We interview Nokia’s Niklas Savander
Yesterday evening we sat down with Nokia’s Niklas Savander to have a chat — not your usual ‘how’s your EBITDA’ style conversation. Instead we asked him what his first and current handsets were. We asked what his favourite movie was. We asked him what was next with Nokia services, what his children thought of Nokia [...]
MWC: Day 1 Roundup
It’s been a day of big press conferences today as some of the big players laid out their big announcements in the hope of dominating the news: Nokia have launched the E55 and E75 business handsets – Like so much of their recent announcements the hardware of these devices really impresses. I challenge anyone not [...]
MWC: What we have learned today
Despite being an ‘exhibition’, Mobile World Congress is a terrible place for firms to actually do any real communicating – to customers, partners or media. It’s even worse if you hope to actually gather any information. As a venue Fira is nothing short of incredible – perched on the hill-side overlooking Barcelona a small mobile [...]
At the Microsoft press conference
It’s rather interesting to be standing in the middle of a Microsoft press conference on the subject of mobile. Their operating system has, historically, been rubbish. I am delighted that they appear to have got it though. Their new ‘My Phone’ services (we’ve got a vid to show you) really do rock. I’ve still got [...]
Microsoft vs Nokia
Here’s a fascinating comparison between two giants, Microsoft and Nokia. Nokia holds their press conference at an unmarked chamber of commerce miles from the Mobile World Congress convention centre. They lay on buses. There is next to no Nokia branding anywhere on the building or inside. Further, the venue isn’t in Google Maps at (easily [...]
You too could have a MIR jacket
A chap just stopped us on the street here and asked if the MIR jackets we are all wearing were for sale. Not yet…
HTC gorilla bus marketing
As we walked out of the Nokia press conference earlier, there was a chap standing with a sign saying ‘HTC press conference’ and pointing to their waiting branded buses. Very smart. Hijack’em as they come out. Alas we weren’t booked for HTC. We’ve an appointment with the future. We’ve taken a brief tour around the [...]
MIR stickers
We have had a lot of enquiries about how to get hold of some Mobile Industry Review stickers. Standby, we will put up an online form to fill in your address and we shall send some out to you. Back to the MWC throngs.
Nokia’s done, next it’s MWC
We are heading over to the main Mobile World Congress centre having touched down briefly at the Nokia press conference. I have to say I’m impressed with the Ovi Store announcement. It looks pretty good. I’d obviously have liked to have seen this years ago – but there’s a chance Nokia could be experiencing a [...]
Publish.Ovi.com – get your app on it
Nokia’s iTunes app store equivalent is called the ‘Ovi Store’. publish.ovi.com is the address you need. You can register today. 70 percent revenue share to the developer and you can monetise across a whole host of countries. The first handset with Ovi Store pre-installed? The N97. But most of your recent Nokia handsets will be [...]
