GLOBAL – The nature of being immersed in the realm of mobile technology naturally dictates that we hungrily devour current developments, simultaneously keeping one eye on the telescope firmly fixed on the horizon. Truth is looking backwards isn’t a typical behavioral trait when it comes to our breed, but of course it’s healthy, can be refreshing and is often entertaining, as proved by Symbian Freaks’ A Look Back At Nokia History piece that ran over the weekend.

ESPOO, Finland – Apologies for being absent these past many days. I’m still trying to figure out where last week or so went. There was a lot going on (the world did not end) and I had some great deep discussions with folks inside and outside the company that will have me writing some interesting things over the next weeks.

ESPOO, Finland – First we had real phones available in real shops spurning real fakes. Then real phones that weren’t available, being faked. Now we have phones that aren’t even real being faked. Go figure. I found out via Unwired View that Mobile Mentalism found some pics of a Chinese phone that is based on nothing more than a Nokia patent.

LONDON, England - Charlie mentioned it the other day, and International Herald Tribune did a piece here earlier so I figured it must be my turn to have a stab. Ovi. Finnish for “door” dontcha know, is being slowly released into the wild and is, it seems, getting better every day. Does it have everything right now? No. But it does have some very cool features which though excited about, I wasn’t sure how they’d turn out.
