What Happened to the Nx4?
by Darla
Did you notice that the Nseries went from N71 - N75 without having an N74? Also the N91 - N95 and no N94? Lol, its 6:30 am on Saturday morning and I haven't had coffee... but it made me wonder, what happened to the Nx4?
The number 4 is not used as 4 is seen as an unlucky number in some asian countries. (a big part of Nokia's market)
I don't think they bring out NX4 phone.

Why did you say they started with the N71 and N91 instead of the N70 and N90?

@captainmicahp... Oops!!! Don't know really... but thanks for picking that up. I guess I just started at 1 instead of 0. :)

There is at least one Nokia phone model with number 4 in recent history, name it? :)

Hey Jukka!!
Nokia did in fact have a 4xxx series back in 1993. The model was the p4000 and it was an analog brick. Do I win a prize? :)

In Chinese community, "4" and "death" are in the same voice, so it considers unfortune, just like 13 in western countries. There are many products in these market avoid using number 4 as the product numbers.
