Microsoft began ushering in a new mobile phone era last week by phasing out the Nokia branding from its flagship devices.
The Finnish firm changed the face of telecommunications over the latest three decades with devices that pioneered features now considered industry standard.
Nokia may have brought mobile phones to the masses with the reliable 3310 and set the standards in smartphone photography with the Lumia 1020, but the firm has also released some downright bizarre handsets over the years.
With the brand destined for a software-only future, we have rounded up the best and worst creations ever to leave Nokia's doors.
The best of Nokia
1. Nokia 3310
The fundamentals of what makes a good mobile phone have changed little over the years, with class-leading specs, a robust design and an intuitive user interface still the holy trinity.
Although the Nokia 3310 is a humble device by today's standards, it was developed during an era when smartphones as we know them were the stuff of science fiction. Back then, it ticked all of those boxes and more.
Mobile phones were not as widespread at the turn of the millennium, but those who had one were usually two things - Nokia 3310 owners and Snake 2 addicts.
2. Nokia N95
Released in early 2007, the Nokia N95 faced fierce competition in the shape of Apple's much-hyped iPhone, but it took the fight to Cupertino with arguably the most impressive feature set around.
The Nokia N95 boasted GPS support, an MP3 player, WiFi and 3G connectivity, and a 5-megapixel camera backed up by a flash.
Although owners of the original iPhone looked on in envy as N95 users browsed the web over 3G and snapped photos with the aid of a flash, consumers soon turned their backs on raw power in favour of more intuitive user interfaces.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 may have been released more than a year ago, but it still leads the way where smartphone photography is concerned thanks to the inclusion of its monster 41-megapixel camera.
Backed up by optical image stabilization (OIS) and a high resolution f/2.2 all-aspherical 1-group Carl Zeiss lens, this snap-happy handset is capable of producing output that could be mistaken for the work of a DSLR.
The device also comes bundled with a host of dedicated photography apps, including Smart Cam and Pro Cam, making it the complete package for those seeking a replacement for their compact camera.
4. Nokia 7710
It's a stretch to say the Nokia 7710 is among the Finnish phone maker's best work, but as the company's first all-touchscreen device, it's a product of historic significance.
This one was a true hybrid that falls into the oddball category. Nokia attempted to please everyone, from power users to entertainment junkies, and although the results were mixed, it offered one of the best mobile internet experiences of its generation.
The Nokia 7710 was a gamble that didn't quite pay off, but it's also an example of the firm's willingness to think outside the box and try new things - qualities that are too often lacking in the modern phone industry.
5. Nokia 3250
The Nokia 3250 is another example of the firm's ability to innovate, take risks, and deliver mobile phones unlike any other on the market.
The handset sported an unusual 'twist' design that saw its traditional keypad transform into a camera, and came with a wide range of accessories.
It was also geared towards music lovers, with physical playback controls, a built-in FM radio and microSD support for storing up to 500 songs.
And the worst...
1. Nokia N-Gage
The N-Gage was Nokia's ill-fated attempt to seize a slice of slice of the gaming market and lure users away from the Game Boy Advance with the promise of more powerful hardware and mobile phone functionality.
Unfortunately, the N-Gage failed as both a mobile phone and a games console thanks to physical buttons that were ill-equipped for play sessions and its off-putting, taco-like design.
The N-Gage was released in 2003, but Nokia's gaming ambitions stretched far beyond that. Following the release of a second-gen model in 2004, Nokia moved its N-Gage capabilities to its mobile phone range and supported the service until 2009.
2. Nokia 7280
Mobile phones that resemble oversized lipsticks is one of Nokia's big ideas that didn't quite catch on.
While a surprisingly capable handset resides inside the Nokia 7280's bizarre casing, its outlandish form factor made basic functions such as texting a chore.
It was more fashion accessory than phone, but most style-conscious users wouldn't be seen dead with something like this today.
3. Nokia 8800
If ever there was a handset aimed at users with more money than sense it was the Nokia 8800, a luxury device with next to no features.
Although the phone was made from premium materials, with a stainless steel design and scratch-proof screen, it offered little beyond calls, texts and an average camera.
With a launch price of more than $1,000, we were at least expecting a user-friendly experience, but the Nokia 8800 was too miserly for even that.
4. Nokia 5510
The Nokia 5510 was a mobile phone with the form factor of a handheld games console, but there were no decent games for it (besides Snake 2, obviously), nor was it powerful enough to host any.
With a full keyboard included, the device was billed as the ultimate texting machine, but it was ugly and clunky, and obsolete within a year as colour displays began phasing out their monochromatic counterparts.
The phone at least boasted impressive music playback capabilities, offering crisp MP3 output and 64MB of memory for storing your tunes.
5. Nokia 8110
The Nokia 8110 was released in 1998 and quickly shot to fame because it was used by Keanu Reeves in The Matrix.
This was the first Nokia device to feature a slider design, but it also brought new meaning to the famous Mae West quote "is that a banana is your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"
Aside from its fruit-like form factor, the Nokia 8110 was held back by the lack of a speakerphone and a contacts list that only accommodated 125 entries.
