Exclusive video: A peek into Nokia’s phone cache

ESPOO, Finland – Walking through the office the other day I happened upon a long table crammed with suitcases full Nokia phones from the last 20 or so years. Turns out Nokia was asked to lend 100 devices for a design exhibition at Fiskars, here in Finland. The ladies involved, Tarja Österberg and Annamari Qvist have been with Nokia for a long time and are the best ones to pick out the devices with the most history.

I noticed lots of folks stopping to look at the phones, many reminiscing which was their first, their old-time favourite, and even a few that they launched. A true walk down memory lane for many of us.

But don’t let me keep you from seeing the video and meeting Tarja and Annamari. So, go ahead, and click through. Keep your eyes open, too, and see how many phones you can identify!

Mobile recycling awareness begins to grow

INTERNATIONAL – Yesterday’s release of Nokia’s recycling survey results has struck a collective eco nerve across the web. Yes, the results of the survey weren’t by any means pretty, but there’s no hiding from the fact that these are the cold hard facts and that it’s this reality that is sparking awareness, which has got to be a great thing. Especially, considering the results showed that almost half of us don’t even know we can recycle mobile phones, with most of those that do not knowing how.
