BOSTON, USA – One would think that very little is going on this week, what with Nokia making three device announcements in three business days. And all that a week before Nokia World 09. But we’ve managed to find a string of interesting things going on that are not directly related to the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition, the Nokia 5230, or the Nokia Booklet 3G.
Below we have links to a few articles that are mostly a hard look at Nokia products and solutions. But if you read all the way to the end, we’ve also linked to a few good tips.

ESPOO, Finland – The folks at Nokia Singapore had a little issue. They wanted to have a round table discussion with journalists to discuss the environmental activities we have at Nokia. One problem: all the people they wanted to talk to were in Espoo. It seemed silly to make a special event and have the speakers fly down. While the event would have been good, the flights, time, and money spent would not have been proper.
We do have this amazing HALO system for really good video conferencing. And we have a HALO room in Espoo and Singapore, so it made sense to invite the journalists in Singapore to connect to the people in Espoo via HALO.* We sat in on the round table discussion and took some video of what it was like (see below). Also, there were some great things said and some choice presentations. But we’ll hold off on those because we’re possibly having another round table in the near future.
So, read on to see what it was like and to see some video of the round table event.
