Came across this site the other day: symbian freak.

Very informative, great range of downloads for your mobile phone, active support in their forums, and some darn useful guides. Lost myself for a couple of hours on there the other day... good God I've been geeked.

Nokia Mobile Phone Trivia

Nokia Mobile Phone Trivia:

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 ringtone "Nokia Tune" (probably the world's most well-known ringtone, though it could be argued that Crazy Frog is more well-known) is actually based on a 19th-century guitar work named "Gran Vals" by Spanish musician Francisco Tárrega. The Nokia Tune was originally named "Gran Vals" on Nokia phones but was changed to "Nokia Tune" around 1998 when it became so well known that people referred to it as the Nokia Tune.
Nokia is sometimes called aikon (Nokia backwards) by non-Nokia mobile phone users and by mobile software developers, because "aikon" is used in various SDK software packages, including Nokia's own Symbian Series 60 SDK.
Nokia sponsored several pan-European Alternate Reality Games from 1999 to 2005, under the name Nokia Game. These were used to promote their latest phones, as well as introducing the ARG format to Europe.
Nokia was listed as the 20th most admirable company worldwide in Fortune's list of 2006 (1st in network communications, 4th non-US company).

One Billion Mobile Phones

One Billion Mobile Phones


Global shipments of mobile phones are expected to reach the watershed number of 1 billion this year, according to a report released Thursday. But there is a caveat: the shipment boom won't necessarily translate into profits for suppliers.


Research by industry experts Gartner, published today, shows global handset sales rising from an estimated 780m this year to more than 1bn in 2009. Last year 674m phones were sold.
Cumulatively from 1997 to 2009 the world's mobile phone manufacturers are expected to have produced 7.5bn phones - more than enough for every man, woman and child on the planet. The actual number in use is likely to be about 2.6bn.
