I have few regrets in life, mainly because thinking about them is a waste of time, but something that has recently been developing inside of me are feelings of remorse. After sitting down with product managers, engineers, marketers, strategists, etc at Nokia I developed an even stronger bond with the company than ever before. Knowing…
Viral PR: Nokia 2 Sony Ericsson 0
We all know viral marketing is another buzz word and companies are trying their best to find the right formula to create a marketing blitz that reaches epic proportions a la iPhone.

Cat’s out of the bag, I’m going to London
I’ve been following Ricky’s quest to get a passport on Jaiku for some time now. The Symbian Guru has finally got his papers and will be attending the Nokia Go Play event on August 29th. Since he is making an announcement about it, I might as well too: I’m going to London! Looking forward to…
I went to Finland and all I got was a venereal disease called Nsyndrome
Props to the guys in Nokia Multimedia’s Online Marketing Team.

Picture: Nokia 6263, the first S40 phone with GPS and support for WCDMA 1700 MHz
What a beautiful backside. Nokia Port has the scoop on this baby, 320 x 240 resolution screen with 16 million colors, WCDMA 1700 MHz and GSM on only 850/1900 MHz for some strange reason. What is impressive however is GPS, a first for Series 40. Bring multitasking support to this feature phone platform and I’ll…
Confirmed: Nokia set to launch music store
We all know why I’m in Finland; I’m attempting to score a full time position at Nokia because I honestly feel like I can make a difference. Call it being young and dumb and full of dreams, but I would rather chase my goals than lead the path of taking safe choices. All that aside,…
