Analytical love and hate relationship with Nokia and Symbian
James, over at Nokia Creative posted a very intriguing question: what are we expecting at the Mobile World Conference from Nokia (and what are we hoping for)? My prediction track record is 0 out of 1, but that doesn’t stop me from thinking about what I would like to see from Nokia in 1 week.

Here is my take on the top 10 mistakes – in no particular order – Nokia made during 2008
The Nokia 5800 is a loveable device.
Here is my take on the interesting new technologies and their availability in phones.

USB charging isn’t the best thing since sliced bread, but it was until now abundant from Nokia’s smartphone line. As Nokia has 70% market share in big parts of the world, there is a charger nearby everywhere. Also, with bluetooth and OTA sync, I hardly connect to my PC with cables anymore – but I [...]
The Xenon flash has made a debut on the Nokia N82 and then … it has disappeared from the portfolio. It seems that neither the current failship N96, nor the next flagship, the N97 will sport Xenon flash, so there will be some waiting until the N82 update.
The Xenon flash itself is important, because it [...]
What’s the buzz?
