Nokia’s legendary font makes for a great user interface font

Many Americans such as myself had Nokia cell phones.. they were ubiqitious in USA culture... so I don't get the American jab at all, the only real competitor between 95-2005'ish was Motorola. Blackberry came from that time, and then android around 2010'ish but I would say yes - Nokia was the main phone for over a decade IMO.

The 6190 might have been the most successfully executed technological device I’ve ever had. (Also an American wondering about the assumption we didn’t have Nokia.)

I beg to disagree.

The 5210 was the best, it was indestructible, cheap, kept its charge and still was functional even if you rode over it in your bulldozer.

The 8110 was the second imo, but only for the style.

And the 3310-ish were the runners-up. Cheaper than 5k series, and almost as useful.

My brother drove over his Nokia phone with a car, and it cracked the screen. It was still readable enough to place and receive calls, and it was very easy to repair, but it did take damage.
