Nonverbal communication...
...since 1865: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia#History
Inspired by The Sunday Challenge 'Slogan', I made a day trip to Nokia, a neighbouring town of Tampere. That is where Nokia company and corporation got it's name and origin.
First Nokia Co. made paper, but rather soon rubber coated electric cables became as the main product for decades. Later on Nokia started to manufacture all kinds of things made out of rubber, like tires, rubber boots and yes, even rubber batons like seen in the image! This kind of rubber batons were used by policemen, and bent like seen in the image, they were rather compact tools. On old advertisements, selling these batons, there were slogans used like: "When words does not help, there you need Nokia baton!"
In 1970s Nokia Co. started to engineer and manufacture electronics. During the next decades they made things like radio phones, military communicators, televisions and even computers. In the end of 1980s Nokia Tyres and Nokia Rubber Works split away from Nokia Corporation, which then focused only on communications. At the same time started the golden years of "fully portable mobile phones", and time when the slogan "connecting people" became launched.
People may think Nokia Corporation became fully owned and "killed" by Microsoft. However, it was only the mobile phone division and Nokia phone brand that were sold. The Nokia Corporation continued as Nokia Networks, and it still is a large multinational data networking and telecommunications equipment company.
UPDATE December 18, 2019:
One should not forget also Nokia rubber boots! In Finland there is still a custom to have rubber boot throwing competitions, except we do not throw Wellie but Nokia. And as similar to that there are even Nokia phone throwing competitions arranged.
Moreover, I just discovered that Nokia phones came back "home" (Finland) again!
UPDATE December 20, 2019:
I wonder why there are no following competitions as well:
▪ Throwing at Nokia community with something, or throwing something away from Nokia. Either throwing something at or away from Nokia town hall, or throwing something (like Nokian Footwear) across the border of Nokia from neighboring communities or vice versa.
▪ Throwing Nokia Tyres, aka tires. Like done on this FirePower CrossFit's First Annual Tire Throwing Competition YouTube video.

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Taormina clubSami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Chrissy clubIt was interesting to hear the history of Nokia.
Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Puchinpappy clubYes, and there is of course much more to tell... I just had no time and energy to tell it in my bad English. But I give you some "keywords" (ideas) to search for:
- Rubber boot throwing contest (especially 'Kontio' brand rubber boots made by Nokia used?
- Cell phone throwing contest (especially early Nokia models used)
So, Finns have used to throw away things made by Nokia... =D I wonder if there is a 'Nokia car tyre throwing contest'...

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to PhLB - Luc Boonen clubAnd as claimed here, Nokia failed to understand the importance of software:
www.newyorker.com/business/currency/where-nokia-went-wrong
For example they never manage to make their own Nokia app store as popular and succesfull as their competitors did.
Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to LutzP clubwww.newyorker.com/business/currency/where-nokia-went-wrong
But Nokia also failed to guess how popular especially Android OS would come.
Android and Apple were too tough competitors. Swedish Ericsson at least tried to come up with something that runs on Android, but they became "swallowed" by Sony.
Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Gillian Everett clubBought in 2007 for 79.90€, replaced battery pack in 2017, fallen to the floor several times, 2019 (and hopefully far beyond) still in use.
:-)
Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Leon_Vienna clubAwesome! Yes, made back in "good old times" =)
But then i call my friends,lol,and ask for advice,then of course first have to listen...how fucking old-fashioned prick i am,when will i get real phone,how one day they will not let you to go in the store or outside the country,bla,bla..but at the end they help me and iam again on the right track.
Friends are important. ;)) or how they would say.."Nokia - connecting people"
Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Marko Novosel clubAlthough, the new slogan seems to be: "pure, secure and up to date" (???) NOt so catchy, I think =|
I switched to it from an iPhone 3G
and I am horrified by the eventuality of being forced to go smartphone again... :o
Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Marta Wojtkowska clubBut if less dials are okay, there are plenty of "traditional" models still available.
Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to AD ADAnd I wonder why there are no following competitions as well:
Throwing at Nokia community with something. Either throwing something at Nokia town hall, or something across the border of Nokia from neighboring communities.
Throwing Nokia Tyres, aka tires. Like this: youtu.be/UD3Ev5se1W8
