Telecoms giant Nokia has made products from tyres and rubber boots to televisions and smartphones in its near 150-year history.

Starting from humble beginnings in 1865 as a riverside paper mill in rural south-western Finland, the company's founder Fredrik Idestam would never have dreamed it would one day become a global brand.

The Nokia name - now synonymous with mobile phones, the addictive game Snake and signature ringtones - came from a second mill Mr Idestam set up a few years later on the banks of the Nokianvirta River, which inspired him to name his business Nokia Ab in 1871.

Here, we look back at some of the most recognisable Nokia mobiles through the years:
