Nokia phone series

Nokia's nomenclature can be traced back in 2005, when the Nseries line was introduced.^[1] Because of the demands and peak of that line, Nokia again introduced another series of phones named Eseries,^[2] made mostly for the enterprise market and to compete with Palm and BlackBerry.^[3] In 2009, Nokia dropped their four-number naming scheme^[4] and focused on their two existing lines, with additional two introduced during Nokia World^[5] being the Xseries which is for entertainment and music enthusiasts,^[6] while Cseries is what Nokia considers their "core" range of products.^[7] A Chinese-exclusive range of devices named Tseries was introduced on 13 June 2011.^[8] Two more series were introduced at Nokia World 2011 Asha which means "hope" and Lumia which means "light."^[9][10] Other series of phones include the N-Gage,^[11] XpressMusic,^[12] Navigator series, Prism,^[13] Supernova^[14] and the fashion-oriented Distinctly Bold^[15] and L'Amour Collection.^[16]
