GLOBAL – Two new devices were launched this morning, marking the next stage of multi-talented devices from Nokia. The all-new N85 is stuffed to the gills with features and functions including N-Gage gaming, 5-megapixel camera, voice navigation and music with built-in FM transmitter. It’s dubbed the definitive entertainment package. The N85 is joined by the new N79 which packs a top feature set with interchangeable covers with matching screen themes to offer one the ultimate in customisation.

ESPOO, Finland – Oy vey, it’s been a busy day here in Espoo. Add to that, JBC and Mike, on bank holiday in the UK, leaving me doing all the writing today, and I feel a bit pressured.

ESPOO, Finland – We are trusting people. But, in the immortal words of Ronald Reagan, “doveryai, no proveryai” [trust, but verify]. Therefore, organizations always seek to provide more transparency, either through helpful standardized labels, blatant Chinese notes, or stripping naked.
Huh?

CALIFORNIA, USA – The brainchild of Advanced Wireless Solutions, Backup-Pal is one of the apps (well, it’s more of a gizmo really) to receive support from Nokia as a result of the 2008 Forum Nokia Innovation Series program. A palm-sized peripheral, it plugs straight into your handset, sucking up and securely storing all your contact details with a single push of a button.

ESPOO, Finland – Here at Nokia Conversations, Mike and James (evil guys) have pushed me to talk about the things we link to via delicious. Some folks I know call it ‘blog all open tabs’, meaning as you find interesting things online and open them in new tabs in the browser, at some point, just write about all the stuff.

GLOBAL – Over the last year or so, Instant Messaging has become as essential a tool in our working day as email. Throw the new E71 into the mix and the desire to take that tool mobile is quite high. Enter the next candidate from the Forum Nokia Innovation Series. WebMessenger Mobile is a tidy little app that’ll connect you to all the major IM services. What’s more, it can also form the backbone of enterprise level IM services, helping big companies keep their workforce truly connected.

INTERNATIONAL – Beta Labs is one of those rare online destinations that buzzes with a raw sense of pioneering motivation. It modestly circles the confines of a traditional corporate development environment, creating an unsnippable umbilical link between the people making new apps and a dedicated unfiltered brigade of Nokia users who help make them even better. A pretty potent combination, and a genuinely encouraging foundation to build upon.

ESPOO, Finland – As mobile mapping fuses ever-more irreversibly with location-based services, it’s becomes clearer and clearer where this breed of context aware application is headed. The answer? Significantly more localized, to the point where your personal space is quickly becoming hugely populated with invaluably integrated morsels of info. And the latest large-scale contributer to this pot of on-the-go context aware knowledge within Nokia Maps 2.0 is Lonely Planet – finely detailed location-based knowledge for over 100 destinations are now downloadable to Nokia Maps.

ESPOO, Finland – Over the past year I’ve become hooked on the notion that we’re bang in the middle of a full-blown mobile behavior revolution. Tangible elements such as high speed data connections, GPS and on-the-move social networking are heralding the change, with services such as those highlighted by the 2008 Forum Nokia Innovation Series program affecting the shift in how we interact with our devices. So this morning, on witnessing the birth of the new Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte, my first reaction (after rolling my tongue back up off the floor), was that this isn’t just a performance piece of luxury mobile hardware. More interesting, to me at least, are how the elements that make up this device – the materials, it’s interface (and in some cases lack of it), and hidden talents – echo the mobile behavioral changes I allude to, but in terms of the physical.
