Line 29:
* [[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. One 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, and also the McDonalds quest where the player has to deliver meals to certain NPCs, and said meals are displayed prominently on the lower-right corner of the screen. Though it certainly didn't pay off as while Nokia is extremely popular in Eurasian territories, they weren't as successful in America.
