Nokia is known today as the largest manufacturer of mobile phones, having about 40 percent of the world market share in the second quarter of 2008. But Nokia had a really humble beginning-it all started in 1865.

Nokia's Humble Beginning

In 1895, Fredrik Idestam established a wood-pulp mill, which is now known as the Nokia Corporation. It was first based in the southwestern Finland town called Tampere but was later relocated to Nokia town so that the company can use the Nokianvirta river. The river is where the company's name, Nokia, originated.

This company acquired the Nokia Wood Mills and also acquired a company producing telegraph and telephone cables, the Finish Cable Works. The merging of these three companies in 1967 led to the creation of the Nokia Corporation.

Shift to Mobile Communication Tools

Nokia started producing military as well as commercial mobile radio communications technology in the 1960s. The two companies started to develop mobile phones for the NMT network standard. In 1984, the merging with Salora Oy made the company to create its telecommunication branch named Nokia-Mobira Oy. Nokia introduced one of the world's first handheld phones in 1987 and this was called Mobira Cityman 900.

The GSM Involvement

In 1988, Nokia Mobile Phone emerged from the Nokia Mobira Oy. In the same year, Nokia launched its first GSM handset, which is the Nokia 1011. It was in 1994 that the Nokia tune was launched. It was the Nokia 2100 that featured this famous classic phone tune.

The success of Nokia continued until the worlds first satellite call was made in 1994 using a Nokia mobile phone. And in 1997, Nokia introduced a classic game highly associated with the company-Snake. Finally, in 1998, Nokia mobile phones became the world's leader.

Recent Success of Nokia

Nokia mobile phones continue to be one of the best and most innovative in the world. This was proven in 2002 with the company's launching of Nokia 6650, its first 3G phone.

From 1865 until today, Nokia continues to create mark on the mobile phone industry. One of the most recent smartphones released by Nokia is the Nokia E71.
