Nokia Factory In Hungary Produces 500,000,000th Mobile Phone!

Whilst other manufacturers have come and gone, Nokia has managed to stay at the top of the mobile phone tree by consistently releasing high quality and reliable handsets to every corner of the globe for the past 40 years.

Testament to that broad plan is the industry milestone at an unassuming Nokia factory in Komarom, Hungary, who have recently celebrated the production of their 500 millionth handset. In that one factory.

Established in 1999, the Komarom factory manufactures phones primarily for use in the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe like the Nokia 6300 and the 2760, but also cutting edge handsets in the form of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

The lucky phone to roll off the line as number 50 million? A regular Nokia N79. Not a platinum Nokia N97, nor a holo-phone that shoots lightning, just another dependable high quality device.

With worldwide owners well into the billions and an economic weight that counts for almost a third of Finland’s market capital, Nokia’s (almost) unassailable position as number 1 is cemented.
