DEFINITELY NOT A TOURIST TRAP.Did you know there was a town named NOKIA? Its the home of world famous NOKIA cellphones. It also has a spa...and a number of good things to visit.A recent 20/20 TV show said the Finland was 'the most wired country on earth' and that most people had cellphones. Only the Finns have taken it to a new level..using cellphones to access accounts to purchase food..soda from machines and opera tickets. No doubt it will be common in the future everywhere.
