Imagine if they had established their paper mill there at the 19th century and now they would have hard time trying to launch that name as a mobile phone brand...</p> http://blogs.forum.nokia.com/blog/pankaj-nathanis-forum-nokia-blog/2008/06/14/nokia-a-city#comment23759 <p>I heard that Nokia once was a miningcompany... Is this true?</p> http://blogs.forum.nokia.com/blog/pankaj-nathanis-forum-nokia-blog/2008/06/14/nokia-a-city#comment23756 <p>I live in Finland, and can confirm, there is a town by the name Nokia, but not a city. It has been in the news here quite recently following problems with the towns water system being polluted.</p> http://blogs.forum.nokia.com/blog/pankaj-nathanis-forum-nokia-blog/2008/06/14/nokia-a-city#comment23755 <p>Hi Pankaj,<br /> Thanks for the article URL, however I thought the name originates from river Nokia at Finland. Maybe the city and the river are close to each other?</p> <p>--<br /> Kostya</p> http://blogs.forum.nokia.com/blog/pankaj-nathanis-forum-nokia-blog/2008/06/14/nokia-a-city#comment23753
