Well in my openion Samsung is really doing better in a sense they are doing mobiles for almost all segments.. Samsung is cheaper and with the inclusion of Android giving more user rich interfaces.

Actually in recent times 3 seem to have got a decent relationship with bloggers, but apart from that I can't see anyone else looking to interact with bloggers or send test devices out for reviews etc.

[...] To every blogger around, there’s no doubting the fact that Nokia has the best interaction programs with mobile sites and blogs, as well as consumers and followers. And I am not the first person to day that. [...]

Ewan,,

Thanks for the shout out about our Nokia Blogger Relations Program that has been running since November, 2005. The programs and audiences that both WomWorld and Comunicano manage for Nokia are different in scope and nature.

Next time I’m in London perhaps we can meet up and go through things to provide you with deeper level of detail than is on the surface. I’ll be there later this month for the better part of two weeks.

It’s also gratifying to see how what Nokia, Womworld and Comunicano are doing is so well regarded.

Thanks for your kind thoughts,

Andy Abramson

Charlie; good hear that Nokia is woring hard to have a coherant, singular-ish voice in the blogsphere and in social media. That's something that companies and PR agencies could really learn from and push themselves. I think Nokia is in a solid position though because you have a device that is communications-based, personal, and communial all at the same time. Give a lot of layers that can be explored, and you (Nokia) does this as well as anyone. Antoine of MMM/Brighthand's last blog post..Its Not the Hardware, Its the UX That's Broken

Ewan,

Thanks for the kudos. I (with boss, Christian Lindholm) was the first in the company to start reaching out to bloggers, back in February 04, with Lifeblog. If you knew of Lifeblog in 04-05, it was because of me and and the bloggers that helped me.

WOM World and the US loaner program was set up, I think, in 06, and was Nokia trying the waters in social media relations (I was not involved, ironically). As you comment, the focus was not well balanced.

This year I was called back to join the newly formed Social Media team. My first task was to get a basic (modest) blog up and running for the communications team (a few more weeks if all goes well). Of course, we do have a few blogs existing (the S60 and Betalabs blogs are the most prominent) and we have a ton of employees who have identified themselves as employees publicly on their personal sites (like me) and occasionally participate in the conversations about Nokia. But my site will cover stories (not specs and tech) that are about the people and companies who use, are affected by, or are related to the products and services from Nokia.

While I might be setting up a Nokia-wide blog, that’s not going to be the only place my team will be (I’m not trying to control the conversation, just add to it). We’ve set up channels in Flickr, Share on Ovi, YouTube, del.icio.us, and may set up more, so that we not only participate where people are, but provide media that folks can play with, forward, comment on, and basically follow.

Yeah, Social Media finally is official at Nokia and we have a ton of people who actually know it. This time around, we are trying to set up a coherent, consistent, and for the long-run strategy to participate in the conversations happening around the Nokia neighborhood.

What do you think?

Ping me in a few weeks to see where I’m at. If we’re not public with the (damned) blog by then, I might be able to give you a peek.

Cheers and keep up the good work!

Tchau,

Charlie

Although they’re an operator, not a handset manufacturer, there’s 3′s 3 Mobile Buzz. At the moment they’re focused soley on the 3Skypephone. Still, they’ve dished out a mountain of handsets since just before the launch of the handset. Interestingly, they’ve not just handed them out to tech bloggers – they’ve put them in the hands of a wide and varied bunch.

Palm has one; but it is not like Nokia’s. Microsoft has their MVP program and a few other ditties that folks know who’ve been reached out to by MS. From my understanding of HP and Moto; they reah out only to certain people, I believve RIM is the same, but more towards non-bloggers.

So Nokia moght have the most far reaching blogger strategy, but not the only one.
