A Finnish company specialising in communications equipment. Many people know Nokia for their cellphones, however they also market complete comms systems,
DSL equipment, and cable
TV components.
Nokia sells mainly "candybar"
type phones marketed to techy nerdular types, however they sell handsets in the extreme low
end (1100) and the extreme high
end (Vertu) of the market.
They sell more handsets than anyone else.
The Nokia name is impossible to pronounce correctly in English because there are sounds in it that don't exist in English.
