No tech trip to Finland would be complete without a trip to the Nokia House, a.k.a. the global headquarters for the world’s largest handset maker. I spent a few hours there today (disclosure: Finnfacts paid for my trip) and it was quite an interesting experience. Almost as interesting as Stefan’s first trip. Located in Espoo…
