It is common to hear people chatter on the cell phone these days.but a large number of users are now letting their thumbs do the talking.text messaging,or sending 160 characters or fewer to another cell phone,has become a discreet way to contact someone and ,because it takes some tech-savvy know-how,it is litmus test of sorts on how advanced a nation is in using wireless technology.In Finland,home of Nokia,mobile phones have spawned a culture all their own.this Nordic country may not be the center of civilization,but it is home to cutting-edge communication.of Finland's 5 million people,98 percent have cell phones and only half have a landline.

it is true that finland has become so popular because of nokia. but finland is a great country by herself. have a happy visit there, guilinfd. i doubt it though, that you will find the cellphones there cheaper than in china.

finland is famous for nokia, the leading cellphone brand nowadays. it is not shocking to note that people there are using cellphones rather than landlines. cellphones are very convenient and everyone in the family can have his own unit without any problem about how to go about it. i am thankful for the way cellphones have dominated the telecommunications industry.
