GLOBAL – It’s funny, this sounds like a somewhat outdated question from a bygone era of mobility where one pocket was reserved for the work phone and one for your personal device. Not so, as Gary H highlights in our recent story Excitement at reading the tea leaves, resurfacing the question with his comment declaring that he carries multiple devices: “Well how’s this – how many people carry 2 phones now. I’m using 3!”
Later this week we’ll be running a piece asking you what makes a good enterprise device, but in the meantime, we’re interested to kick-start a conversation around this topic of carrying multiple devices, discussing why we do, and if it’ll ever truly become a thing of the past.
Cast your vote today, and if you carry more than one device, please share the reasons why you do in the comments section further down.
BOSTON, USA – One of the benefits of knowing the unknowns, the things that are unknown to the public, but known to the company, is that it gets exciting when folks start speculating – about launches, devices, direction, moves. And I like speculating as much as the next guy.
Of course, we don’t substantiate rumors or talk about those known unknowns (that’s usually called a leak). And it’s a hard balance to say enough to show where we are going, without giving the game away. In some cases this can put us in an unfavorable light. For example, it’s sometimes foolish to suggest we released a solution in response to a competitor device or service, when in actuality, solution timelines were long set before the competitor revealed its solution. Or, all of us have to wear a Finnish poker-face, because we can’t really to talk about a leaked product everyone is excited about.
Today, there are some links we’d like to share. In the past week, we’ve had more than enough concrete stuff to be excited about. But here are three articles that are examples of the hopeful speculation we usually like to read. There is also one, to remind us that even when we do reveal something, it might not be so exciting in the end.
LONDON, England – Once more Dan and Rob enter the fray to highlight the juiciest news nuggets from the last seven days on Conversations. Blogbite is a great way to catch up on the latest stories on Conversations, specially if you haven’t stopped by for a few days, as the all the most important stuff gets picked up. And this week is no exception. Mopping up the final bits of Nokia world, taking a look beyond the latest tech, as well as at the latest tech, all form part of this week’s show. Continue reading>>
ESPOO, Finland – On Friday Nokia announced it bought Plum, a small social network outfit focused more on family and letting you create and manage closer-knit communities. One user on Plum.com, David E, aptly explains, “Plum is like Facebook for my family, but more private and intimate.”
Read on to find out more and to join the social network debate.
That piece and this week’s winning comment do something that is often sidelined in favour of many of us lingering on our irrepressible appetite for what’s next (guilty as charged) – both refreshingly stop to enjoy the now, in this case web browsing on Nokia touch devices such as the N97. So it’s funny that earlier today on my morning Stumbleupon stroll that I read a quote on refspace from Socrates that clearly led me to gravitate towards Phil’s story and the winning comment associated with it. Socrates once said, “He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.”
That comment certainly would’ve earned a copy of the Twitter app, Gravity. Wonder if Socrates would’ve been a Nokia sort of guy? Perhaps less profound, but still in the spirit of Socrates, read on to find out who has won this week’s best comment award and a copy of Gravity.
GLOBAL – As we reported yesterday, Conversations has been awash with great comments since the build-up to Nokia World 09 took hold, with over 680 comments and trackbacks centered around new products and solutions that were recently announced. So we’ve scoured through the mountain of opinions and debate highlights to hunt for the comment of the week from all our NW09 coverage.
Read on to find out which comment has won this week’s copy of the Gravity Twitter app.
STUTTGART, Germany – Last week’s Nokia World show brought with it a heap of new products, intriguing solutions and a deluge of fascinating comments and debate. Since NW09 we’ve received over 680 comments and trackbacks on stories we’ve run right here on Conversations. An overwhelming amount – we’re so pleased to be one of the homes to all your interesting and insightful opinions. So please keep them coming (which reminds me, we need to announce the comment of the week winner – as you can imagine, no easy task what with the mountain of comments last week, hence the delay folks).
Following all the exciting announcements last week and in the run up to Nokia World 09 we asked you to vote for your favourite product, and received a record number of votes – 2,670 of them. So continue reading to find out which new Nokia device got you voting in your droves.
STUTTGART, Germany – The first day of Nokia World 09 is a wrap and we’re stoked to have witnessed the arrival of the new Nokia N97 mini, alongside Nokia’s new entertainment focussed X6 and X3 phones. Plus, we’ve been treated to yet more details on the Nokia Booklet 3G and had an opportunity to get hands-on with it (watch Booklet 3G video) and its smaller Maemo-flavoured Nokia N900 cousin (watch N900 video). So with all these new Nokia products out in the wild, which is your favourite? Get your vote counted and as ever, get stuck in and share your thoughts. Bring on day two!
STUTTGART, Germany – The Nokia Conversations crew arrived in Stuttgart a couple days before Nokia World actually begun. With a little extra time on our hands, we thought we’d grab our cameras and take some behind the scenes footage of the Messe Center where Nokia World will be held – as well as a little video of downtown Stuttgart.
With just 48 hours before the event begins, it’s amazing how much setup still needs to be done. But with a professional crew on the scene, no doubt they have everything under control. It’ll be fascinating to see what this place looks like on Wednesday.
STUTTGART, Germany – Heyyy all! Just arrived to blue skies and +27C (80F) temperatures in beautiful Stuttgart. Finland just began getting chilly, so it’s nice to journey south and keep the summer spirits for a little while longer.
Just to let you know – I’ll be rockin’ the Nokia Conversations Twitter channel throughout the entire week, so be sure check in regularly for all the latest up-to-the-second news, updates, highlights and a little of my own personal commentary. Hope you’ll all enjoy!
And don’t forget to follow the #NW09 hashtag for all the Nokia World discussions from around the globe.
