On 1st of January, I started in a new job position inside Nokia.

As many of you know, I worked three years in a quite remarkable S60
application development unit, hands-on in the development. Once more, I
want to thank all my old colleagues. It was truly a great ride.

In the new role, I have a much wider scope, and I’m looking at
things from a more strategic perspective. Primarily, my job is to
understand what is happening out there – in the business environment of
S60 – and to ensure that we do right decisions. I haven’t updated the about page yet, but I will, as soon as I understand the new playground better.

Anyway, I have agreed with my new boss that I can keep using ~20% of
my time in blog related activities (= writing this blog, replying to
your comments and emails, and reading and commenting other blogs). I
can keep writing about the same topics as before, but most probably the
topics I find worth interest will evolve hand-in-hand with the new job
responsibilities.

Thanks everybody for your attention so far! I hope this blog will be worth your attention also in the future.

Business aspect of S60? So you’re not going to care about us consumers? :-(

I wish you the best of luck with your new role! You need to give us a few more hints as to what exactly it is you do now because I’m confused.

Stefan Constantinescu

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

    Picture changed!

    So what exactly is your responsibility now, I’m not quite getting it. Are you going after companies looking to deploy S60 to their mobile work force?

    Not to speak for Tommi, but I think you are interpreting the word “business” too narrowly. I suspect he is dealing with issues such what are the strategic directions for development of S60 overall, differentiating it for different consumer groups, beating iPhone to pulp with the amazing new and intitutive editions of the S60 UI etc. :)

    But what I really wanted to say: Oh boy, Nokia really does have deep pockets if they allow him to use 20% for blogging. :) On a more serious note, it is probably a very smart investment from Nokia as the blogs are the pulse of the nerdy underworld of phone enthusiasts. :)
