Now this is how you get people interested in your company, free phones only go so far.

This reminds me of the saying: give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime. Nokia is giving these students a lifetime career opportunity and something like that will always put a smile on my face.

Congratulations:

Christian Menkens from St. Wolfgang, Austria; Matthew Rhodes from Angleton, Texas; Anders Davoust from, Vaxjo, Sweden and Nikls Kjellin from Enkoping, Sweden will be awarded $35,000 to split and each will be offered internships by Nokia Siemens Networks on work that will leverage their project experience, for their creation of SoCoNet, a social campus community network that gives students access to lecture materials, campus events and location-based social networking.
