Nokia Mobile Phones
Nokia has produced a variety of mobile phones to fit the needs of each market segment. Their latest models include those from the Nokia N series, Nokia E series and the Nokia Xpress Music series. Traditionally, Nokia’s different series of mobile phones were categorized according to the first of the four numbers that made up their name (eg. Nokia 3310, Nokia 5300, Nokia 8810). This naming method continues until today with each series having its own distinct feature. Nokia had also previously produced its first gaming phone called the Nokia N-Gage with the help of its subsidiary, Sega.
