Send Seasons’ Greetings! Spread the joy of giving!

Christmas greetings from Nokia

GLOBAL – It’s December and that means that the holiday season is upon us. Perhaps you were thinking of sending some cards to your friends and colleagues? Again this year, Nokia invites you to send beautiful UNICEF e-cards to people close to you. With the campaign, Nokia supports the UNICEF Schools for Africa initiative.

The card has a neutral message, with a blue picture suitable for Christmas, the Holidays or simply the New Year. At the beginning of January 2012, the card will switch to a red version for the Chinese New Year celebrated on January 23. The card is also available in Finnish and Chinese. You can send as many cards as you like, and to several email addresses at the same time.

The move is a part of Nokia’s focus on education as an area for social investment. We believe everyone has a right to education. However, due to accidents of fate and circumstance, many millions are excluded from learning opportunities.

We think that mobile technology has the opportunity to change that situation. Our efforts in the area take various forms, such as Nokia Education Delivery, Nokia Life Tools and Mobile Learning for Mathematics. We’re also delighted to support the efforts of other organizations, such as the UNICEF Schools for Africa campaign, to extend access to education.

The Schools for Africa initiative aims to create better education for children in 11 sub-Saharan countries, and provide them with a safe and protective environment where they can learn and play.

So spread the joy of giving by sending some cards today.

    Dear Nokia or anyone reading this,

    As part of your naming strategy recently unveiled on Nokia
    World 2011, I would like to suggest Nokia to name their line-up of Symbian
    smartphones: “Opas” meaning guide in Finnish. If the feature phones
    running Series 40 are called Asha
    and the high-end Windows Phone devices Lumia
    then there’s no reason for Nokia not to rename their upcoming crop of Symbian
    phones.

    Why did I choose guide?
    Symbian is probably the oldest and most experienced mobile operating system out
    there. It has been around for more than a decade. The operating system was able
    to survive the different eras of technological advancements: both in hardware
    and software front. Symbian’s been running on most Nokia smartphones since the
    Communicator series, the early Series 60 and so on.

    Nokia also have invested a lot of their resources in developing
    the Series 60 (now Symbian) platform. The company has played a key role in
    developing wireless, software and hardware standards that we have seen in the
    past years, what we are seeing nowadays, and what we are going to see in the
    future – all of that including and during the days when they are developing
    both Maemo and Symbian.

    Guide or Opas is the perfect name for the
    soon-to-be-released Symbian devices (if they are any, in the roadmap) because
    the operating has been a guide and a mentor not just to Nokia and the company’s
    future, but also to the mobile industry. If not for Symbian, I would never
    imagine seeing Samsung, Apple and everyone else create their own mobile operating
    systems. Symbian started it all. Although there have been some major pitfalls:
    slow development, Nokia N97 software; we can’t deny that Symbian still is the
    king of mobile OSes. Nobody can ever deny that. Not even iOS, not even Android
    and not even Windows Phone can take that crown. Symbian has been an integral
    and vital part of Nokia – and that operating system is a major part of mobile
    history.

    To give importance and tribute to what Nokia and Symbian
    have offered to people and the industry, I would like to ask Nokia to name
    their Symbian smartphones Opas or
    any language they want (as long as it means guide).
    It would really be perfect, as Symbian is a legend. Thank you.
