NokiaIn a move towards building a more channel-focused organization, Nokia is redefining the roles of its device sales teams for North America and relocating most sales support people closer to customers – from Irving, Texas, to White Plains, New York. Furthermore, Mark Louison, the current head of Nokia’s networks business in North America, will become the head of Nokia’s devices business in the area on July 1, 2007. As of April 1, Louison will also become President of North American arm of Nokia. After all the changes are complete, Tim Eckersley, the current head of Nokia’s device sales in North America, will leave his current position at the end of June.

We’re eager to see will the Nokia’s new guy bring more sales to the company, especially in the U.S. where the world’s leading phone manufacturer still struggles to reach competition.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
