# Nokia

TODO

For zoomers and young kids it has to be noted Nokia was likely the craziest cell phone company back then, the richness of their phones and creativity in design was absolutely above any boring [Apple](apple.md) shit that came later, Nokia phones were just colorful, wildly different in shape, style and "personality", they even wildly experimented with things like placing buttons all over the device, at a time when ergonomics of buttons was important for typing and already somewhat established, it was as if the designers were smoking something.

{ IMHO the peak of Nokia was 6600, I've never seen such beautiful design, AND it was such a high tech device back them, unreachable to normal people. Just the idea of having a real computer with an operating system in a pocket, with games, even a camera, that was absolutely unreal. I wanted it more than anything else really. It was also nice to compare it to the biggest competition Siemens SX1, that was a great device too. ~drummyfish }

{ Also I remember I was once kicked out of a cell phone shop because they had 6600 there for customers to try out and I was spending hours playing some LOTR games on it xD I remember it like today, it gave me a bit of a trauma. ~drummyfish }
