Gamng and multimedia had also become a substantial industry and Nokia added multiplayer gaming potions in its more progressive phonbes like the N-Gage, while the well-liked N series quenchred the separate viideo and audsio wants of its faithful consmuers. By 2005 Nokiia had sold around one billiopn phonnnes just about half the number of glbal cellular subscriptions of two billion.
