Today, May 12, 2015, is Nokia’s 150th birthday. Yes, the company’s that old. And to celebrate, Nokia has released a short clip to take you on a trip down memory lane and give you a glimpse of the company’s future.

The video starts with the Nokia Company from 1865 when it was involved in the milling and rubber businesses. Towards the end of the 19th century it ventured into electricity generation and then eventually into telecommunications. Nokia introduced its first mobile phone, the Mobira Cityman 900 in 1987.

Happy 150th Birthday NokiaToday, on 12 May, we’re celebrating turning 150! Join us for both a trip down memory lane and a look into the future. #Nokia150yearsPosted by Nokia on Tuesday, May 12, 2015

Ni wala nga backlight,basic na antenna at keypad,ah me battery nga pala at PCB yun,saka me ringtone, ah malupit pala mga OS nila noon. Oooopss sorry matalino ka nga pala, kaya nga nalaos at nawala ang Nokia kasi ikaw na lang ang naiwan na fanatic nya.Ikaw na matalino, paki-share naman yang mga factors mo sa pricing ng Nokia. LOL

@shutter anong naging phone mo noong panahon sikat ang nokia? Meron ba?

shutter · 11 years ago

@lupin , 5110 noong unang labas 15K ata yun. 8210 saka N90. :) Yun lang pag naiisip ko ang price nila noon compared ngayon, di nagkakalayo pero ang specs ng phones noon… consider mo pa ang price ng materials noon at ngayon…. di ba maiisip mo na tama lang na malugi yang nokia mobile na yan.

I still have my Nokia N8 which I bought around the first release in October 2010. Even though I have a Galaxy Note 4 and an Iphone 5s, I still use my n8 as an alternative phone. Still kicking for almost 5 years! PROUD OWNER OF N8!!!!

I remember way back 2001, I was in 6th grade at ako lang yung naka-8850 Sa school. Haha. Instant rich kid tingin agad sa akin ng mga kaklase ko. Simpler times. Haha.

nokia pa rin ang da best lalo pagdating sa repair at patagalan… buhay pa rin n93 at 3310 ko :D

loyal nokia user here, from my very first 5110 phone up to my e63 that I’m still using for 9 years, baka ipamana ko pa sa anak ko. funny story, naiwanan ko na sa mga mall establishments ang phone ko but kahit after 3 days ay nababalikan ko pa rin, walang nagkakainterest sa nokia brand nowadays.

the current generation is only interested in samsung and iphones; when I told my daughter “anak, bili tayo ng cellphone para makatikim naman ako ng touchscreen after all these years. Gusto ko nokia ha” todo against siya. impression niya ay parang bumibili ako ng cherry mobile phone (no offense sa cherry mobile or its users ha).

Mirror · 11 years ago

para sa akin, nokia’s still the best phone brand for me. Til now kahit my s2 na ako at iphone 6 plus, ang nokia ko pa rin ang ginagamit ko as my primary phone. Ang smartphone ko pang net, pix at music lang talaga. Mas maganda ang nokia kay matagal ma lowbat at user friendly

yung pinaka unang comment sa taas wala kang alam di kapa siguro naka hawak ng symbian O.S at meego harmattan kung price pagbabasihan mo yung price range na 16k to 34k para sa flagship ng nokia masyado parin mura. lagi naman ganyan harurot ng mga di pa nakahawak ng smartphone ng nokia ang tanging nahawakan nila ay featurephone na java. i challenge you to use n8 with delight software just for a week tignan natin kung bitiwan mo pa or just look at the nokia n9 it can run meego and nitdroid.

shutter · 11 years ago

wow ikaw na ang matalino. 16K to 34k sa taong early 2000 is reasonable considering the features of nokia phones? So dahil matalino ka ibig mong sabihin NAPAKAMURA NA PALA ANG BENTA NG SAMSUNG AT IPHONE NGAYON.
LOL to that.

Technology is a vicious place to venture in…

shutter · 11 years ago

kinarma itong NOKIA, noong panahon nila kung mag-presyo ng cellphone talo pa ang apple at samsung considering na keypad at antenna lang ang pinaka-feature ng telepono nila, tapos dagdagan ng bluetooth. hehehe

ahahi · 11 years ago

reasonable lang ng presyo ng nokia noon. unang una, di pa naman uso ang touch screen phones noon. saka sila lamang naman ang sikat na brand noon pagdating sa cellphone. anong brands lang ba ang kakompetensya nila noon? philips? alcatel? motorola?

jap · 11 years ago

oo nga naman , may antenna lang, tapos ang mahal. bumili ka ba?

shutter · 11 years ago

@jap , oo pre no choise eh. 5110 unang labas non 15K pa. Mukhang kaya mahal dahil mabigat at malaki ang antenna. hehehehe

kris · 11 years ago

Kung OP ang price nila noon, bumili ka naman? :P tsaka sapat lang yung price nila noon, wag mo icompare yung noon at ngaun.. noon nga sa halagang piso madami ka na mabibili..

shutter · 11 years ago

@Kris , no choice noon. Sila lang ang kilala. I hope you get my point. They overpriced their phones considering its specs. Halos pareho lang sila ng price ng mga phones ngayon. Pero in terms of value ng pera noon at ngayon mas mahal sila na di hamak.Ikaw na din me sabi piso noon mas madami ka mabibili kesa piso ngayon. :)
