Nokia Lumia Series Launch at the Bonifacio High Street Ampitheater

When in Manila, you may find yourself in Nokialand! Nokia has been one of the most widely recognized mobile phone brands in the country. From its earliest monochrome graphic display models which were a huge hit during the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, to the release of the first and most popular camera phone of its time, Nokia has unarguably shaped the face of mobile phone technology here in the Philippines. It has also introduced Filipinos to the delights of the innovative techie lifestyle. This year, Filipinos will see mobile technology in a new light with the release of the Nokia Lumia series.
