Indeed it is a beautiful font.
There are certain things in products (or life even) that just work as expected; I don't appreciate them while using them, but as time passes, and with a reminder such as this blog post, I can retrospectively see both the satisfaction I had using them, and how they contributed to the experience of that product as a whole.
Attention to detail is truly important I guess.

I've switched to Atkinson Hyperlegible next and mono fonts from the Braille institute on my desktops recently and highly recommend them.
I don't know man, it does not look too good to me, a bit vertically streched.

Note that Nokia Sans only looks good on HiDPI displays. If you want crispness like on those old phones and you have a low-resolution display, you'd need somehow to scrape the bitmap font off S30.

Love seeing a post from OSnews. Brings back so many good memories

I'm not a font person, but the font on the article site makes the zeros look like lower case o; feels like a decision trolling those with a peeve about fonts where 0O look the same. (this was particularly noticeable in the comments where folks talk about e.g. the Nokia N900) At the same time, I don't object to the font's style of having numbers that go below "the line".

Trying it now, and it certainly is interesting, just seeing it in unexpected places like the URL bar in firefox, will keep it for now.
There doesn't seem to be a monospaced variant unfortunately, which could make for an interesting terminal experience.

And while we're here, how about a font based on their new logo? That would be a truly awful user interface font:
It would be nice to see some font specimens of Nokia Sans, Nokia Sans Wide, and Nokia Serif.

I downloaded a few off of Google images, to include in my archives. Checked a few other fonts of random provenance and they all seem to have specimen images floating around too.

only a very few fonts evoke nostalgia like this one.
