Nseries head of design talks flagships, super-humans and Nokia N97

LONDON – Recently we managed to steal a few minutes with Axel Meyer, Nokia’s man at the design helm for Nseries and one of the key figures behind the creation of the newly released Nokia N97.

In the final of our series of videos from the Nokia Design day, dubbed The Inside Story, Axel talks to us about flagship products, the design process, touches on N97, and gives us his thoughts behind what goes into an Nseries device. Click through to catch our short video interview.

Off camera, Axel talked more about mobile design, highlighting as humans our “uncomplicated desire to connect” and the constant ambition at Nokia design of “making communication more human.”

He also threw some interesting stats in our general direction, regarding photo sharing. I was surprised to hear that there are over 20 million pictures uploaded in Flickr from Nseries devices. A mind boggling 2.4 billion friends are tagged in Facebook. Over nine hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every minute.
