But now it is back. The smartphone giant (which is now with HMD) reminded the world of its popularity by (re)launching the legendary Nokia 3310 at the Mobile World Congress at Barcelona earlier this year and yesterday, made its return to one of its biggest markets, India, launching the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 in the country.
And while many are feeling nostalgic and others are busy looking at the new Nokia devices, we shoveled up the past a little to just remind people of what Nokia had done in the past. So, here are ten interesting facts we think many (especially the iOS and Android fanboys) might not know about Nokia… Oh, and one more thing (yes, we love Steve Jobs)
In the Batman film, “The Dark Knight”, Bruce Wayne (with a little help from his tech wizard, Lucius Fox) used a Nokia Xpress Music handset (the as yet unreleased 5800, codenamed the Tube) as a high-frequency generator receiver to capture a criminal Lau. Even Batman needed Nokia. Now, how cool is that? Mind you, that WAS 2008…
