Some time ago I blogged about a talk given by Nokia Australia General Manager Shaun Colligan at a Leadership Matters seminar in Perth on the impact of mobile technology on the media.

It wasn’t long after that I got in touch with Shaun and told him what we were doing at PerthNorg and we agreed to meetup. It was a great meeting and Shaun and I decided we could put some of Nokia’s great technology to use on PerthNorg that could put our vision of new media into practice.

He gave us the use of five of the latest Nokia N93 phones.

Awesome stuff! If I was a mobile journalist I would want 3 Nokia devices in my arsenal: The N95, N800, and a Nokia Bluetooth keyboard.
