 series funky, &nbsp;6 series being the executive, 8 series being the premium and 9 series being the top tech.

  In terms of software support and customizability, Symbian was pretty much the android before android XD. You could install a bunch of different apps and games as well as custom themes. One thing I didn&apos;t like about Symbian was the prevalence of viruses. Scarily, some can even spread themselves through bluetooth --- &nbsp;many people were encouraged not to leave their bluetooth turned on those days lol
