Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo talks about the iPhone

"I don’t think that what we have seen so far (from Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)) is something that would any way necessitate us changing our thinking when it comes to openness, our software and business approach," Nokia (NYSE: NOK) Chief Executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo told a conference call with analysts.
"But the fact that Apple is entering the market, in general, I think will stimulate this market, it’s very clear."
"I think it will be good for the industry and I very much welcome that."
Apple announced its much-anticipated music-playing iPhone earlier this month, to capitalize on the popularity of its iPod digital music players.
Kallasvuo also said he expected Nokia’s Enterprise unit, which makes business-orientated phones, would reach break-even in the first half of this year.

I think we can all agree that this is pretty much spot on. I absolutley welcome the competition, and there are at least a dozen things the iPhone does I would love to see the cellular industry adopt.
