What will mobile phones be like in 2010? Ask Tero Ojanperä, Nokia’s chief technology officer, who did the final keynote speech at the Nokia World conference today. And he’s not short of ideas:

1. “A navigation device in 2010 will be similar to the N95, but it will deduce information from your calendar, then input the navigation and take you to the place you need to go.”

2. “If you’re a journalist, you’ll be documenting an event like this with your 10-megapixel camera, and you will be taking videos with your HDTV-quality video camera that’s embedded in your mobile device.”

3. “Say you’re starving for your Latte. Your devices finds the various coffee machines for you, sends the parameters of your Latte over the Internet, so that when you walk to that machine, your Latte has been brewed.”

But the most interesting idea he floated during his speech was of phones with 100GB of internal memory, containing every single item of media you own – music, films, photos, documents and so on.

This is the stuff that dreams are made of. I wonder if as a CTO he has access to the latest projects that Nokia Research is working on? What we need are more carriers to adopt the T-Mobile unlimited GPRS for less than $10/month model, then, and only then, will you see adoption increase.
