When the first Nokia cell phones were released in 1982, the Mobira Senator phones weighed-in at a feather-light 22 pounds. The world's largest manufacturer of phones has come a long way since then. The latest Nokia mobile phones are considerably lighter; the Nokia E51 weighs just 3.5 oz.
Nokia has built an empire with its mobile phone business, ranking fifth in BusinessWeek's list of top global brands. The Nokia phone models have a range of styles to choose from. Popular models include small keyboards and Internet access, music applications and even video cameras. The Nokia cell phones are sold as both "flip phones" which fold in half and phones that don't close, called "bar" phones.
Being a popular choice, Nokia cell phone distributors work with most of the major wireless networks:
1. AT&T
2. Sprint
3. T-Mobile
4. Verizon Wireless
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Make the right call on Nokia cell phones
Make sure you are picking the right phone for your needs. Ask yourself whether the phone is for business or personal use. Is a camera something you will need? How large a phone are you willing to deal with, and are you willing to pay more for a very small phone? Do you need the most stylish phone available?
I recommend: Go to the source.
Nokia makes it easy to buy a Nokia mobile phone and offers an easy-to-use system for choosing the right one.
Buy a Nokia mobile phone that gets down to business
Business users are drawn to the latest Nokia mobile phones incorporating email and Internet applications. The "E Series" phones such as the E62 and E61i are light, offer 2-inch screens and QWERTY keyboards. The E62 comes with 80 MB memory, an Internet browser and a music player.
I recommend: Before you buy, Nokia cellular phones features should be compared with the similar versions such as the BlackBerry by
Research in Motion, the
Samsung BlackJack or the
Sony Ericsson touch phones.
Find more features in new Nokia mobile phones than you'll ever need
Global competition is pushing cellular phone development to a frenzied pace. The features available on today's mid-priced phones make them far superior to the top-end phones of a few years ago. Nokia's latest phones are the "N Series" which are similar to a PDA. With the ability to stream live TV programs, watch movies and use GPS-enabled mapping programs, they are the front lines of new phone technology.
I recommend: If you need to have the latest-and-greatest, take a look at the
N96 and other phones in the N Series.
