So here we go, EXCLUSIVE to SMS Text News (and every other blogger/journalist in the room):

    SMS Text News: Olli-Pekka, what was your first ever handset?
    Olli-Pekka: ‘You had to carry it around, it was a 5kg ‘handset’ — this is back in 1985, I think. It was ‘hand luggage’!

Woosh!

And my second follow-up question…

    SMS Text News: Which handset - from the ones that you showed earlier would you pick? An E-Series or an N-Series handset?
    Olli-Pekka: I use a Nokia (NYSE: NOK) E61 [he brings it out of his pocket]. I use this as a business phone and to read my email during the day.

I thought that was it, but then he continued to explain that in the evening or at the weekend, he uses an N-Series multimedia computer to listen to music and the like. Wicked.
