Here's some interesting, although ultimately useless, information about the world's largest phone manufacturer from TechScraper. Nevertheless, the ability to spew out trivia unfamiliar to friends or acquaintances is coveted by many.

Apparently, the Morse code plays a big role on message tones, and the world famous Nokia Tune formerly known as Grande Valse is actually based on guitar-great Francisco Tárrega's Gran Vals (the familiar melody appears 15 seconds into the song).

Dubious Honor: Turns out that of all mobile phone thefts in London last year, Nokia handsets made up 49% of them.

Uh-oh: Turns out TechScraper violated Wikipedia's usage policy. Check out the Nokia article and you'll see what I mean.
