Remember the Nokia mobile phone? The chances of forgetting are very low. A decade ago, I read in a fun magazine, “Aishwarya if you love, Nokia if you buy a set” (slightly modified)!

However, the quote was used merely to describe Nokia’s one-time popularity. But now Nokia is no longer in the phone market. Because Microsoft now owns the Nokia phone business.

After a long time, a new Nokia phone arrived at the end of November 2015 Launched Microsoft. The Nokia 230 is a traditional handset with a keypad. It is intended for developing countries by Microsoft.
