All looks good, but I beleive it would have been nice to have someone speaking about customer relations. Being customer driven is all good, but you need to make this really work you need your customer to beleive that you are customer driven. For me a large part of this is about your customer interface. Are you really saying you are responding to customer requests/issues or saying that you are predicting what you think the customer wants. These are two very different things. It’s all about preception at the end of the day. In a lot of cases it isn’t what you think or do, but it’s what you are perceived to think or do by your customers.

Post more Polls, activities or a “Pass the Parcel” to get distracted and ready for the conference, I just can’t wait what Nokia will announce for the consumers.
