Nokia: Difference between revisions

Line 28:

* [[Iconic Logo]]: Many a cellphone user from the 90s to 2000s would have the Nokia logo permanently burned into their heads.

* [[Made of Indestructium]]: Nokias from the late 90s to early 2000s, especially the 3310, gained memetic status for their durability.

* [[Mobile Phone Game]]: The [[Trope Maker]] with their version of [[Snake]], first programmed in 1997 by Taneli Armanto and bundled with the Nokia 6110. Since then, various incarnations have been developed and released which often came pre-installed with their phones.

* [[Product Placement]]: Especially in the 2000s when they spared no expense paying various companies and studios to promote their handsets. Music videos featuring Nokia phones were quite common, such as in [[Mary J. Blige]]'s "Be Without You" where she brandished a Nokia 7370<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XNaPX6MKlU Mary J. Blige - Be Without You (Official Music Video)]</ref> and the short-lived [[Danity Kane]]'s "Show Stopper" where an billboard for the Nokia 8800 was shown. Another particularly blatant case was in the ''[[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater]]'' spinoff ''Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure'' where a quest in the Olliewood level involving a ringtone on a Nokia 5100 had an unskippable cutscene with some of the characters dancing to it. Though it certainly didn't pay off as while Nokia is extremely popular in Eurasian territories, they weren't as successful in America.
