Australian IT interviews Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo
By Stefan Constantinescu on Monday, January 22nd, 2007 at 10:21 AM PST In Financial/Corporate News
This is quite a long interview, I’m only going to post a few of the questions. I highly suggest you check out Australian IT’s entire article:
Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is said to have a war chest of €9 billion for acquisitions. What are the types of companies you are looking for, and will you be looking at Australia?
Our practice has been to buy small to medium companies. Geography does not matter. We go where we can find good technology, good people and good markets.
Gate5 is German. Loudeye is a US-British company, so all markets are possible and definitely we will also look at Australia.
Why has Nokia not cracked the Japanese or Korean markets?
Japan’s mobile phone technology is different from technologies elsewhere in the world. We felt it was not commercially viable to enter that market.
The Japanese market is now moving to third-generation mobiles and the Koreans are moving as well.
That means their technology is becoming the same as elsewhere. This development is opening up access to the Japanese market.
That is why we are seeing a sizeable upside. Japan is a very advanced market. We have been investigating the Japanese market and there are many high-end users who like technology.
Definitely read the whole thing. If you haven’t heard Olli speak yet then you check out the keynote address he gave at CES.

I have experienced the most disappointment time with my NOKIA n-91. The phone shutdown and reboot again and again. I have sent it in for numerous repairs for a brand new phone..
It cost me 5 trips and countless hours to wait in queue and not factoring in my travelling costs and time cost also. The centre & technical manager does not have the courtesy to show their face or call me to clarify the problems .
As such I see a justifiable & valid reason to replace my problematic set with other models.
I have given enough patience and consideration to settle this matter with Nokia Care Line regionally but I don’t think nokia care , cares about us. You pepol ask me we r giving u replacement into new one but today I got call frm ur side mr. manoj(9999106591) ask me please collect that same set it is ok now tell me when its not get ok in 10 months and 5 visit how can this time I belive ? tell me one thing how many times I have to go nokia care
u know already i have been there 5 times if my set is not get repaired in 5 times how can thistime i belive its ok now ?
you r saying again that if i face problem i give it to
you back tell me i purchase this set for nokia care or
for me ?i take it to home and after some day give it to yau
back its not going silly?you r a very good company in fact world”s best inphone you should take care of your coustomer but its
not seems like that you r not going to satisfying me
in fact you r making me in trouble which is not good
picture of your companyIF you make me promice that in that set which comes tou 5 times not give me problem again than i m agree to
take that set if you are not in position to commite
me of your product (for that products your company
known in world no. one phone and coustomer care
company) than who will to commit me. i want commitment
(again i m saying) because i purchase it for myself not for u dear nokia care
IT IS GETTING NOW TOOOOOOOOOOOOO LATE

PLEASE MAKE IT FAST
Used to a proud NOKIA user
