Nokia.

The Nokia Corporation is a mobile communications company primarily offering voice-centric mobile telephones, enhanced communicators, entertainment and gaming devices and media and imaging telephones. Recently Nokia reorganized its structure and now also includes four business groups as well. They are Mobile Phones, Multimedia, Networks and Enterprise Solutions.

At the core of Nokia's most recent successes is its mobile communications department that had 35% of the overall market share of mobile phone sales in 2001. Comparatively Motorola and Sony Ericsson, the second and third market share leaders, each had less than 20% of the market share in 2001.

Nokia's phones have been well received in the market for sometime now, dating back to the 1980's and their (1G) phones.
