Singapore has been the preferred venue for regional communications conferences such as CommunicAsia. This year is no different with CommunicAsia 2008 currently ongoing. But that’s just one side of the coin. I was lucky enough to have been invited to Nokia’s very own Nokia Connection 2008 and tonight capped Day 1 of the ceremonies. Here’s the rundown:
Two new enterprise phones were announced, Nokia E66 and the Nokia E71 both sporting Intellisync, email functions, HSDPA and WiFi.The main difference is that the E71 comes with a full QWERTY keypad and is ultra-thin while the E66 is a lower end version of he E71 sporting similar features but doesn’t come with a full QWERTY pad.
Nokia N-Gage games are slowly taking shape with three new game previews developed in house by Nokia
Demos of the Nokia 5220 and 5320 together with performances from the Nokia Independent Artists Club (Nokia IAC). In my next few posts I will be going into more depth with the new announcements, most especially with the new N-Gage platform impressions which completely blew my mind.
Last year we bore witness to Nokia Go Play which was the Finn’s announcement of their new strategy towards the Internet and social media. Basically, Nokia’s efforts with Ovi, the N-gage most especially, is slowly being realized, without them losing focus on their core competence, which is the manufacturing of mobile phones.
Stay tuned for more!
