As part of its reorganization efforts and due to a regional labor shortage, Nokia is moving four production lines from its Finnish Salo factory to South Korea. Apparently, the idea is to move the early stage production of mobile phone “engines” to accommodate more final assembly at the Salo factory.
According to Nokia spokeswoman Eija-Riitta Huovinen, it’s becoming increasingly important to have final assembly close to customers in order to deliver tailored products quickly. She also added that following the “move to Korea,” there will be six early stage productions lines left in Finland.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. 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.
