1.5 Billion S40 Phones Sold- Nokia

1.5 Billion S40 Phones Sold-  Nokia

It’s a mobile operating system built by Nokia mobiles for its feature phones back in 1999, and first appeared on the 7110. Well, apparently a lady over in São Paulo, Brazil has today purchased the 1.5 billionth phone running the operating system in the form of the Nokia mobiles Asha 303. Nokia mobiles is calling it “one of the most significant milestones” in company history.

According to Nokia mobiles’s estimations, approximately 675 million people in the world are using phones running S40. As far as sales go, a dozen S40 phones are sold each second.

1.5 Billion S40 Phones Sold-  Nokia

But that’s enough about the past. Nokia mobiles’s focus is now on its partnership with Microsoft, and according to Bloomberg, the Finnish company likely sold around 1 million units from its Lumia line since its debut. After losing $19 billion in market value over the course of 2011, the Lumia line is Nokia mobiles’s greatest chance of rebuilding itself and reassuring investors.

Luckily, a number of different research firms seem to agree that the Windows Phone OS will surpass iOS in the next three years.

Tablet S is powered by a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 Processorwith 1GB RAM and is a smooth performer. Read our review of the Tablet S to see if it has in it to take on the other Android Tablets. The placement of apps and other settings have been customized for better user experience. Also the Apps drawer white background and general dark background of the tablet doesn’t really works well for the eyes, but you can always change your wallpaper however you cannot change the background of app drawer.

Tablet S sports a TruBlack display which is gorgeously vibrant, the screen size is 9.4” having a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels with border less design, you will love to watch HD videos on it.

Tablet S Design:

At first look you would not find the buttons at the front panel as they are hidden on the right side at the location where your fingers would normally be when you hold it in landscape mode.
