Use '$' for matching the ending of a line as follows:Hi!

Rule1:
RewriteRule ^/nokian95$ /phones.php?id=555 [PT,QSA,NS,NE]
Rule2:Similar to '^' - which matches the beginning of the line - '$' matches
RewriteRule ^/nokian95plum$ /phones.php?id=588 [PT,QSA,NS,NE]
any String which ends with the specified characters.
