The Singapore-based Nokia Connection has traditionally been a local Nokia forum that could hardly compete in significance to the yearly Nokia World, but this year promises to be different. Nokia promises to make the event “the
biggest” of the year:
“This is an exciting time for Nokia!
A solid strategy is in place and the execution of that strategy has started! Join Nokia Connection 2011 to experience first-hand, the new Nokia ecosystem that will be introduced to the world. This site offers a one-stop location for information on Nokia’s biggest event of the year.“
The program states that the event is invite-only, featuring
Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop who will update listeners on the developments around the Nokia-Microsoft partnership, but even more importantly – he will “set the stage for a number of exciting Nokia products and service launches.”
Next under the limelight comes Mary McDowell, heading the company’s Mobile Phones department dedicated to affordable devices. Here you can count on some exciting announcements “including the
global launch of brand new mobile devices and related services.” We would expect to see some new Series 40 devices break cover, but the Finns are yet to surprise us with the service offerings.
Last but not least in the program is Marco Argenti heading the Developer & Marketplace department at Nokia. Add to that the fact that nearly at the same time, a Nokia Developer Workshop is taking place, we would place our bets on some news about a MeeGo-running device. What are your hopes and expectations about Nokia Connection? Feel free to let us know in the comments below.
