I wanted to blog this in the morning, but I had to get to work. I’m on a three hour break right now so let me share this awesome letter with you:

Hi Stefan,

greetings from Nokia headquarters in chilly Finland.

We’re writing to cordially invite you to the S60 Summit to be held April 24th-25th in Madrid, Spain.

It is a great opportunity to network, hear the latest developments on S60 and get a glimpse of the future plans as well.

You may have already received an invitation for this event and wondering why we’re writing again – Because of your much appreciated enthusiasm for S60, we’d like to invite you as a special guest!  Airfare and accommodations will be provided by S60.

Hope you’ll be able to make it!  (And apologizes for being so last minute, but we wanted to extend the invitation to you anyways).  Phil Schwarzmann from S60 will contact you tomorrow about flight/hotel/registration details. In the meantime please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

I’m highly, ridiculously, extremely thankful to be given this invitation.

Thank you Nokia!

    Congrats Stefan!!!!

    I know you would tell them anyway, but just in case you forget, tell them abot the S40 functions the S60 is lacking!!! You’ve blogged some, and I find them all stupid to not be implemented.

  • Stefan Constantinescu

    PlayerKill: Thanks mate. I’m tyring my best to get a 6300 for review purposes.

    Wozik: Definitely! I’m bringing my Canon and my Nokia N93.

    always selling Nokia: That would be awesome. Maybe you could show me around? Shoot me an email mate.

    James: Thank you. If I ever into the death star I’m going to be counting on you to review all of our new models picture quality. Some people are just better photographers than others.

    Jeb: Expires in 2012. I got mine updated before they started putting RFID chips in them.
