Nope, that's not a typo. And it's all from one phone, too.
Nokia announces sale of its 1.5 billionth S40 handset
Nokia announced on Wednesday that it has officially sold its 1.5 billionth S40-powered cell phone since the first S40 device ? the Nokia 7110 ? was released in 1999. A 21-year old Brazilian woman made the historic purchase in S?o Paulo, the company said, noting that the woman purchased a Nokia Asha 303 from a Magazine Luiza store. ?We are incredibly proud to reach this milestone,? said Mary McDowell, Executive Vice President for Mobile Phones at Nokia. ?Having 1.5 billion Series 40 devices sold is a hard-to-reach mark, let alone one attainable in a single line of products. At a time when we are maintaining our commitment to connecting the next billion customers around the world ? it is gratifying to consider how Series 40 devices have made mobile technology accessible and help continue to change people?s lives for the better.? Nokia is set to announce its earnings on Thursday after the market closes. The company?s full press release follows after the break.
