Nokia Cellular Phone: History And Evolution

Believe it or not, Nokia traces its roots in the year 1865 when Fredrik Idestam, a mining engineer founded a forest industry in South-Western Finland, the foundation of the Finnish Rubber Works Ltd in 1898, and the Finnish Cable Works 1912. When the ownership of these companies fell into the hands of few people, these three companies gave birth to the Nokia Corporation in 1967.

This second-generation mobile phone system is proved to be faster, more efficient and enable users to make international roaming easily. With its dawn, Nokia became global, releasing several Nokia cellular phones to include the Nokia 810 car phone and the Nokia 1011 that is included in the original Nokiacellular phone series. These units brought forth the evolution of Nokia cellular phones on the large scale.
