Nokia Flagship Store in Chicago

I had a chance to visit the Nokia Flagship store in Chicago last year.

There are only 2 such stores in all of the USA – Chicago and New York City.

If you are a die hard fan of Nokia, then you MUST visit this place if you happen to visit any of the two cities.

The ambiance is just brilliant ! Its like a jewelery shop with all the diamonds in glass casings. Here the diamonds are Nokia Mobile phones .. You can find several colors of the same popular model on display. And the best part is that the phones work and you are allowed to use them.

Courteous and friendly Nokia staff help and guide you to check all the handsets. I showed my E71 and N82 (my digicam) to an attendant and he was surprised and asked me if I was crazy about Nokia handsets

  • Cut, copy, and paste
    • Of all the features that people have long been waiting for Copy and Paste is probably one of the biggest. It’s worth mentioning that you can select multiple pictures, copy them and then paste them into a new message.
